Commanders RB Antonio Gibson, a game-time decision and questionable with a toe injury, is active today. A boost for Washington.

This limits Robinson's ceiling, particularly in the passing game. He should remain a low-end RB2, as Gibson can be plugged into desperate FLEX positions.

Per Nicki; "RB Antonio Gibson (toe) is not out here."

It kinda seemed like Robinson was in the Antonio Gibson role last Sunday, as he ran 19 routes to Gibson's 22 as both received six targets. Robinson also took one 51-yards for a touchdown. Rodriguez would assuredly get more run if Gibson misses, but not enough to plug him into a lineup.

Giants coach Brian Daboll announced rookie Tommy DeVito will start at QB again Sunday against Washington.

DeVito had one of the worst starts we will see in the NFL last week, failing to hit 100 yards passing on 3.2 yards per attempt with an aDOT of 6.0. He and the Giants offense have nowhere to go but up.

Bills QB Josh Allen (right shoulder) and WR Stefon Diggs (back) are off the injury report and do not have game designations for Monday against the Broncos.

Allen was a full participant in practice all week while Diggs was limited Friday and Saturday, though that seemed more like the Bills just being cautious with their star wide receiver this week. Both are in good positions for fantasy this week, especially Diggs, our No. 1 wide receiver this week.

Stefon Diggs added to the Bills’ injury report. Limited today with a back injury. They play Monday, so his game status won’t be listed until tomorrow.

It would be a bummer if he were to miss this game ahead of a cushy matchup against the Broncos' defense. If he's out, both Gabe Davis and Khalil Shakir should be thrust into respective WR2 and WR3 considerations.

The Giants are signing QB Matt Barkley from the practice squad to the active roster, source said. No surprise. He’ll take Daniel Jones’ roster spot as Jones heads to Injured Reserve.

DeVito still looks like he'll be the short-term starter, but that doesn't inspire a lot of confidence. Barkley could end up with the job at some point this season.

The Giants signed QB Jacob Eason and RB Hassan Hall to the practice squad.

Normally a practice squad QB signing isn't always fantasy-worthy news, but considering DeVito and Barkley are the QBs ahead of Eason, who knows what could happen for the rest of the season.

The Vikings didn’t plan on playing quarterback Joshua Dobbs in Week 9, but they are planning on having him make the start in Week 10.

Vikings head coach Kevin O’Connell made that announcement at a Monday press conference.

Dobbs entered Sunday’s game against the Falcons in the first quarter after Jaren Hall left with an injury and he piloted an improbably comeback win five days after joining the Vikings in a trade with the Cardinals, the story said. Hall was diagnosed with a concussion and may not be available.

An MRI confirmed the Giants’ fears: QB Daniel Jones suffered a torn ACL and is out for the season, per coach Brian Daboll.

Taylor is currently on IR with a rib injury and will miss at least three more weeks. So, the Giants will go with either DeVito or Barkley, or, it's possible they start - or eventually start - another QB who is not yet on the team. DeVito is likely to get the start in Week 10 until the Giants can figure out this mess. DeVito wasn't impressive in his debut when Taylor went down, throwing for -1 yard on seven attempts. He did rush for a TD. DeVito did throw for 175 yards and a TD this past week after Jones went down, but added two INTs in the loss.
