  • Steelers' Chris Boswell: Hits two field goals in win

    Boswell made both of his field-goal attempts and all three of his PATs in Sunday's 27-20 win over the Colts.

    Boswell was able to make multiple field goals for the fifth time this season, connecting on a 25-yard attempt as time expired in the first half before later adding a 46-yarder in the fourth quarter. The kicker has now gone 16-for-18 on field-goal tries while making all 20 of his extra-point attempts over eight games this season.

  • Alvin Kamara RB | NO

    Saints' Alvin Kamara: Totals 17 yards in loss

    Kamara totaled six carries for 14 yards and caught one of three targets for three yards during Sunday's 34-10 defeat to the Rams.

    Kamara was completely stonewalled and had a season low in yards while also tying his season low for carries in a game. Instead, Taysom Hill led the team with 30 rushing yards on four carries. Kamara also fumbled on his final carry of the game in the fourth quarter. The ninth-year running back didn't see an uptick in usage even with rookie quarterback Tyler Shough making his first career start, as the Rams dominated the Saints in time of possession 43:53-16:07. Over the last five games, Kamara has now averaged 8.2 carries for 24.2 yards. He also hasn't scored a touchdown since Week 1. Kamara's production is well below his reputation as a bell-cow back in fantasy, and his lack of explosiveness and limited production will likely continue to limit his output going forward. The Saints next face off with the Panthers in Week 10 on Sunday.

  • Rashid Shaheed WR | SEA

    Saints' Rashid Shaheed: Top target in Week 9 loss

    Shaheed reeled in five of nine targets for 68 yards during Sunday's 34-10 loss against the Rams.

    Shaheed saw a team high in targets from rookie quarterback Tyler Shough, who made his first career start after being named QB1 over previous starter Spencer Rattler. New Orleans' offense didn't show much improvement with their new signal-caller, but Shaheed had his third-most productive outing of the season, tallying at least 50 receiving yards for the fourth time. It was also his fourth game with at least nine targets; meanwhile, WR1 Chris Olave tied with Juwan Johnson for the team's second-most targets (four). It will be worth monitoring if this target share continues during the Saints' Week 10 contest versus Carolina.

  • Chris Olave WR | NO

    Saints' Chris Olave: Limited to four targets Week 9

    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.

  • Tyler Shough QB | NO

    Saints' Tyler Shough: Unimpressive in first career start

    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.

  • Luke McCaffrey WR | WAS

    Commanders' Luke McCaffrey: Hurts shoulder on SNF

    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.

  • Kyren Williams RB | LAR

    Rams' Kyren Williams: Tops 100 yards against Saints

    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.

  • Jakobi Meyers WR | JAC

    Raiders' Jakobi Meyers: Quiet in return Sunday

    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.

  • Rams' Matthew Stafford: Barrage of touchdowns continues

    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.

  • Kareem Hunt RB | KC

    Chiefs' Kareem Hunt: Scores with 55 yards Sunday

    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.
