Week 9 Fantasy Football News and Injuries (2026): Nacua and Jacobs

Editor's take, Michael Walsh

Week 9 gave us a pretty good reminder that one big performance doesn't automatically fix a player's outlook, and one bad game doesn't necessarily mean it's time to move on. At this point, I'm paying a lot more attention to how players are being used than what their final fantasy score looks like.

Take Chase Brown. Cincinnati's passing game is rolling, but Brown had just nine carries against Atlanta, with Samaje Perine getting 11. I've been concerned about Brown for a few weeks now, and I'm not seeing much reason to change that opinion. Being attached to a good offense doesn't guarantee a good fantasy role.

I'm also not convinced there's a quick fix coming for the Chargers. Nine points last week, another rough outing against Houston, and now Justin Herbert is dealing with a finger injury. Ladd McConkey's last-minute back issue was brutal for anyone who started him. That's an offense I'm struggling to trust in any matchup.

On the other hand, C.J. Stroud throwing five touchdowns is a good reminder that situations can turn around quickly. I'm more interested in whether Houston can build on that than chasing every receiver who happened to score this week.

One development I'm watching closely is Minnesota bringing Kirk Cousins back. Justin Jefferson hasn't been the automatic fantasy advantage managers drafted him to be, but a familiar quarterback could make a real difference for that whole passing game.

And yes, we need to talk about my Packers. Putting up 45 on New England, with Jordan Love throwing for 372 yards and three touchdowns, felt pretty damn good. After some frustrating weeks, that's the version of this offense I've been waiting to see.

With the NFL trade deadline behind us and fantasy deadlines getting closer, don't make moves just to make moves. But if you've been waiting nine weeks for a player's role to improve, you might be running out of time.

On to Week 10. GO PACK GO!

Week 9, part 1 of 6

Week 9 in numbers: Stroud by a tenth, one upset and 12 points left on the bench

C.J. Stroud had the week's best line at 36.4 PPR points, five touchdown passes and 384 yards in a 44 to 22 win over the Chargers, and he won it by a tenth of a point over Jordan Love, who threw for 372 yards and three touchdowns and ran for a fourth in Foxborough. Kenneth Walker III led the running backs with 36.3 on three touchdowns, Puka Nacua the receivers with 35.0 on 19 targets, and Darren Waller the tight ends with 23.0.

The market had a calm week. Green Bay was the only underdog to win outright, at +160, and the same game was the shootout: 72 points against a closing total of 44.5. Favorites covered in 11 of 15 games and seven games went over. Across 156 teams in 11 leagues synced to FF Beacon, managers left 12.3 points a team on the bench, and 15 of them lost a game their own bench would have won. The costliest single call was Brock Purdy on a bench behind Kyler Murray, a 26.3-point swing.

Tyler Shough threw a 15-yard touchdown to Juwan Johnson, Sanders found Harold Fannin Jr. for a 39-yard score with a minute left, and Todd Monken went for the win; the conversion failed. Sanders scored 22.7 PPR points in his first start, and the Browns covered the 4.5-point line.

PPR points from the week's box scores. Projected is the Sleeper projection published for week 9, before any FF Beacon adjustment. Value moves are Dynasty PPR SF on FF Beacon and Redraft 1QB PPR on FF Beacon, from the last value on or before 2026-11-03 to the last on or before 2026-11-10.

Computed Nov 11, 2026, 8:03 AM EST. Finals are derived from the two team-defense stat lines of each game. Lines are the closing numbers DraftKings posted, as ESPN reports them; the implied team totals are the closing total split by the closing spread.

Week 9, part 3 of 6

How the projections did: high at quarterback, even everywhere else

The Sleeper projection ran slightly high in week 9: 121 of 261 graded players beat it, 46 percent, and the average miss was 4.6 PPR points. Quarterbacks were the problem. Only 10 of 30 beat their number, the average quarterback fell 1.7 points short, and the misses were large, 6.5 points on average. Receivers and tight ends landed close to even, at 50 and 52 percent.

The season lists are the part to use. Jonah Coleman has beaten his projection in all four graded games, by 6.1 points on average, and Adonai Mitchell in all three of his. Baker Mayfield has fallen short in all six graded games by 7.3 points a game, the longest miss streak on the list, and Carson Wentz missed by 12.6 a game in his two graded games.

How the Sleeper projection did in week 9

46 percent of graded players beat it overall, and only a third of quarterbacks did.

QB33% beat it, 10 of 30; average miss 6.5 points; lean -1.7
RB43% beat it, 30 of 70; average miss 4.3 points; lean -1
WR50% beat it, 53 of 107; average miss 4.7 points; lean +0.9
TE52% beat it, 28 of 54; average miss 3.5 points; lean 0
All46% beat it, 121 of 261; average miss 4.6 points; lean -0.1, all four positions

The line in each bar is 50 percent. Lean is actual minus projected on average: above zero means the projection ran low.

Season: beat it most reliably

Computed Nov 11, 2026, 8:03 AM EST. Graded against the Sleeper projection published for each week, in PPR, before any FF Beacon adjustment. A graded game is one where a projection above zero was published and the player took the field. Mean error is actual minus projected: above zero means the projection ran low. Season lists need 2 graded games; the reliable list counts players projected for 6 or more a game and the laggard list 8 or more.

Week 9, part 4 of 6

Injuries and availability: Nacua, Jacobs and three quarterback rooms

The timeline below places every reported absence by its expected return; this week almost nobody has a stated one, so most of the list sits under it. One line per player who matters for fantasy, dynasty first and redraft second:

Puka Nacua: MCL and PCL sprains plus turf toe, likely headed to injured reserve and out at least four games. Dynasty PPR SF value down 222 to 8,931, Redraft 1QB PPR down 1,429 to 7,286. Hold in dynasty; in redraft, an injured reserve slot and a month of patience.
Josh Jacobs: surgery on a fractured ring finger; CBS Sports reports a maximum of three weeks, and Matt LaFleur did not rule out injured reserve. Redraft value down 227 to 4,094. Kaleb Johnson ran 14 times for 68 yards and a touchdown in his place.
Sam Darnold: ruled out for week 10 with the quad and a cracked rib, week to week but not on injured reserve. Drew Lock starts again after tests on his oblique came back good; the model projects him for 16.2 points at Las Vegas.
Kyler Murray: hamstring, week to week, and the Vikings say injured reserve is not under consideration. Dynasty down 622, the fourth-biggest drop of the week. Carson Wentz started Monday and was replaced by Max Brosmer in the fourth quarter.
Patrick Mahomes: right elbow, day to day; an MRI showed no significant damage and he is expected to face Atlanta, projected for 18.6 points. Start him.
Lamar Jackson: on injured reserve after thumb surgery and telling teammates he plans to return later this season. Dynasty down 498 to 7,840; hold in dynasty, and in redraft he is a stash only for teams with an open injured reserve slot.
Luther Burden III: concussion on the hit that forced his late fumble, after 20.7 PPR points. His dynasty value rose 1,001 on the week, the third-biggest gain; the protocol decides week 10, not the market.
Michael Wilson: out for the season with a neck injury, after 12.0 PPR points at Seattle on a projection of zero. His Redraft 1QB PPR value of 4,334 is now a season-long zero: drop in redraft, hold for 2027 in dynasty.
Gardner Minshew II: a torn UCL, likely season-ending surgery; Arizona signed Josh Johnson and plans to start rookie Carson Beck against the Rams. No Arizona quarterback is a start in week 10.
Justin Herbert: testing on his left middle finger after eight sacks; he says it should not be an issue for Monday at Baltimore. Projected 13.8 with a 22 percent beat rate, a superflex start only.
Rhamondre Stevenson: knee tendon issue, reported on November 10 by Adam Schefter as not needing surgery but costing a short period; he left Sunday's game after 14.8 PPR points. TreVeyon Henderson remains out after a hospital stay with unexplained neurological symptoms and no timeline. Hold both; DeMario Douglas is the add below.
Week 9 absences with week 10 projections: Garrett Wilson (concussion, 14.3 against Buffalo), George Pickens (ruled out, 14.0 against San Francisco), A.J. Brown (ruled out, 13.5 against Detroit) and Cam Skattebo (inactive with the hamstring, 13.1 against Washington). Check Friday's reports.
Longer absences: Brian Robinson Jr. on injured reserve, Christian Kirk on injured reserve with a meniscus tear, Mike Evans out a second week with Achilles tendinitis, DeVonta Smith out with a hamstring, and Jalen Hurts on injured reserve with blood clots, likely for the season according to the AP.
IDP: Jack Campbell went on injured reserve with a neck injury, Kyle Hamilton left Thursday with a hip, Gracen Halton broke his ankle and is out for the season and Jaylen Watson needs season-ending shoulder surgery. Myles Garrett came off injured reserve and posted 36 points in Sleeper default IDP scoring with three sacks. No value source prices defensive players.

Who is expected back when

None of this week's absences came with a stated return week, so every name sits in the no-timeline list; Nacua's minimum is four games.

Week 9, part 5 of 6

Moves and role changes: Brissett, three new starters and the Taylor non-trade

Baltimore acquired Jacoby Brissett from Arizona. He debuts Monday against the Chargers, projected for 13.5 points with a 52 percent beat rate: a superflex start, and the end of the Joe Fagnano experiment after 60 passing yards on Thursday.
Shedeur Sanders made his first start of the season and scored 22.7 PPR points, but Deshaun Watson cleared the concussion protocol and starts against Houston, projected for 14.2. Sanders' dynasty value rose 462; hold him as a superflex stash.
Philadelphia benched Tanner McKee for Joe Milton, and Milton ran nine times for 64 yards in a 19 to 11 loss. McKee's dynasty value fell 528 to 287; Milton is a superflex flier until the Eagles say otherwise after their bye.
J.J. McCarthy suffered a hip pointer at Philadelphia but is expected to start Thursday against Washington; Jameis Winston threw the winning touchdown in relief.
Minnesota started Carson Wentz with Murray out, and Max Brosmer replaced him in the fourth quarter after Wentz went 8 of 25 for 81 yards. Neither is a fantasy start; Justin Jefferson caught 3 of 11 targets.
The Colts kept Jonathan Taylor through Tuesday's deadline after his farewell to the Indianapolis crowd on Sunday. His dynasty value fell 747 to 5,874 while his redraft value rose 14; he is still a Colt.
The Jets told teams they will not trade Breece Hall; he ran 15 times for 61 yards in his first game in five weeks, and the model projects 11.9 against Buffalo.
San Francisco reinstated Brandon Aiyuk after he reported for his physical. He has not played this season; a deep-league stash with Evans and Kirk out.
Activations: Denver activated Pat Bryant and he scored 15.6 on a 26-yard touchdown; New England activated Mack Hollins and he caught a touchdown for 12.6; New Orleans activated Jordyn Tyson, who scored 5.0 in his return.
Las Vegas took no trade calls on Kirk Cousins and plans to keep developing Fernando Mendoza behind him. Minnesota signed Odell Beckham Jr. for Monday night, a name rather than a fantasy factor.
IDP deadline deals: Jacksonville added Jessie Bates III from Atlanta, Jordan Davis from Philadelphia and Davon Godchaux from New Orleans; Detroit added Andre Cisco for a 2028 sixth-round pick from the Jets; and Will McDonald IV asked the Jets for a trade. No value source prices defensive players.

Week 9, part 6 of 6

What to do this week: claims, two superflex starts, a buy and a sell

Every call is tied to a report above and to a number on the site; the cards below link each one to the tool that runs it.

Claim DeMario Douglas in PPR leagues: 102 yards on nine targets with Stevenson hurt and Henderson out. Run the bid through the FAAB calculator.
Claim Tank Dell: 105 yards and a 63-yard touchdown on nine targets, and a redraft value up 330.
Claim Adonai Mitchell while Garrett Wilson works back from the concussion; he has beaten his projection in all three graded games.
Start Drew Lock in superflex at Las Vegas, projected for 16.2, and Jacoby Brissett against the Chargers at 13.5. Compare both with your flex in Who Should I Start.
Hold Nacua everywhere: the redraft market charged 1,429 for a month, the dynasty market 222.
Buy Jonathan Taylor in dynasty if the price reflects the 747-point drop: he stayed in Indianapolis and his redraft value barely moved. Check the offer in the trade calculator.
Sell Derrick Henry in dynasty to a contender that wants him: 5.6 PPR points on 17 carries without a quarterback beside him, and a Dynasty PPR SF value down 444 to 3,046 on the week.

Week 9, questions people ask

Questions people ask

How long is Puka Nacua out?

Sean McVay said on November 9 that Nacua is likely headed to injured reserve with MCL and PCL sprains, and the MRI also showed turf toe, so he misses at least four games. His Redraft 1QB PPR value fell 1,429 to 7,286 while his Dynasty PPR SF value fell only 222. He caught 14 of 19 targets for 150 yards before getting hurt on the final offensive snap.

Is Josh Jacobs going on IR?

Not yet. He needs surgery on a fractured right ring finger, Matt LaFleur did not rule out injured reserve, and CBS Sports reports a maximum of three weeks. Kaleb Johnson ran 14 times for 68 yards and a touchdown in his place against New England.

Who is the Seahawks quarterback in week 10?

Drew Lock. Mike Macdonald ruled Sam Darnold out for the Raiders game with quad and rib injuries, and said Lock's oblique tests were good. The model projects Lock for 16.2 points at Las Vegas, a superflex start.

Did the Colts trade Jonathan Taylor?

No. Indianapolis kept him through the November 10 deadline after turning down offers. His Dynasty PPR SF value fell 747 to 5,874 on the trade talk while his Redraft 1QB PPR value rose 14, and the model projects him for 17.9 points against Miami.
