Marcedes Lewis makes first catch as a Packer in Week 9 loss.

Lewis was able to bring in his lone target for five yards against New England. The 34-year-old isn’t on the fantasy radar despite catching five touchdowns in 2017 with Jacksonville.

Derrick Henry scores in Titans’ Week 9 win.

Henry carried six times for 27 yards and a touchdown and added two receptions for five yards against the Cowboys. The touchdown came at the goal line, which helped make it a solid day for fantasy owners that inserted Henry into fantasy lineups. However, the usage is an obvious concern after an ESPN report stated Henry was available ahead of last week’s trade deadline. Clearly, the team currently views Dion Lewis (23 touches tonight) as the top option in their backfield despite Henry’s ability. At the midway point in the season, the former Heisman winner is on pace for 180 carries, 600 rushing yards, two rushing touchdowns, 16 receptions, and 108 receiving yards. The numbers aren’t pretty, but the Titans have surprisingly not blocked well for much of this season, and Henry isn’t getting many opportunities to put games away late.

Travis Benjamin gets one offensive touch in Chargers’ win.

Benjamin had one carry for -2 yards against the Seahawks. The speedy receiver is a valuable member of the Chargers offense, but he’s difficult to trust in fantasy lineups as the team’s fourth receiver right now.

Amari Cooper scores in Cowboys debut.

Cooper caught five passes for 58 yards on a team-high eight targets, with the highlight coming on a whip route from four yards out in the first quarter to beat Malcolm Butler for six. The former first-round pick didn’t make any mistakes, as he caught a couple contested passes over the middle and looked determined to play well for his new team. However, it didn’t lead to a victory, and Dallas now faces a potential season-ender next Sunday night in Philadelphia; they would be wise to feature Cooper against a beatable secondary, but he’s just a volatile FLEX option for Week 10.

Equanimeous St. Brown caught one pass in Sunday night’s loss to the Patriots.

It went for four yards. St. Brown had a couple downfield opportunities, but unlike fellow rookie Marquez Valdes-Scantling, he couldn’t come away with them. The Notre Dame product doesn’t have a big enough role to be considered in redraft leagues as the team’s No. 4 or No. 5 receiver.

Ezekiel Elliott handles 21 touches in loss to the Titans.

Elliott rushed 17 times for 61 yards and caught four-of-five targets for 51 yards. It was a close game throughout despite the 28-14 final score, but Dallas probably didn’t give Zeke enough touches, particularly late in the game. At the season’s midway point, Elliott is on pace for 1,360 yards and just six touchdowns on the ground with a 58/452/2 pace as a receiver. He remains an RB1 the rest of the way, but it will be the low-end variety for Week 10 in Philadelphia.

Austin Ekeler gets four touches in Week 9.

Ekeler carried three times for 21 yards and caught one pass for 13 yards versus Seattle. Ekeler played well, but Melvin Gordon stepped back into the lineup after missing one game and received most of the backfield work for the Chargers. At the midway point in the season, the second-year running back is on pace for 112 caries, 652 rushing yards, 40 receptions, 492 receiving yards, and six receiving touchdowns. He offers some upside in fantasy lineups against the Raiders next Sunday.
