Answering ALL Fantasy Football Questions (Injury Updates)

Jones is ranked below Kamar in a start/sit decision.

The source recommends Adonai Mitchell in a start/sit decision over Mason Casey and Casey Conception. With Garrett Wilson out, Mitchell is expected to receive safe target volume from a trailing team.

Positioned as the primary receiver and goal-line back for the Saints with Kendrick Miller cut and Audrey Estime taking over the secondary back role. The source projects Kamara at 14 points on Yahoo and strongly prefers him over Breece Hall and Braelon Allen in start/sit decisions. The source states 'Alvin Kamar is going to be one the one that is used as a receiver. He's going to be the one at the goal line' and 'Alvin Kamara is getting like the secure touches at the goal line. Like I would assume Kamar is getting the high value opportunities here.' The source recommends moving Kamara up in rankings given the backfield changes, despite having cut him earlier in the season.

St. Brown has been cleared to play despite being questionable and banged up at practice; he is expected to be available for upcoming games and is recommended as a starting wide receiver for the week.

Flock Fantasy recommends Blake Corum as a flex start in a strong running back room; he is listed as running back four on a roster with Jamir Gibbs and Chase Brown, indicating he has depth chart value and is an easy start in a double flex format.

Braelon Allen looked good and is suggested as a flex option that guarantees every single point in the New York Jets backfield. However, with Breece Hall returning, Allen is expected to split the backfield and is likely a first and second-down runner in a negative game environment (Jets 9.5-point underdogs vs. Kansas City), making him an easy fade compared to alternatives like Alvin Kamara. The source expresses hesitation about playing both Jets running backs when the team is a 9.5-point underdog.

Breece Hall is listed as an easy start at running back. Returning from injury, he is expected to split the backfield with Braelon Allen, with Hall drawing the receiving work. However, against Kansas City (Jets 9.5-point underdogs), the source prefers Alvin Kamara over Hall in start/sit decisions, indicating a matchup concern despite Hall's favorable role.

Placed on injured reserve; the source dropped him from their fantasy roster after the IR designation, setting waiver claims to replace him with other options.

Flock Fantasy believes Chase Brown will be a very good fantasy asset; he has seen a ridiculous amount of volume, especially as a receiver, and plays in a very good offense, making him an excellent running back two behind Jamir Gibbs in a strong backfield.

Rostered as a backup pivot option in case Mecole Hardman did not play; the source used Godwin as injury insurance and was prepared to start him if Hardman was ruled out.

In a full PPR start/sit decision against T. Higgins, Flock Fantasy prefers Higgins despite starting Watson on their own team, expressing hope they are wrong about the decision. This suggests concern about Watson's performance or role relative to Higgins.

DJ Moore faces a poor matchup against the Minnesota Vikings defense. The source prefers Jameson Williams over Moore for this week despite Williams being a sell-high candidate, indicating the matchup concern outweighs Moore's baseline value.

DeAndre Swift is listed as an auto-start in the flex position; the source groups him with Kenneth Walker and Chase Brown as players with strong start recommendations for the week.

Dak Prescott versus the Colts is the preferred start over Jared Goff versus Miami in a close matchup decision. Both quarterbacks have similar profiles with passing volume but no rushing upside; however, Prescott gets the edge in this specific week's matchup.

The source believes there is a 0.0% chance Baltimore trades Derrick Henry despite Lamar Jackson's injury, indicating the team remains committed to winning and will continue to rely on Henry as a core piece of their offense. In a 10-team start-seven format, the source prefers keeping Derrick Henry over trading him for Jonah Coleman and DK Metcalf; despite Henry's ugly recent performance, the source expects the offense to improve with Brassette's return.

Devin Singleary is preferred over Sikquan this week; the Giants are 3-point favorites and Singleary is guaranteed heavy volume with both Scat and Tyrone Tracy out, making him a high-floor play. Singleary is recommended as one of two guaranteed volume plays to start, alongside Ali, in a decision to start two of three players.

Devin Singletary is positioned as a strong flex option with guaranteed carries and target volume. With both Saquon Barkley and Tyron Tracy on IR, Singletary is expected to receive all available offensive touches in the Eagles backfield.

In a 10-team start-seven format, DK Metcalf is considered close to zero in value. The source does not love a trade that brings in Metcalf and Jonah Coleman for Derrick Henry and Boston, and identifies him as a potential trade piece to package with Tyler Warren in a two-for-one deal to upgrade to elite tight ends like Isaiah Likely, George Kittle, Jalen Bowers, or Trey McBride.

Garrett Wilson is out with a concussion, which impacts the target distribution for Jets receivers and opens up receiving opportunities for teammates like Adonai Mitchell and Omar Cooper.

George Kittle is identified as an elite tight end target worth pursuing in trades. The source would recommend a two-for-one deal sending DK Metcalf and Tyler Warren to acquire Kittle, calling such an upgrade an absolute no-brainer.

Harold Fannon is healthy and competing for targets with Casey Conception in the Jets offense, creating competition for receiving volume.

Isaiah Likely is identified as an elite tight end target worth pursuing in trades. The source would recommend a two-for-one deal sending DK Metcalf and Tyler Warren to acquire Likely, calling such an upgrade an absolute no-brainer.

The source sent JK Dobbins straight to the bench, indicating reduced role or usage in the backfield.

The source advises against trading away Gibbs, characterizing him as a player you should hold; a proposed trade where Gibbs would be downtiered to Chase Brown is not recommended, suggesting Gibbs retains significant value and should not be moved lightly despite the trade appearing to upgrade other roster positions.

Jaylen Coker is recommended as the best performer so far this season over Jordan Addison and Omar Cooper. The source acknowledges preferring Ted McMillan but credits Coker with more target volume, making him the preferred flex option in this comparison.

James Cook is listed as a starting running back in the trade proposer's current lineup, indicating he holds a roster spot in a deeper league format.

Jameson Williams is flagged as a sell-high candidate despite strong recent performance over the past month. The source traded him away this week due to concerns that his touchdown efficiency cannot be sustained. However, he is still preferred over DJ Moore given Moore's poor matchup against Minnesota.

Jared Goff versus Miami is considered a close call with Dak Prescott versus the Colts, but the source slightly prefers Prescott. Both quarterbacks have similar profiles with passing volume but no rushing upside.

Waddle has been disappointing this season with only one game exceeding 50 receiving yards, making him a less attractive flex option despite his talent. However, he is an auto-start in flex over Seattle running backs, which the source notes 'haven't proven to be much,' and the source probably would start Waddle over Igbuka in a flex decision, suggesting he has matchup-dependent upside.

Strong flex play with excellent matchup against Carolina Panthers; Coleman is going to get everything as a receiver in this backfield. The source absolutely loves having Jonah Coleman as a running back three in a double flex league format, indicating strong confidence in his depth chart role and fantasy utility. Coleman is an auto-start in flex; the source also notes Ollie Gordon has a great matchup and would love to get him in as well. Coleman has the better matchup in a comparison with Rondre Stevenson; both are described as incredible plays against Detroit.

Jonathan Taylor is clearly ranked below Javvante and Matthew Golden in a trade/comparison decision. The source expresses surprise that Taylor is even playing and thought he would be traded or benched before this matchup.

The source is a self-described Jordan Tyson fanboy and is very excited to see what Tyson brings to the Saints offense in his first week. However, snap count is highly uncertain—he may play only 10 snaps and be an absolute zero. The source would not start him this week due to snap count uncertainty but views him as a swing-for-the-fences flex option with uncapped ceiling upside going forward. He is projected to score one or two touchdowns in upcoming matchups, and the source prefers him over Devon Vele and Mike Washington in start/sit decisions despite his very low floor.

The source expresses significant hesitation about acquiring Justin Jefferson in a trade, citing Minnesota's poor recent performance. Despite owning Jefferson on another team, the source questions whether Jefferson is preferable to Chris Avery at this point and doubts the wisdom of trading for him given Minnesota's struggles.

Kenneth Walker is listed as an auto-start at running back; the source groups him with Chase Brown and DeAndre Swift as players with strong start recommendations for the week.

Kirk Cousins is leading the NFL in passing touchdowns and is ranked higher in rest-of-season rankings than Malik Willis. While Willis has the better weekly matchup against Detroit with more rushing upside and the Dolphins projecting to score more points than the Raiders, Cousins' superior overall performance makes him a defensible start option if preferred.

Kyle Pitts has significantly better projected performance than Dalton Goedert this week, with better projections for receptions, yards, and touchdown odds. The source would not fault someone for starting Pitts over Goedert in this matchup.

Out 6–9 weeks with a fractured dislocated thumb; former MVP has vowed to return assuming Baltimore stays alive. However, even if Lamar returns for the real-life playoffs, fantasy football will be done by that point, making his injury timeline irrelevant for fantasy purposes.

Clear wide receiver play with no viable alternatives; the source states 'you're going to play Luther Burden. I mean, there's no world in which you would consider like Mai Lemon or Marv here. Luther Burden's just been too good,' indicating Burden is the consensus start at the position.

Malik Willis is the recommended start this week over Kirk Cousins despite Cousins being significantly better overall and leading the NFL in passing touchdowns. Willis offers more rushing upside, and the Dolphins project to score more points than the Raiders this week. Willis gets the best matchup imaginable against the Detroit Lions, making him the optimal play for this specific week despite Cousins ranking higher in rest-of-season projections.

Golden is clearly preferred over Jonathan Taylor in a trade/comparison decision, representing better value going forward.

Michael Wilson faces a really tough matchup this week. Despite being a much better player than Rashad White, the source recommends him as a flex play only because of his talent advantage, not because of favorable conditions. He is presented as a secondary flex option if Zay Flowers was not started, indicating the matchup concern makes him less preferred than other available options.

The source suggests trading Jaylen Waddle for Mike Evans if Evans can be placed on injured reserve, noting that a 7-1 team can sacrifice short-term production for long-term upside with an injured player. This indicates Evans has playoff upside value despite current injury status. Evans is currently out, which explains why the trade proposer is flexing lower-tier options.

The source strongly advises against starting Mike Washington. Despite 25 carries in a recent game, he scored only 8 fantasy points and has just 11 receiving yards across 8 games played this season, with only one game reaching 10+ points all season. The source states 'no way in hell' he would start Washington unless Gentry goes down, even though the team is a 9.5-point underdog. His ceiling is severely capped and floor is very low, with the possibility he could be the straight-up backup running back.

Cooper is in play as a startable wide receiver option this week due to Garrett Wilson being out with a concussion, creating additional receiving opportunities. The source noted he would be startable this week and expressed reluctance to drop him despite needing to open a roster spot, indicating he has flex value despite being a clear second choice to Stefon Diggs.

Parker Washington is listed as a starting wide receiver in the trade proposer's current lineup, indicating he holds a roster spot in a deeper league format.

Saquon Barkley represents a clear upgrade over Jerian Price in trade discussions. The source identifies moving from Price to Barkley as a tier improvement at running back.

Diggs received a significant bump up with Terry McLaurin out for the season, increasing his target volume and role in the Commanders offense; he is the clear choice over Omar Cooper in a start/sit decision despite Cooper being in play due to Garrett Wilson being out with a concussion.

Delayed return from hamstring injury; originally expected to return in week 9 but remains sidelined. The source explains 'Travis ETN had gotten injured back in week three. Then they labeled him week to week with the hamstring. And then then then they put him on the IR so he had to miss four games but he missed weeks four, five, six, seven, then had the week eight buy. I thought we were getting back Travis CTN in week nine. Sadly ends up not being the case.' The source needs Etienne back for weeks 10 and 11 due to upcoming bye weeks, creating urgency around his return timeline.

Trey McBride is identified as an elite tight end target worth pursuing in trades. The source would recommend trading Nico Collins and Tyler Warren to upgrade to McBride or Jalen Bowers.

Flock Fantasy recommends starting Tyler Warren over TJ Hawkinson in flex despite both having good matchups; the source expresses concern that Hawkinson may be the only player that gets hurt in Minnesota at the transition to Carson Wentz, making Warren the safer play.

Over the past three weeks without David Montgomery, Marks has averaged 20 opportunities per game. Flock Fantasy prefers Marks over Singleary in a start/sit decision, citing his high volume.

Zay Flowers is assumed to be a start at wide receiver and presented as a preferred flex option over Michael Wilson, who faces a tough matchup; the source indicates Flowers is the priority play with a favorable matchup comparison.
