Szmyt nailed his third attempt, a 51-yarder to send the game into overtime. He has attempted at least three field goals in three of his past four games. Both of his misses, however, have come in the past month. Cleveland’s hit-or-miss offense makes Szmyt a risky fantasy option, but he’s hanging around the top-12 halfway through the 2026 season.09 November 2026
It was business as usual for Olave, who has seen at least 10 targets in 6-of-8 games this year. He earned an astounding 38 percent target share today, and his 229 air yards are the second-most of the week, pending the two remaining games. The return of No. 8 overall pick Jorydn Tyson had no impact on his role, though Tyson was limited to 16 routes in his NFL debut. Tyson should see more work next week, but that will primarily come at the expense of Devaughn Vele. Olave will remain in the WR1 mi ...09 November 2026
Mayer was second on the team in pass routes behind Brock Bowers. He nearly had not one, but two touchdown catches on the day. Mayer had the ball knocked out of his hand as he reached for the goal line in the first half, and was called for pass interference on a short touchdown reception in the fourth quarter. It was a tough luck day for the Raiders’ TE2. With 15 receptions over the past three games coming into Week 9, Mayer is usable in deeper formats going forward. He gets the Seahawks in We ...

Christian McCaffrey, meanwhile, had 18 rushes on the day and scored two touchdowns. Black had just five pass routes against the Raiders while CMC ran 28 routes. Black’s 70 rushing yards marks a season high and shows he can be a fantasy factor when the Niners have game script in their favor. It didn’t help that he faced an abysmal Raiders front seven. Black should have some flex viability in deeper leagues next week against the Cowboys.09 November 2026
Robinson was back from his ankle injury, though the CBS broadcast mentioned Robinson was only about 50 percent back from the ankle issue. He logged a pass route on 21 of the team’s 36 drop backs and was tied for second in targets. Jordan Watkins — who had a 37-yard score against Vegas — appears to be the Niners’ No. 1 wideout for now (with Mike Evans sidelined). Robinson can be rostered in deeper leagues.09 November 2026
Shough got off to a dreadfully slow start, throwing for a measly 156 scoreless yards over the first three quarters. The Browns weren’t pushing the Saints to play fast or pass often, resulting in a noticeable lack of volume for Shough. A 64-yard touchdown for the Browns in the middle of the fourth quarter finally forced the Saints to pick up the pace. Shough responded with a 55-yard touchdown drive two series later, though Audric Estime found the end zone on the ground. Shough eventually close ...09 November 2026
The fourth-round rookie finishes the year with 10 tackles, eight quarterback pressures and two sacks. Shanahan also told reporters that starting cornerbacks Renardo Green (back) and Deommodore Lenoir (foot) picked up injuries in today’s game against the Raiders. The defense has been hit hard by injuries this season. Hopefully, the cornerbacks are back before long.09 November 2026
Johnson split reps with Noah Fant and Oscar Delp once again. He had one catch headed into overtime but made the most of the extra drive with a game-winning touchdown grab. It was his first touchdown since Week 3. This was also his first multi-catch game since Week 5. With Jordyn Tyson set to take on a larger role in the coming weeks, Johnson’s days as a high-end TE2 appear to be over. Fantasy managers can do better off the waiver wire in Week 10.09 November 2026
The statuesque Cousins was under duress from start to finish, often falling back as he threw the ball into tight windows. That led to three picks, which should have been four or five picks if 49ers defenders had been a little more sure handed. As usual, Cousins targeted Brock Bowers relentlessly, once again connecting with the superstar tight end for a touchdown. He nearly threw a second touchdown to Bowers in the second half. Cousins also had a touchdown to Michael Mayer called back on an offe ...09 November 2026
Mitchell regularly rotated in and out as a member of the Chargers’ three-player backfield rotation, though he and Omarion Hampton remained far more involved than Kimani Vidal did in the second half. He looks spry as a rusher and receiver, ripping off double-digit gains in both facets of the game. Unfortunately, Mitchell’s biggest contribution was a fumble in enemy territory, which the Texans recovered inside the red zone. Mitchell is just a floor-based FLEX against his former Ravens team ne ...09 November 2026
Vidal was regularly involved early on, but logged just two offensive touches after being on the receiving end of a facemask penalty committed by a Texans defender on the Chargers’ fourth drive. Vidal did, however, remain involved on special teams all game long. He is off the FLEX radar against the Ravens next week.09 November 2026
Okonkwo’s seven targets tied Van Jefferson for the team high in this one. Okonkwo hauled in a 15-yard reception on the Commanders’ opening drive, and on the final play of the game, he caught a 16-yard pass and then tossed it to Rachaad White in hopes of keeping the play alive after time had already expired. Okonkwo has gone for 50-plus yards in three of his last four games and is seeing enough work in the passing game to be on the streaming radar for Week 10’s game against the Giants.09 November 2026
Tyson was activated from injured reserve over the weekend and made his NFL debut today. He got off to a nightmare start by fumbling his first career reception inside the five-yard line. The Saints didn’t go away from him after the rookie mistake and rotated him onto the field rather sporadically for the rest of the game. He was deployed as the team’s WR3, running 16 routes compared to 44 for Devaughn Vele. Those two numbers should converge in the coming weeks, but it might take some time fo ...09 November 2026
Justin Herbert gave Gadsden a chance to get going downfield early on, but the pass clanged off his hands. The incompletion may ultimately have been erased by a penalty. Herbert looked his way again later, on the Chargers’ late two-point conversion attempt, but it failed. Charlie Kolar, meanwhile, caught 3-of-3 targets for 31 yards and rushed once for three yards. Neither player needs to be rostered in 12-team formats.09 November 2026
Watkins’ big day was capped off by a second half 37-yard touchdown grab on a perfectly placed ball from Brock Purdy. Watkins, who had 56 yards on three receptions in Week 7, functioned as the Niners’ top wideout with Mike Evans (Achilles) out. Watkins led the Niners in pass routes against a lousy Raiders secondary. He’ll be in play as a WR3 option in Week 10 against the Cowboys if Evans remains sidelined.09 November 2026
Being this inefficient ain’t easy. Trainers examined Harris’ lower left leg after an eighth-drive incompletion in which Harris twisted as he unsuccessfully tried to high-point a pass and came down hard on his feet. Harris does not need to be in fantasy football lineups against the Ravens next week.09 November 2026
Uiagalelei entered the game in the fourth quarter after Justin Herbert suffered what coach Jim Harbaugh said could be a fracture in his left, non-throwing hand. Uiagalelei linked up with Derius Davis for a 15-yard score late in the game. Both players did a good job on the scoring sequence. Uiagalelei will be a QB3 against the Ravens if he gets the start next week.09 November 2026
Chargers coach Jim Harbaugh told reporters last Thursday that Omarion Hampton would get more touches. Surprise. The Chargers continued their three-player backfield rotation for much of the day, though Kimani Vidal was somewhat phased out in the second half. That said, Hampton at least totaled double-digit rushing attempts for the first time since Week 5. He clearly looked like the most powerful, explosive Chargers running back on a 32-yard run late in the game, jump-cutting his way into an open ...09 November 2026
Marks was able to earn four targets in this one, but he caught only one of them. He was heavily involved as a rusher, regularly churning out short-to-intermediate ground gains, but without steady receiving production, he is stuck in the low-end RB2 tier with touchdown-dependent upside. He will qualify as such next week against the Browns if David Montgomery (groin) remains sidelined.
