Chris Herndon (hamstring) is questionable for Week 9.

Herndon has yet to play in 2019, but hopefully Sunday will finally be his debut in Adam Gase’s offense. New York’s head coach referred to him as a “unicorn” earlier this year, so Herndon would probably be an immediate TE1 option if he plays against Miami.

Ryan Izzo (concussion) is questionable for Week 9.

Izzo not being ruled out already puts him in a better position than last week, but even if he’s cleared, he won’t be a recommended play behind Benjamin Watson.

Matt LaCosse (knee) is questionable for Sunday night.

LaCosse has been on the shelf for nearly a month, so even if he returns, it will likely be as a secondary option to Benjamin Watson at tight end. Fantasy owners should probably be looking elsewhere for a streaming play.

James White (toe) is listed as questionable for Week 9.

White popped up on the injury report with a toe injury, so hopefully we hear more over the next couple days with New England playing on Sunday night. For now, fantasy owners can probably count on having him in lineups, but it wouldn’t be a bad idea to keep some replacement options in mind.

Marquise Brown (ankle/thigh) is officially listed as questionable for Sunday night.

Brown was expected to return to the lineup coming off the bye, but a missed practice today with an issue that’s now also being called a thigh in addition to the ankle puts his status in some doubt. Ravens head coach John Harbaugh did say that he expects the dynamic rookie receiver to play barring something unforeseen, though, and Baltimore might just be managing his practice reps. If you want to use Brown in your Week 9 fantasy lineup against the Patriots, just be sure to have a backup plan from the Sunday night or Monday night game.

Rex Burkhead (foot) is questionable for Week 9.

Burkhead is expected to suit up after playing last week, but he won’t be a highly recommended fantasy option behind Sony Michel and James White. The 29-year-old handled four touches last week against the Browns.

Julian Edelman (chest/shoulder) is questionable for Week 9.

Edelman is fully expected to play on Sunday night, and the matchup could be more difficult than imagined with Jimmy Smith back to join Marlon Humphrey and Marcus Peters in the Baltimore secondary. Still, consider the veteran a WR1/WR2 play.
