Bengals QB Joe Flacco (AC joint) officially Questionable for Week 9

Oct 31, 2025

The Bengals list Joe Flacco (AC joint sprain) as questionable, while DE Trey Hendrickson (hip) is doubtful.

Fantasy Impact:

We've seen a huge shift in offensive effectiveness since Flacco came to town, particularly as far as Ja'Marr Chase is concerned. Chase would still be a must-start with Browning at the helm, but it would be a sharp downgrade for Tee Higgins, Chase Brown, Noah Fant, and anyone else on fantasy rosters.

49ers to start QB Mac Jones again in Week 9

Mac Jones will start on Sunday, but Brock Purdy could be available to play, 49ers coach Kyle Shanahan said. Purdy is listed as questionable.

Fantasy Impact:

This is (once again) a downgrade for all 49ers pass-catchers, as well as Christian McCaffrey, who is a pseudo wide receiver as it is. Mac Jones should be considered a SuperFlex, top-20 option.

Panthers RB Rico Dowdle will start and get "bulk of carries" Week 9

Panthers RB Rico Dowdle will start and get the bulk of the carries Sunday at Green Bay, per league sources. But I'd expect Chuba Hubbard to be part of the offense, as well.
Dave Canales strongly suggested this would be the case at the start of the week.

Fantasy Impact:

Our rankings reflect this, with Dowdle a low-end RB2 and Hubbard more of an RB3/4 in a tough matchup against the Packers.
