New England Patriots cornerback Christian Gonzalez (head) exited during the fourth quarter of Sunday's Week 9 contest against the Atlanta Falcons. He is officially listed as questionable to return. He had seven tackles and two passes defended at the time of his departure. The 23-year-old is regarded as one of the league's top cornerbacks, but he had a rough time covering Drake London on Sunday. Before Gonzalez left due to injury, London had tallied six catches, 75 yards, and two touchdowns while being covered by a combination of Gonzalez and Marcus Jones. Until Gonzalez can return, Jones and Carlton Davis III will operate as the Patriots' top cornerbacks.

Green Bay Packers tight end Tucker Kraft (knee) has been ruled out for the remainder of Sunday's Week 9 contest against the Carolina Panthers. He exited in the third quarter and was initially listed as questionable before being downgraded to out. Kraft finishes the game with just two catches for 20 yards. Green Bay entered this week without Dontayvion Wicks (calf) and lost both Kraft and Matthew Golden (shoulder) mid-game, leaving the Packers short-staffed as they try to mount a comeback against the Panthers. Christian Watson and Romeo Doubs will lead the receiving corps while Luke Musgrave steps up as the top tight end. Kraft will now have eight days to get healthy before the Packers' Week 10 contest against the Philadelphia Eagles on Monday Night Football.

Green Bay Packers wide receiver Matthew Golden (shoulder) has been ruled out for the remainder of Sunday's Week 9 contest against the Carolina Panthers. The rookie exited in the third quarter and was initially listed as questionable before being downgraded to out. Golden finishes the game with just two catches for nine yards. Green Bay entered this week without Dontayvion Wicks (calf) and lost both Golden and Tucker Kraft (knee) mid-game, leaving the Packers short-staffed as they try to mount a comeback against the Panthers. Christian Watson, Romeo Doubs, and Luke Musgrave will lead the receiving corps while Savion Williams and Malik Heath take on bigger depth roles. Golden will now have eight days to get healthy before the Packers' Week 10 contest against the Philadelphia Eagles on Monday Night Football.

Cincinnati Bengals running back Samaje Perine (ankle) has been ruled out for the remainder of Sunday's Week 9 contest against the Chicago Bears. He had initially been listed as doubtful before being downgraded to out. Perine exited in the second quarter with just five rushing yards on his stat line. Tahj Brooks will take over as the backup running back behind Chase Brown. With the Bengals on bye in Week 10, Perine will have 14 days to get healthy before his next game.

Minnesota Vikings running back Aaron Jones Sr. (shoulder) exited during the third quarter of Sunday's Week 9 contest against the Detroit Lions. He is officially listed as questionable to return. At the time of his departure, he had 78 rushing yards on nine carries, as well as two catches for an additional 20 receiving yards. The veteran running back missed some time earlier this season due to injury, so it's unfortunate to see him back on the sideline with a new ailment. Jones' absence should put Jordan Mason in the lead-back role, while Zavier Scott handles backup duties.

Chicago Bears tight end Cole Kmet (concussion) has been ruled out for the remainder of Sunday's Week 9 contest against the Cincinnati Bengals. He had initially been listed as questionable and entered concussion protocol before being downgraded to out. He finishes Sunday's game with just one catch for 10 yards. Kmet missed last week with a back injury, so it's safe to say the injury bug hasn't been doing him any favors lately. Colston Loveland will step up as the Bears' primary tight end in his absence. Kmet could be at risk of missing next Sunday's Week 10 clash with the New York Giants if he doesn't clear concussion protocol within seven days.

New Orleans Saints wide receiver Rashid Shaheed (hip) is officially active for Sunday's Week 9 contest against the Los Angeles Rams. He had been listed as questionable after practicing in a limited capacity this past week. Shaheed is a big-play threat who has looked solid in his role as the No. 2 receiver behind Chris Olave, despite New Orleans' offensive struggles this year. The 27-year-old ranks as the overall WR29 in PPR leagues with 39 catches, 431 receiving yards, and a pair of touchdowns. He had his best game of the season last week as he caught nine of 12 targets for 75 yards (plus a lost fumble). The Saints switched quarterbacks at halftime in Week 8, handing the offense from Spencer Rattler to Tyler Shough. Shough remains installed as the team's starter for Week 9, but it remains to be seen if or how the rookie can elevate Shaheed's game. For now, Shaheed continues to rank as a WR3/flex in most fantasy leagues.

Green Bay Packers wide receiver Matthew Golden (shoulder) exited during the third quarter of Sunday's Week 9 contest against the Carolina Panthers. He is officially listed as questionable to return. At the time of his departure, he had caught two of three targets for nine receiving yards. The rookie has been less productive than expected during his first NFL campaign, and now, his status is in doubt due to injury. Golden's absence could lead to more snaps for receivers such as Savion Williams and Malik Heath in a depth role behind Christian Watson and Romeo Doubs.

Minnesota Vikings RB Aaron Jones (shoulder) suffered a shoulder injury during the Week 9 game and is considered questionable to return.

Fantasy Spin: Fantasy players can look for an update on Jones in the near future. Jordan Mason will see most of the work at running back if Jones misses time and can be a No. 2 running back or flex option in fantasy leagues.

New England Patriots wide receiver Kayshon Boutte (hamstring) has been ruled out for the remainder of his team's Week 9 matchup against the Atlanta Falcons with a hamstring injury. The 23-year-old was targeted once and did not record a catch before being forced to exit the game. With Boutte unable to return, Patriots wide receivers Stefon Diggs, Mack Hollins, and DeMario Douglas could all see an uptick in targets. Additionally, rookie wideout Kyle Williams could be in line for increased playing time. Boutte's three-game touchdown streak, which he carried heading into the week, will come to an end due to his injury

Houston Texans quarterback C.J. Stroud (concussion) has been ruled out for the remainder of Sunday's Week 9 contest against the Denver Broncos. He was initially listed as questionable and entered concussion protocol before being downgraded to out. He finishes Sunday's game having completed six of 10 pass attempts for 79 passing yards, zero touchdowns, and zero interceptions. He also picked up 12 rushing yards. Davis Mills entered in his place and will remain the Texans' quarterback for the rest of Week 9. The Stanford product could also earn the start next week against the Jacksonville Jaguars if Stroud isn't able to clear concussion protocol within the next seven days.

New Orleans Saints running back Alvin Kamara (ankle) is officially active for Sunday's Week 9 contest against the Los Angeles Rams. He had been listed as questionable after logging a limited practice on Friday. The 30-year-old has been disappointing this season, amassing just 363 rushing yards, 147 receiving yards, and one touchdown through eight games. Even with Kendre Miller (knee) sidelined, Kamara hasn't been able to carve out a major role within New Orleans' offense. He'll likely continue to play around 60 percent of the snaps with roughly a dozen touches against the Rams. His pass-catching skills give him low-end RB2 appeal in PPR leagues, but for the most part, he should be deployed as an RB3/flex.

The Buffalo Bills have declared CB Taron Johnson, CB Brandon Codrington, OT Chase Lundt, WR Joshua Palmer, DE Landon Jackson, DT DaQuan Jones and LB Shaq Thompson inactive for Week 9.

Green Bay Packers tight end Tucker Kraft (knee) is questionable to return to his team's Week 9 matchup against the Carolina Panthers due to a knee injury, per ESPN's Adam Schefter. Kraft recorded two catches for 20 yards on three targets before getting injured. The 24-year-old entered Week 9 on a three-game touchdown streak, which now appears to be in jeopardy. If Kraft is unable to return, John FitzPatrick and Luke Musgrave are next in line to handle Green Bay's tight end snaps for the remainder of Week 9. Kraft is arguably his team's top receiving threat, so his absence would be a huge blow for the Packers' passing offense.

New Orleans Saints RB Alvin Kamara (ankle) is officially active for the Week 9 game.

Fantasy Spin: Kamara should see most of the work at running back this week and will be involved in both the running game and passing game. He can be a No. 2 running back or flex option in fantasy leagues.

Chicago Bears tight end Cole Kmet (concussion) left his team's Week 9 matchup against the Cincinnati Bengals and is being evaluated for a concussion, according to Josh Buckhalter of Clocker Sports. Kmet recorded one catch for 10 yards on two targets before being forced to exit the game. If Kmet is unable to return, Bears rookie tight end Colston Loveland would likely see the majority of the team's tight end work for the remainder of Week 9. With Kmet sidelined in Week 8 by a back injury, Loveland recorded three catches for 38 yards on a season-high five targets.

Carolina Panthers wide receiver Xavier Legette (concussion) left his team's Week 9 matchup against the Green Bay Packers and is being evaluated for a concussion, per Darin Gantt of Panthers.com. Legette recorded one catch for 22 yards on two targets before getting injured. If Legette is unable to return, Panthers wideouts Jimmy Horn Jr. and Brycen Tremayne would both likely see an uptick in playing time. Top Carolina wide receivers Tetairoa McMillan and Jalen Coker could also see an uptick in target volume from quarterback Bryce Young.

Cincinnati Bengals running back Samaje Perine (ankle) is doubtful to return to his team's Week 9 matchup against the Chicago Bears due to an ankle injury. Perine recorded five rushing yards on one carry before being forced to exit the game. If Perine is unable to return, Bengals back Chase Brown would likely see the vast majority of the team's backfield work for the remainder of Week 9. Rookie running back Tahj Brooks could see his role in the team's offense increase as well. The severity of Perine's ankle injury is unclear, but it's not a great sign that he's initially being listed as doubtful to return in Week 9.
