Chicago Bears rookie running back Kyle Monangai had a monster game filling in for the injured D'Andre Swift (groin) in Week 9. Monangai recorded 198 scrimmage yards on 29 touches in his team's 49-42 win over the Cincinnati Bengals. Swift's injury is not expected to keep him out long-term, so fantasy managers should not expect Monangai to see 20-plus touches every week. However, the rookie was closing the gap between the backs even before Swift went down. In Week 8 against the Baltimore Ravens, Swift played 31 offensive snaps while Monangai was just behind him at 29. Monangai is currently averaging 5.3 yards per rush attempt, so his efficiency may make it difficult to keep him off the field. In fantasy leagues where he remains available, Monangai should be a priority waiver-wire target heading into a favorable Week 10 matchup against the New York Giants.

The Washington Commanders are fearful that cornerback Marshon Lattimore (knee) suffered a torn ACL during the team's 38-14 Week 9 loss to the Seattle Seahawks, according to Ian Rapoport and Mike Garafolo of NFL Network. Lattimore's injury is another potentially brutal blow for Washington, which also lost quarterback Jayden Daniels (elbow) to a dislocated elbow during the game. Across nine games this season, Lattimore has recorded 16 solo tackles, seven passes defensed, and one interception. Pro Football Focus grades Lattimore 86th out of 108 qualified cornerbacks this season, but the four-time Pro-Bowler is still a key piece of the Commanders' defense. If Lattimore misses extended time, Antonio Hamilton Sr. and Jonathan Jones are the likely candidates to replace him in Washington. The Commanders will host the Detroit Lions in Week 10.

John Keim of ESPN reported that the Washington Commanders quarterback Jayden Daniels (elbow) suffered a dislocated left elbow during the fourth quarter of Sunday night's 38-14 loss to the Seattle Seahawks, sources told ESPN. He is scheduled to undergo an MRI on Monday to confirm the diagnosis and help determine a recovery timeline. Daniels is expected to be sidelined indefinitely, but it is uncertain whether his season is over, according to sources. This is a gut-wrenching injury for the Commanders and Daniels fantasy owners, as the injury occurred late in the game of a 38-7 blowout. Marcus Mariota will return under center for the Commanders, limiting the offense's upside for players like Terry McLaurin (quadriceps) and Deebo Samuel Sr. Mariota can be trusted as a QB2 for those in two-QB or superflex leagues due to his rushing upside. Fantasy managers will want to continue to keep tabs on Daniels' recovery timeline as more news is reported.

Jacksonville Jaguars wide receiver Parker Washington led the Jaguars in targets in Week 9 against the Las Vegas Raiders with nine and hauled in eight receptions for 90 yards, with a 26 percent target share. With Travis Hunter (knee) out for another three games minimum, Brenton Strange (hip, quadriceps) sidelined, and Brian Thomas Jr. (ankle) struggling in 2025 and rolling his ankle late in the game on Sunday, Washington is becoming a must-add in all formats heading into Week 10, as he is looking like the Trevor Lawrence's go-to guy in the passing game. Even in Week 9 with Thomas Jr. healthy, Washington was the leading receiver in this contest and is looking like a low-end WR2/flex option for Week 10, regardless of Thomas Jr. Week 10 status.

Washington Commanders wide receiver Luke McCaffrey (shoulder) broke his collarbone on the opening kick return last night, sources tell The Insiders. A possible tough end to a promising season for the 2024 third-round pick, NFL networks' Mike Garafolo reports. McCaffrey had a tough break on Sunday night, as he was injured on the very first play of the game and was quickly ruled out. The second-year player out of Rice University has been enjoying a nice season thus far with three touchdowns and 203 receiving yards, to go along with his 769 kick return yards. Although the length of how long he will be sidelined has not been fully disclosed, McCaffrey will likely land on the IR, and fantasy managers who roster him will want to keep tabs on any updates over the next 12-24 hours. In redraft formats, he can be dropped, as he remains a dynasty stash at this time.

NFL insider Ian Rapoport reported Monday morning that Washington Commanders quarterback Jayden Daniels (elbow), who left Sunday's loss with his left arm immobilized, suffered a dislocated elbow and will have an MRI today to determine how long he's out, sources say. The belief is it's not as bad as it could've been. But Daniels will miss several games. Additionally, Rapoport reported that the X-rays for Jayden Daniels' left arm were negative, source says. Considering the cart came out for Daniels on Sunday night, the news is encouraging when words like "not as bad as it could've been" are being thrown out. Nonetheless, it appears Daniels will be sidelined indefinitely, and Marcus Mariota will return under center for the Commanders, limiting the offense's upside for players like Terry McLaurin (quadriceps) and Deebo Samuel Sr. Mariota can be trusted as a QB2 for those in two-QB or superflex leagues due to his rushing upside.

ESPN Senior NFL Insider, Adam Schefter, reports that the Miami Dolphins are trading edge rusher Jaelan Phillips to the Philadelphia Eagles in exchange for a 2026 third-round pick. This is the third trade the Eagles have made in the past week. They have now added Phillips, as well as cornerbacks Jaire Alexander and Michael Carter. Phillips was selected by the Dolphins with the 18th overall pick in the 2021 NFL Draft and is known to have high-motor, strong pass-rushing skills and high potential. Unfortunately, he has been limited by season-ending injuries, including a torn Achilles tendon in 2023 and an ACL injury in 2024; however, when he has been on the field, he has been effective. Phillips has 26 career sacks and 177 career tackles. In his first two seasons in the NFL (2021 and 2022), he played all 17 games each season and had seven-plus sacks in each year. This move should help the Eagles strengthen their front line and enable them to compete defensively for another NFC East title.

Seattle Seahawks WR Jaxon Smith-Njigba posted eight receptions for 129 yards on nine targets in Week 9 against the Washington Commanders, while posting a single rushing attempt for 11 yards. He is the fifth player in the Super Bowl era with at least 75 yards in each of his first eight games, joining Minnesota Vikings WR Adam Thielen (2018), Pittsburgh Steelers WR Antonio Brown (2014), Dallas Cowboys WR Michael Irvin (1995) and San Francisco 49ers TE Dwight Clark (1982).

Dynasty | 49ers running back Christian McCaffrey had 106 rushing yards, five catches, 67 receiving yards and two touchdowns in a win against the Giants. Dynasty Analysis: McCaffrey isn't getting as much attention as he honestly should this year with Jonathan Taylor putting up career numbers. However, he's been as dominant as ever and consistently puts up monster numbers whenever he's healthy. The future Hall of Famer can't have his value really rise based on his age but he's the ultimate buy for a contending dynasty manager.

Dynasty | Patriots running back TreVeyon Henderson had 55 rushing yards, four catches and 32 receiving yards in a win against the Falcons. Dynasty Analysis: In the most frustrating of all fashions, Henderson saw Terrell Jennings siphon a rushing touchdown off his stat sheet this week. It was a decent week for Henderson with Rhamondre Stevenson out with an injury, but hardly the breakout so many dynasty managers hoped for. At this point, Henderson truly looks like a committee back and his ADP and ranking are going to continue to slide until they match that fully.

Dynasty | Panthers running back Rico Dowdle had 130 rushing yards, two catches, 11 receiving yards and two touchdowns in a win against the Packers. Dynasty Analysis: More importantly, Dowdle out-touched Chuba Hubbard 27-5. There's no way around this now - Dowdle has taken over the Panthers backfield and this isn't a timeshare, folks. With at least 130 rushing yards in three of his past five games, Dowdle has established himself as the engine of the Panthers offense. His emergence is creating a real quagmire in dynasty leagues as he looks like a potential league winner but is also on a one-year contract. Dynasty managers in the mix should look to add him but his future is really tough to predict beyond this season.

Dynasty | Saints quarterback Tyler Shough completed 15-of-24 passes for 176 yards with one touchdown and one interception in a loss to the Rams. Dynasty Analysis: Shough wasn't great for the now 1-8 Saints but he wasn't awful, either. The Rams just hammered New Orleans from the start and Shough didn't have much of a chance. Still, he looked a little better than Spencer Rattler had thus far, so that's something to build on. Shough will look to build on this one and attempt to establish himself as the future in New Orleans moving forward. His ADP and ranking are secure and won't move up or down much after this one.

Dynasty | Bears rookie running back Kyle Monangai ran for 176 yards and added three catches for 22 more yards in a win against the Bengals. Dynasty Analysis: Yes, the Bengals defense is terrible. However, Monangai stated a clear case to be the "1B" to D'Andre Swift's "1A" upon Swift's return. Repeatedly shedding defenders, Monangai was a freight train in his first NFL start and his ADP and rookie ranking will skyrocket as a result. This was just one game, but also a huge one in terms of his value.

Washington Commanders RB Jeremy McNichols carried the ball once for no gain in Week 9 against the Seattle Seahawks. He was not targeted in the passing game.

Las Vegas Raiders RB Raheem Mostert had one reception for 14 yards versus the Jacksonville Jaguars in Week 9. It was his only target, and he did not have a carry.

From TheHuddle

Cincinnati Bengals wide receiver Andrei Iosivas caught five of his seven targets for 66 yards and a touchdown in Sunday's thrilling 47-42 loss to the Chicago Bears. Iosivas has had a relatively quiet season as the Bengals' WR3, but has played a role in the offense over the last five weeks with at least three targets in each of those games. The 26-year-old didn't catch any of his three targets in last week's loss to the Jets, but recorded a similar five-catch for 82 yards on seven targets performance in Week 5 against the Lions when Jake Browning was still the starter. Iosivas has also notched at least one reception in all but one game this season. The Bengals' offense has been humming with 41-year-old Joe Flacco as the starter, and on days like Sunday when Flacco attempts 47 passes, there will be opportunities for Iosivas to make plays.

Pittsburgh Steelers running back Jaylen Warren handled 16 carries for 31 yards and two touchdowns while adding two catches for minus-two yards in Sunday's win over the Indianapolis Colts. Warren found the end zone twice on the day for the first time in his career, but was bottled up on his touches otherwise. The 16 carries were also tied for the second most Warren had ever had in a game, but it was one of his most inefficient outings as the Colts' run defense shut off rushing lanes. The 27-year-old has established himself as the Steelers' workhorse and a focal point of their offense. Aaron Rodgers frequently looks for him on checkdowns, where Warren is electric after the catch. Warren should continue to project as a high-end RB2 for fantasy in the coming weeks.

Indianapolis Colts wide receiver Michael Pittman Jr. caught nine of his 12 targets for 115 yards in Sunday's 27-20 loss at the Pittsburgh Steelers. The Colts' offense was out of sync the entire game, committing a back-breaking six turnovers and averaging a season-low 5.0 yards per play. Pittman benefited from a rare negative game script from the Colts; however, with a season high in receptions, yards, and targets. The 28-year-old has been an integral piece to Indianapolis' historic offense and has bounced back in a big way from his injury-riddled 2024 season. Pittman has caught 52 of 68 targets for 561 yards and six touchdowns in eight games this season. The Colts' WR1 continues to be a draft-day bargain and should remain a high-end fantasy producer for the remainder of the season.

Seattle Seahawks wide receiver Jaxon Smith-Njigba caught eight of his nine targets for 129 yards in Sunday night's 38-14 win over the Washington Commanders. Smith-Njigba continues his historic season with his fourth straight game recording at least 120 receiving yards. The 23-year-old superstar joined Hall of Famer Isaac Bruce as the only players under age 25 with 900 or more receiving yards in the first eight games of a season. His connection with quarterback Sam Darnold has been lethal and has helped lead the Seattle Seahawks to a 6-2 record. Seattle's passing volume is not high, but JSN has consolidated all of the targets and has fully ascended to superstar status. Smith-Njigba will remain a top-three fantasy option in Week 10 against the Arizona Cardinals.

Seattle Seahawks rookie wide receiver Tory Horton hauled in all four of his targets for 48 yards and two touchdowns in Sunday night's blowout win against the Washington Commanders. Horton scored the first two touchdowns of the night for Seattle, giving him five now on the season and tying Tampa Bay Buccaneers' rookie wideout Emeka Egbuka for the most among first-year receivers. The rookie out of Colorado State took advantage of his opportunities with multiple other Seattle wide receivers sidelined for this matchup against Washington's poor defense. Horton looks like a legitimate flex option moving forward if Cooper Kupp (heel, hamstring) were to miss any more time.
