Quarterbacks: 

Sam Darnold, Panthers:  Suffered a concussion but is practicing on a limited basis and is expected to play.   

Jameis Winston, Saints:  Tore his ACL and is lost for the season.  Taysom Hill or Trevor Siemian will be named the starter in his place.   

Aaron Rodgers, Packers:  Tested positive for COVID and will miss Week 9.  Jordan Love will start.   

 

Running backs: 

James Robinson, Jaguars:  Left with a heel injury and is questionable for Week 9.  Carlos Hyde would take the majority of the snaps if Robinson is out.   

Elijah Mitchell, 49ers:  Suffered rib injuries and is questionable for Week 9.  Trey Sermon would get a bump if Michell misses time.   

Derrick Henry, Titans:  Suffered a foot injury that will require surgery, likely ending his fantasy season.  Jeremy McNichols will take over as the featured back.   

 

Wide Receivers: 

Sterling Shepard, Giants:  Left with a quad injury and will likely miss at least one game.  Kadarius Toney should be the largest beneficiary.   

 

Tight Ends: 

Noah Fant, Broncos:  Tested positive for COVID and is questionable for Week 9.  Albert Okwuegbunam is the next TE on deck.
