Kyler Murray (ankle) is officially inactive for Week 9.

Murray had indicated that he wanted to play today, but this is a situation similar to the Dak Prescott one last Sunday night, where Murray is being rested as to not risk further injury. This is a long-term move, and Colt McCoy will start against the Niners. Hopefully Murray can return to the lineup next week versus the Panthers.

Trevor Lawrence (ankle) is returning for the Jaguars.

Lawrence emerged from the locker room with his helmet on, and he’s warming up and running around on the sidelines and appears set to go back in late in the first half. The Jaguars are in a 6-6 tie with the Bills, and it’s great to see the No. 1 overall pick is OK after he was rolled up on earlier.

Trevor Lawrence heads to the locker room.

Lawrence suffered an apparent ankle injury after getting his leg rolled up on. He was down on the field in obvious pain/discomfort and is now headed to the locker room. It’s toward the end of the first half, so hopefully we see Lawrence back when the second half begins. We should get an update on his status soon.

Kenny Golladay (knee) is officially active for Week 9.

After missing three games, Golladay is back in the lineup for the Giants against the Raiders. There’s some risk immediately using him in fantasy lineups, but the high-priced free-agent acquisition has touchdown upside.

Sam Darnold (shoulder) is officially active for the Panthers.

Darnold cleared concussion protocol already, and the shoulder became the issue that might keep him out for Week 9 against the Patriots. He is active at less than 100% health, making him a very risky fantasy play in a difficult matchup. We might still see P.J. Walker if Darnold struggles.

Rashod Bateman (groin) is officially active for Week 9.

A groin issue popped up again for Bateman, but the rookie receiver is OK to play against the Vikings. Still, it’s a little more difficult to trust Bateman in fantasy lineups with this minor ailment he’s now dealing with.

Sammy Watkins (thigh) is officially inactive for the Ravens.

We thought there was a chance Watkins would be able to return today, but the Ravens are holding him out another week following the bye. This news should give a boost to Rashod Bateman’s outlook as a FLEX option against Minnesota.
