Isaiah McKenzie fumbles punt in Week 8.

McKenzie fumbled a punt that Kansas City recovers, and then he later returned a punt and was hold the ball like a loaf of bread but thankfully held on. The rookie receiver didn’t catch his lone target on offense, and he’s off the fantasy radar right now—though he’s worth holding onto in dynasty leagues as a potential long-term deep threat for Denver.

Kareem Hunt gets 25 touches against the Broncos.

It was great to see the rookie get another big workload in this game, but Denver did a nice job of limiting him throughout the night. Hunt carried 22 times for 46 yards and added three receptions (on five targets) for 22 yards. With an easier matchup against the Cowboys in Week 9, you can feel great about keeping Hunt in your lineup as a great RB1 option. Through eight games in his first NFL season, Hunt is on pace for 292 carries, 1,526 rushing yards, eight rushing touchdowns, 56 receptions, 614 receiving yards, and four receiving touchdowns. That’d be over 2,100 total yards, and for perspective, Ezekiel Elliott did not reach 2,000 yards total yards as a rookie last season.

Nick Boyle (toe) is inactive today.

Boyle was listed as questionable and was said to be a game-time decision, but he’s not ready to play versus the Titans. Veteran tight end Benjamin Watson could be in line for more targets with Boyle out, but with Mike Wallace (concussion) back in the lineup, Joe Flacco could be targeting his wide receivers more this week.

Delanie Walker (ankle) is active for Week 9.

This is a great recovery from Walker, as it looked like he suffered a serious injury in Week 7 against the Browns; but he’s toughing it out and is not missing any games after the team’s Week 8 bye week. Walker’s presence is an upgrade for Marcus Mariota and the entire offense, but perhaps expectations should be tempered a bit if he’s less than 100%.

Demetrius Harris drops touchdown in Week 8.

The Chiefs were up and the game was pretty much in hand, but Harris got deep and dropped a perfect pass to the end zone from Alex Smith. Harris will continue to get time as the second tight end behind Travis Kelce, but his role isn’t big enough to be a reliable fantasy option.

Cole Beasley has a concussion.

Beasley appeared to have suffered a possible concussion in yesterday’s win over the Redskins, and Cowboys head coach Jason Garrett confirmed today that he has a concussion. He sounds optimistic that his slot receiver will be ready for this Sunday against the Chiefs, but rookie Ryan Switzer would probably step into his role if not.

Malcolm Brown sees career-high 15 touches in 51-17 win over the Giants.

Brown rushed 15 times for 57 yards, as he basically handled the clock-killing work with the Rams up big over New York. He doesn’t have standalone value behind Todd Gurley, but Brown is one of the top handcuffs as a potential lead back in Sean McVay’s offense.
