Last-minute fantasy football streaming options for NFL Week 9: D/ST

For NFL Week 9 fantasy managers, streaming D/ST options hinge on matchups more than marquee names. The Seattle Seahawks rebound from a 34‑point, one‑sack loss to the Bears and face the Arizona Cardinals, offering a bounce‑back chance. The Houston Texans, coming off a 27‑point, 420‑yard night against the Chiefs, could exploit the winless Chargers but remain inconsistent. Denver’s Broncos, despite a modest 24‑point, 399‑yard effort versus Kansas City, showed a clutch fourth‑quarter stop and now meet the Panthers, keeping them viable. Lastly, the New York Giants, after a solid 21‑point, 237‑yard week versus Houston, target a struggling, injury‑hit Eagles squad for potential turnover upside. Each defense presents a distinct risk‑reward scenario for weekly streaming.

Player Grades: Cavs vs 76ers – Defense leads the way

Evan Mobley also scores an A with 22 points and strong defense, holding Joel Embiid to 0‑for‑9. Mario Hezonja posts a double‑double and grabs an A, while James Harden (B+), Meleek Thomas (B+), Peyton Watson (B) and Tyrese Proctor (B) contribute solid minutes. Sam Merrill leaves early with an injury and receives an INCOMPLETE grade. The piece highlights the Cavs' defensive push and balanced scoring.

‘We’re Better Than That’: Brian Schottenheimer Says Dallas Cowboys Offensive Line Fell Short Against Arizona Cardinals

Dallas Cowboys head coach Brian Schottenheimer bluntly admits the offensive line fell short against the Arizona Cardinals, surrendering four sacks and managing just 93 rushing yards on 39 attempts in a 33‑30 overtime loss. He contrasts that with the unit’s 204‑yard ground game in the 38‑21 win over Philadelphia on Oct. 26, highlighting interior starters Tyler Smith, Cooper Beebe and Tyler Booker as needing to be dominant each week. Schottenheimer also outlines the team’s run‑first strategy, adjustments to play‑type, and warns of heavy blitz pressure from Indianapolis’ Lou Anarumo ahead of Sunday’s game.

“It’s Not a Crime”: Eagles Super Bowl Champ Defends LeSean McCoy Amid Controversial Emmitt Smith Debate

Former Eagles Super Bowl champion LeSean McCoy pushes back against Michael Irvin’s claim that Emmitt Smith is unequivocally superior, insisting he can still hold his own in the all‑time RB debate. Irvin praises Smith’s durability and 18,355 career rushing yards while conceding McCoy’s elusiveness, but McCoy retorts that legends like Adrian Peterson and LaDainian Tomlinson rank above him and that era differences matter. The article also cites Emmitt’s own modest view on being the greatest and notes Darius Slay Jr.’s support for free‑thinking opinions. With stats, quotes, and the broader “greatest‑RB” discussion, the piece examines how legacy and personal perspective clash in NFL lore.

Eagles release Dameon Pierce from IR with injury settlement

The Philadelphia Eagles have released veteran running back Dameon Pierce from injured reserve after reaching an injury settlement, making him a free agent. Pierce, signed in the offseason to back up Saquon Barkley, appeared in just three games, tallying 96 rushing yards, two touchdowns on 37 carries, and seven catches for 14 yards. His most notable effort came in Week 7 against the Dallas Cowboys, where he logged 14 carries for 47 yards and a touchdown before exiting with an injury that landed him on IR. The settlement now allows Pierce to seek opportunities with another team.

Tiago Splitter hypes up Nic Claxton, Jalen Smith duo

Eight games into his tenure, Bulls head coach Tiago Splitter is rallying a battered frontcourt ahead of Sunday’s clash with the Philadelphia 76ers. With both Nic Claxton and Jalen Smith nursing injuries—Claxton from a hamstring and Smith from a hand—Splitter says the duo can feed off each other and may even swap starting roles. He expects Claxton to boost the offense with passing and transition play once he returns, while Smith, who started before his injury, is also set to suit up. The Bulls, sitting 1‑7, hope the revived paint partnership can spark a turnaround when they host the 76ers at 2:30 pm CST.

Nic Claxton makes bold declaration before possible return

Center Nic Claxton, sidelined by a preseason hamstring strain, joins the Chicago Bulls at practice Friday and declares he feels great and is ready to return for Sunday’s 2:30 p.m. CST game against the Philadelphia 76ers. He emphasizes health and availability, vowing to "run through a wall." The Bulls, sitting 1‑7, have relied on Jalen Smith, who also missed Wednesday’s game with a hand injury but is expected back on Sunday. Claxton’s comeback could bolster Chicago’s interior defense after his June three‑team trade from Brooklyn and Minnesota.

Matvei Michkov is scoring like a first-line winger on third-line minutes

After 18 games, Philadelphia winger Matvei Michkov leads the Flyers with 10 goals despite logging just 15:53 minutes per night – a rate of 2.1 goals per 60 minutes that ranks him with the league’s elite finishers. Most of his production comes on the power play (five PP goals), yet coach Rick Tocchet limits his even‑strength ice time, citing conditioning and defensive reliability. Prediction markets price Michkov’s season at roughly 47 goals, giving him only an 8% chance to hit 50, largely because of his limited minutes. The article argues that more EV minutes, a stable linemate, or a soft schedule stretch could boost his numbers and reshape the Flyers’ offensive outlook.

NFL Transactions: Friday 11/6

Friday’s NFL moves see several roster changes: the Broncos cut DB Taylor Rapp, and the Seahawks release RB Velus Jones. The Eagles approve an injury settlement, freeing RB Dameon Pierce from IR. The Panthers shuffle the secondary, dropping practice‑squad DB Zion Childress and adding DB Jakorian Bennett. In a notable trade, the Cardinals send QB Jacoby Brissett and a 2027 fifth‑rounder to the Ravens for a 2027 fourth‑round pick and a 2028 seventh‑round pick, with the Ravens also swapping those same picks in the opposite direction and waiving QB Austin Reed. These transactions were posted on NFLTradeRumors.co on November 7, 2026.

Eagles Release RB Dameon Pierce From IR

The Philadelphia Eagles have cut running back Dameon Pierce from injured reserve, reaching an injury settlement on Friday. The 26‑year‑old, a 2022 fourth‑round pick from Florida, spent his rookie deal with the Texans before a brief practice‑squad stint with the Chiefs, then joined the Eagles in the offseason. In 2026 he logged three games, 96 rushing yards on 37 carries (2.6 YPC), seven catches for 14 yards and two touchdowns before being released.

Eagles’ Saquon Barkley in, DeVonta Smith, Dontayvion Wicks out for Giants clash

Saquon Barkley, battling hamstring and back issues, is cleared to play after logging 274 rushing yards and two TDs in six games. Wide receiver DeVonta Smith and rookie Dontayvion Wicks are both ruled out—Smith with a hamstring injury and Wicks with an ankle problem. Philadelphia’s injury report lists six players out, one questionable, and 13 available, including the 29‑year‑old Barkley.

Eagles’ Kelly Green, Super Chargers Highlight Week

Week 9 brings two NFL throwback looks: the Philadelphia Eagles return in their Kelly Green alternate kit against the New York Giants, while the Los Angeles Chargers debut their all‑navy “Super Chargers” uniforms versus the Houston Texans. Both designs honor historic eras—the Eagles’ green uniform, reintroduced in 2023, has become a staple, and the Chargers’ navy set draws from their 1990s‑early‑2000s styling that coincided with a Super Bowl appearance and multiple AFC West titles. The spotlight isn’t tied to recent performance; the Eagles are battling a slump, and the Chargers still chase their first win. These retro uniforms highlight the league’s growing nod to heritage.

Eagles Film Review: Joe Milton is an easy player to get excited about

Philadelphia Eagles' rookie quarterback Joe Milton ignites excitement with a rare arm talent that delivers quick, zip‑filled throws to short, intermediate and deep spots. The Bleeding Green Nation review highlights his rapid release, ability to hit tight windows, and potential to boost the Eagles' RPO and vertical passing game, though his accuracy can be inconsistent. Milton also shows comfort moving in the pocket, suggesting more play‑action bootleg opportunities this season.

NFC Notes: DaRon Bland, J.J. McCarthy, Cowboys, Eagles, Giants

Dallas defensive coordinator Christian Parker urges veteran cornerback DaRon Bland to boost consistency, noting close contested catches that could swing games. Meanwhile, the Philadelphia Eagles sit 2‑6 after a Week 8 loss to Washington, with head coach Nick Sirianni emphasizing unwavering support from owner Jeffrey Lurie despite the six‑game skid. In New York, Giants rookie quarterback J.J. McCarthy says the recent bye week helped him master the playbook and solidify his comfort in the offense. The notes capture the latest coaching comments and player statuses across the NFC.

The killer mistake Eagles must avoid at 2026 NFL trade deadline

With the 2026 NFL trade deadline looming, the Philadelphia Eagles face a crucial decision: shed veteran talent now or gamble on a turnaround with rookie QB Joe Milton. General manager Howie Roseman is urged to move players like Riq Woolen, Hollywood Brown and possibly Moro Ojomo before free agency, while keeping Saquon Barkley and Landon Dickerson off the market. The article warns that holding onto high‑value veterans could backfire if the team fails to contend in 2027, especially amid coaching uncertainty around Nick Sirianni, Sean Mannion and Vic Fangio. Cutting ties now may secure better draft compensation and avoid a costly, prolonged rebuild.

Nick Sirianni Explains Why He Made the QB Switch From Tanner McKee to Joe Milton

Eagles head coach Nick Sirianni explains the surprise quarterback switch from Tanner McKee to Joe Milton for the Week 9 matchup against the Giants. While Sirianni praised McKee’s solid performance, he said the decision was made with input from GM Howie Roseman, offensive staff and quarterbacks coach Parks Frazier to give the team its best chance to win now, not waiting for the bye week. He emphasized that the change was a fluid, game‑plan decision and that he alone makes the final call, rejecting speculation that ownership forced the move.

Giants’ Cam Skattebo doesn’t practice Friday, but could he still play vs. Eagles?

The Giants face the Philadelphia Eagles Sunday after a 27-21 win over Houston, but running back Cam Skattebo’s status is uncertain. Skattebo missed Friday’s practice and is listed as doubtful on the injury report, though coach John Harbaugh stops short of ruling him out. The back has 418 yards and two touchdowns this season, but with Tyron Tracy Jr. on IR, Devin Singletary is expected to lead the rush, backed by Greg Desrosiers and Phil Mafah. If Skattebo can’t play Sunday, his next opportunity arrives on Nov. 12 against Washington.

NFL Trade Targets: Defense

With the NFL trade deadline looming on Nov. 10, The Game Haus highlights seven defensive players likely to move. Cornerback Riq Woolen (Eagles) could land with the Lions or Bears, while pass rusher Josh Sweat (Cardinals) draws interest from the Giants and Jaguars. Veteran safety Budda Baker (Cardinals) may be offloaded to the Cowboys or 49ers, and Khalil Mack (Chargers) could reunite with Chicago, suiting the 49ers or Bears. Dolphins’ edge rusher Josh Uche fits the Chiefs or Giants, and Saints safety Justin Reid is a potential Bills or Jaguars pickup. Each prospect is tied to expiring contracts or teams looking to rebuild.
