The medical report of the 9th week is full of good news and bad news. Many have been sidelined or tend to move in this direction, although the setback seems ready to host a pair of big names in the field. There are also potentially significant absences on the receiver, which is particularly worrying this week. Without further ado, let's look at the latest on Sunday morning:

quarterbacks

• Invoices & # 39; Josh Allen (elbow) miss a third consecutive game in the 9th week. However, Derek Anderson, who replaced Allen in the past two weeks, will also be sitting with a concussion. This drives the often denigrated Nathan Peterman Back in a novice role against the aggressive Bears defense in the ninth week. Peterman scored a total of 61 yards for a 61-yard gain with a touchdown and two interceptions in a half against the Texans in the sixth week before being benched. Given the quality of the opponent and his own track record, the presence of Peterman reduces the Fantasy odds of all players positions Bills.
• Dolphins & # 39; Ryan Tannehill (shoulder) will miss a fourth consecutive game of the 9th week against the Jets. Brock Osweiler, who has completed 71 of her 112 attempts for 860 yards with five touchdowns and three interceptions in her three starts, will again be lined up under the center of Miami.

RACE DOS

• The Vikings & # 39; Dalvin Cook (hamstrings) It is questionable to face the Lions on Sunday, but early Sunday morning it is likely that it will only be available for a limited number of games. Cook has missed the last four games and it looks like the team is committing to take him back to action to avoid another setback. Latavius ​​Murray Minnesota's bottom line is expected to handle most of the ground work for at least a week more than a Detroit defense that allows 23.29 Fantasy points to run in standard pointing formats.
• Chargers Melvin Gordon (hamstring) It is questionable to face the Seahawks in an interconference conference of week 9 after completing the week with a full practice. According to Sunday morning reports, he should do the business unless there is a last minute setback.
• The patriots Sony Michel (knee-MCL) was able to perform three limited practices last week and is officially listed as questionable for the Sunday night battle against the Packers. Sunday's reports indicate that Michel is really a game decision, and Kenjon Barner and James White would take backstage jobs in New England for a second week in a row if Michel could not go.
• Redskins Chris Thompson (ribs) is missing against the Falcons on Sunday, his third absence in the last four games. Adrian Peterson, Who has already registered two games of 100 yards on the ground and has more than 90 yards on three other occasions, will be at the helm of the Washington backfield. Meanwhile, Kapri Bibbs (shoulder) bears a questionable name and would spell Thompson if he can get dressed.
• The Seahawks Chris Carson (hip) is questionable for Sunday's battle against the Chargers, and as stated in early reports on Sunday, it will be a real gaming decision. The team would apparently remain optimistic that it will be able to play, but the warm-ups will pre-match will tell the story.
• The crows & # 39; Alex Collins (foot) It's questionable for the big divisional clash against the Steelers on Sunday, but he wrapped up the week with a full training. According to Sunday morning reports, he should play. Collins is supported by Javorius Allen and the newly acquired Ty Montgomery.
• The broncos Royce Freeman (ankle) is doubtful for Sunday's game against the Texans. According to Sunday morning reports, he should not play. Rookie companion Phillip Lindsay and Devontae Booker the two would have expanded their roles once again in what would be Freeman's second consecutive absence.
• The buccaneers Ronald Jones II (hamstrings) will miss the divisional battle of Sunday against the Panthers. Jones has only seen one-digit keys since he was first activated in Part 4 and his absence is therefore unlikely to have a significant impact on running. from Tampa. Peyton Barber remains the clear red wire in an offense that will be conducted by Ryan Fitzpatrick in week 9.

WIDE RECEIVERS

• The Vikings & # 39; Stefon Diggs (ribs) is doubtful to play in Sunday's divisional clash against the Lions after failing to practice all week. The Sunday morning reports indicate that there is a "cannon shot" to play. His absence would put even more responsibility on the prolific Adam Thielen, as the 2016 first-round pick Laquon Treadwell probably start in front of Thielen. Aldrick Robinson and former CFL star Brandon Zylstra would position themselves respectively in the roles of catcher # 3 and # 4, although the absence of Diggs would almost certainly also result in the addition of additional goals Kyle Rudolph.
• The rams Cooper Kupp (knee-MCL) is missing from the report of Sunday's much-anticipated conference against the Saints. Jared Goff will have his trio of receptions to his credit, pushing the promising Josh Reynolds, who scored two touchdowns against the Packers in the eighth week instead of Kupp, to return to the role of 4th wide.
• Packers Geronimo Allison (groin) was sidelined for the interconference showdown Sunday night against the Patriots. His absence should once again propel the impressive rookie Mark Valdes-Scantling in sets with three receivers in a game that has a good share of passes. Valdes-Scantling has recorded 14 receptions for 257 yards and two touchdowns this season, and has a penchant for block play – four of his catches have exceeded 20 yards, including two over 40.
• Meanwhile, Allison's teammate Randall Cobb (hamstrings) is also questionable, but according to Saturday night reports, he should play.
• The bears & # 39; Allen Robinson (groin) is questionable for Sunday's inter-conference battle against the bills, and he encouraged ended the week with limited practice. If he is unable to dress for a second week in a row, the other underdogs Taylor Gabriel, Anthony Miller, return Tarik Cohen and tight end Trey Burton would all be potential beneficiaries.
• The jets Robby Anderson (ankle) is debatable for Sunday's inclination at week 9 against dolphins. Anderson recorded only one practice all week, Friday, although reports released late Saturday confirm that the team is optimistic for him to play. Veteran Jermaine Kearse, who struggled to take advantage of Anderson's absence last week, and the last Rishard Matthews would once again serve as the top two underdogs if Anderson was missing. Meanwhile, Andre Roberts (back) is questionable also for the contest after not practicing Friday. The situation is even more difficult after the University of Miami and Duke played in the pouring rain Saturday night, according to reports released early Sunday.
• The patriots Josh Gordon (hamstring) again carries the dubious title for a Sunday night battle against the Packers, but as it has been since his arrival in New England, he should fully play despite the designation. Great companion Julian Edelman (ankle) is also debatable, although he ended the week with consecutive limited sessions.
• Meanwhile, teammate Cordarrelle Patterson (neck) is also questionable after finishing the week with limited practice. An absence of Patterson would be especially felt by the special teams, where Kenjon Barner would probably slip into the role of kicker kicker Patterson.
• Browns & # 39; Antonio Callaway (ankle) It is questionable to face leaders Sunday after suffering ankle injury during Thursday 's practice and Friday' s missing sessions. According to information released late Saturday night, he will submit to tests before the final decision on his status. On a more positive note for Cleveland's receiving corps before a match in which they are likely to have to pitch a lot is that Rashard Higgins (knee-MCL) is questionable after missing three games, but is likely to play after finishing the week with a pair of limited practices.
• Texans Keke Coutee (hamstrings) will miss the battle of Sunday against the Broncos, his second consecutive absence. With his teammate Will Fuller (knee) for the season, the new acquis Demaryius Thomas will line up opposite DeAndre Hopkins against the team that he just traded earlier in the week.
• Dolphins & # 39; Kenny Stills (groin) It is officially debatable to face the Jets during the 9th week, but as indicated by Sunday morning reports, he has a long chance to play. The poor state of the Hard Rock Stadium mentioned above could certainly reduce its chances even more. DeVante Parker and Danny Amendola would once again serve as the first two underdogs for Brock Osweiler should not Stills agree.
• Jamison Crowder (ankle) will be absent in the 9th week against the Falcons, his fourth consecutive absence. while Paul Richardson (shoulder) is questionable after again exercising on a limited basis on Thursday and Friday, but as was the case last week with a similar participation pattern, he should dress.
• The panthers Torrey Smith (knee) will be out for Sunday's divisional battle against the Buccaneers. Beginner D.J. Moore, who has experienced an escape effort with five catches for 90 yards on day 8 against the Ravens, will again be named as No. 2 catcher against a Buccaneers unit ranked last in several categories of defense at the pass and which allows to obtain 30.14 Fantasy points per match to recipients in standard scoring formats.
  

TEND END

• The patriots Rob Gronkowski (back) It is questionable to face the Packers Sunday night after taking two limited practices around a DNP Thursday this week. He played with a similar program of participation last week, but Sunday's reports indicate that it could be a real decision at the time of the game. It is a difficult point with Gronkowski who must play Sunday night. Meanwhile, the position companion Jacob Hollister (hamstring) is also listed as questionable.
• Dolphins & # 39; ONE J. Derby (foot) is questionable to take the Jets in the 9th week, but practiced in full all week. If he's able to dress up, this will be his first appearance since he played 14 shots during the 3rd week against the Raiders before getting hurt.
• The jets Neal Sterling (concussion)) is missing for Sunday's divisional game against the Dolphins. Promising recruit Chris Herndon, who has caught touchdown passes in three straight games, is expected to once again lead the tight spot for New York when returning to the stadium where he played his college ball for the Hurricanes.
• The cowboys Geoff Swaim (knee- MCL) is doubtful to face the Titans on Football Monday night. Blake Jarwin and Dalton Schultz will take over if Swaim sits as planned.

KICKERS

• Falcons Matt Bryant (hamstrings) will miss a second consecutive game in Week 9, as the week off was apparently not enough to allow him to fully recover. Giorgio Tavecchio, who was perfect on three goals and two more points in Week Seven against the Giants, will be able to take the lead in the first leg against the Redskins.
