Olave accrued three receptions (on four targets) for 57 yards during Sunday's 34-10 loss to the Rams.

Olave was not the primary target for rookie quarterback Tyler Shough, who made his first career start Sunday after replacing previous QB1 Spencer Rattler at the end of the Week 8 loss to Tampa Bay. Instead, No.2 wide receiver Rashid Shaheed led the Saints with nine targets. Olave tied with tight end Juwan Johnson for the team's second-most targets, which represented a season low for the wideout. It didn't help that LA dominated New Orleans in time of possession 43:53-16:07. If the Saints' offense continues to struggle at this rate, Olave could be in store for another low output Week 10 versus division-rival Carolina.

Shough was 15-for-24 passing for 176 yards, one touchdown and one interception during Sunday's 34-10 defeat to the Rams.

Shough turned in a quiet performance in another dreadful outing for the Saints' offense. New Orleans played from behind in stops and starts for essentially the entire game, as the Rams dominated time of possession 43:53-16:07. Shough showed some promise when he piloted a six-play, 71-yard touchdown drive at the end of the first half, but he had only three offensive series in the second half, including a final possession that ended with a fourth-down interception. Shough and the Saints' offense will need to make some significant improvements before their first matchup versus the division-rival Panthers in Week 10 next Sunday.

McCaffrey (shoulder) is questionable to return to Sunday's game against the Seahawks.

McCaffrey returned the opening kickoff 19 yards but was ruled questionable to return shortly thereafter. Washington's thin at wide receiver in the absence of Terry McLaurin (quadriceps). Chris Moore, Jaylin Lane and Treylon Burks are the healthy alternatives to Deebo Samuel.

Williams rushed the ball 25 times for 114 yards and one touchdown in Sunday's 34-10 win over the Saints.

Williams took advantage of a positive game script to log season-high marks in carries and yards, highlighted by his first time reaching 100 yards on the ground across eight contests. His longest rush of the day went for 15 yards, and he still has only one gain of at least 20 yards on 132 attempts for the campaign. Nevertheless, Williams had his most productive fantasy performance, which was helped by a touchdown plunge early in the fourth quarter. He should continue to serve as the Rams' lead back, though he remains reliant primarily on volume to turn in strong fantasy performances.

Meyers (knee) finished with four receptions on six targets for 23 yards in Sunday's 30-29 overtime loss to the Jaguars.

Meyers joined TE Brock Bowers (knee) in returning to action out of Las Vegas' Week 8 bye after both starters missed time with minor knee injuries. The 28-year-old Meyers was unable to sniff his teammate's ridiculous 12-127-3 receiving line, instead finishing with his lowest yardage output of the season. With no touchdowns in seven games, Meyers has been a bit of a disappointment through the first half of the fantasy campaign with a 33-342-0 receiving line. If the 2-6 Raiders do not move their top trade asset before Tuesday's deadline, Meyers' next appearance will come against the Broncos on Thursday Night Football in Week 10.

Stafford completed 24 of 32 passes for 281 yards, four touchdowns and zero interceptions in Sunday's 34-10 win over the Saints. He also had four rushes for minus-4 yards.

Stafford had an exceptional performance on limited volume, completing five passes of at least 20 yards -- including a 39-yard strike down the right sideline while beating double-coverage for a touchdown to Puka Nacua (chest). Stafford converted an additional three touchdowns, coming from four, three and one yard away. Even though Stafford threw only nine passes in the second half due to game script, he managed to turn in his fourth game with at least 275 passing yards and has three or more touchdowns in four of his last five matchups.

Hunt rushed 11 times for 49 yards and a touchdown while catching one of two targets for six yards in Sunday's 28-21 loss to the Bills.

Isiah Pacheco (knee) was unable to suit up after absorbing a big hit last week, opening the door for Hunt to serve as the Chiefs' primary back against the Bills on Sunday. The 29-year-old Hunt was up to the task, leading his team in rushing yards while collecting his fifth rushing touchdown of the season. Brashard Smith (3-7-0) finished a distant second in backfield touches, as head coach Andy Reid opted to lean on Hunt more instead of continuing a two-back approach in Pacheco's absence. There is a chance the latter will return following the Chiefs' upcoming bye week, but Hunt has been providing enough value in a timeshare to warrant flex consideration against the Broncos in Week 11.

Warren rushed the ball 16 times for 31 yards and two touchdowns in Sunday's 27-20 win over the Colts. He added two receptions on two targets for minus-2 yards.

Warren dominated rushing opportunity out of the Pittsburgh backfield, accounting for 16 of 21 attempts by running backs. He was equally inefficient with the chances, with his longest rush of the game going for only eight yards. Warren continues to concede targets to Kenneth Gainwell, though he seemingly strengthened his grip on the goal-line role by punching in a pair of scores from one and two yards, respectively. Warren has had an up-and-down season, but he's generally found a way to turn in productive performances.

Stewart left Sunday's loss to the Bears with a knee injury, Charlie Goldsmith of the Dayton Daily News reports.

Prior to the injury, Stewart had three tackles and one QB hit. The Bengals' first-round pick is still looking for his first NFL sack through Week 9, having missed four games due to injury. He was considered a developmental prospect coming out of Texas A&M, but even accounting for that learning curve, he has been a big disappointment.

Bowers (knee) corralled 12 of 13 targets for 127 yards and three touchdowns while gaining six yards off of one carry in Sunday's 30-29 overtime loss to the Jaguars.

Bowers burst back onto the fantasy scene with three trips to the end zone for his managers after missing the Raiders' last three contests with a knee injury. The explosive tight end notched his second 100-yard game of the season while recording his first rush attempt in 2025 (he logged five attempts as a rookie). Bowers made up for lost time with Sunday's outpouring of production, bumping his receiving line up to 31-357-3 in five starts. With no setbacks to report, Bowers will attempt to become a matchup problem for Denver's highly-touted defense on Thursday Night Football in Week 10.
