The New Orleans Saints may finally get a boost from 8th‑overall rookie wideout Jordyn Tyson, who returns to practice on Nov. 4 after a Grade 2 hamstring strain sidelined him for the first seven games. Tyson has a 21‑day window to be activated from injured reserve by Nov. 25 or face season‑ending IR. His comeback could revive a sputtering offense that has relied heavily on Chris Olave, while backup receivers have seen limited production. The timing aligns with the Saints’ upcoming Week 9 matchup.
Week 9 fantasy managers get a fresh look at tight ends after Harold Fannin Jr. posted a career‑high 154‑yard game despite a 27‑6 Browns loss, and the Saints rank sixth‑worst against the position. Greg Dulcich (MIA) targets a Lions defense that has allowed 11 TE touchdowns, while Kyle Pitts (ATL) hopes to bounce back against a Bengals secondary that struggled versus athletic tight ends. On the flip side, Dalton Kincaid (BUF) faces a Vikings unit that has surrendered the fewest fantasy points to TEs all season. The guide breaks down who to start and sit, weighing reception volume, offensive context, and opponent defenses.

Tyson, the No. 8 overall pick, may rejoin the offense against the 5‑3 Cleveland Browns in Week 9, though his game‑day status is still unclear.

The 22‑year‑old boasts a strong college résumé with 158 catches for 2,282 yards and 22 TDs, plus Big 12 newcomer of the year and first‑team honors in 2024‑25. He signed a four‑year, $32.5 million rookie deal with a $20 million signing bonus.
The Cleveland Browns, currently 5‑3 and fighting for a playoff spot, have placed quarterback Deshaun Watson in concussion protocol ahead of their Week 9 matchup with the New Orleans Saints. Watson suffered a helmet‑to‑helmet hit in the first quarter against the Steelers, was cleared after on‑field and post‑game evaluations, but reported symptoms Monday night and now faces the NFL’s five‑step clearance process. He has thrown for 1,806 yards, 7 TDs and 3 INTs this season, while also rushing for 217 yards and a score. If he cannot return, backup Shedeur Sanders is expected to start Sunday.
The Saints tumble in the latest power rankings after emerging from a bye week at 2‑5. NFL.com drops them to #28 (-5), Fox Sports to #26 (-1), Bleacher Report to #28 (-3), while CBS Sports and Sports Illustrated each give modest bumps to #26.

Watson had been cleared after the game but developed symptoms on Tuesday, leaving his health and the Browns’ playoff hopes in doubt.
Cleveland places rookie quarterback Shedeur Sanders in the starting role for Sunday’s matchup against the New Orleans Saints after starter Deshaun Watson is sidelined by a concussion sustained in the loss to the Pittsburgh Steelers. Sanders, who appeared in two games as a backup this season and started the final seven games of his 2025 rookie year, now has his first start of 2026. The Browns sit 5‑3 and need a win to stay on pace with the playoff‑bound Steelers (6‑2) and Bengals (5‑2).
The Cleveland Browns have placed starter Deshaun Watson in the concussion protocol after a helmet-to-helmet hit against the Steelers, leaving the quarterback spot open for Shedeur Sanders. Watson, who returned for the remainder of a 27-6 loss, reported symptoms on Tuesday and will be evaluated this week. If he remains sidelined, Sanders could make his first 2026 start against the New Orleans Saints—whose defense ranks among the league's worst—offering the Browns a chance to shift the QB debate amid their 5-3 start.
Deshaun Watson is placed on the Browns’ concussion protocol after a helmet‑to‑helmet hit by the Steelers, despite clearing post‑game evaluations. The injury opens the door for backup quarterback Shedeur Sanders to receive first‑team reps and potentially start against the New Orleans Saints this week.

Watson, the 2017 first‑round pick now under a five‑year, $230 million fully guaranteed deal, has thrown for 1,806 yards, seven TDs and three INTs this season. His absence adds pressure on the Browns as they chase a playoff push.

The Bears’ November schedule tests their NFC North aspirations, starting with a Week 9 Sunday night clash against a rushing‑heavy Tampa Bay Buccaneers team that logged 324 ground yards against Atlanta. Defensive tackle Jeffery Simmons and a top‑ranked run defense must contain Bucky Irving and Kenny Gainwell, while quarterback Caleb Williams looks to repeat his 308‑yard, two‑TD performance. A Week 10 bye offers Ben Johnson’s staff time to tighten third‑down and red‑zone play and heal injuries before hosting the New Orleans Saints—who the Bears beat 26-14 last season—in Week 11.

Under first‑time coordinator Mike Rutenberg, the unit swung from holding Carolina, Baltimore and Pittsburgh under 100 rushing yards to surrendering 141 yards to Tennessee and a crushing 200 yards by the Steelers, with six rushing touchdowns allowed in the last two games. Coach Todd Monken blames fatigue and schematic issues, noting the Browns now rank 24th against the run at 126.9 yards per game. A crucial test looms against the Saints, who rank near the bottom in rushing, to see if the Browns can tighten up before the season spirals.
The New Orleans Saints announce two key roster changes: they cut veteran kicker Daniel Carlson and claim running back Audric Estime off waivers. Estime, who posted a 4.3-yard average last season, is expected to boost the Saints' sputtering rushing attack, which currently sits near the NFL's bottom after a bye week. With CJ Donaldson injured and Kamara and Kendre Miller underperforming, the addition could revive the ground game. Carlson’s inconsistent performance also opens the door for rookie Charlie Smyth to assume kicking duties.
The New Orleans Saints claim former Broncos running back Audric Estime off waivers after a journeyman stint that included practice squads in Minnesota and the Browns, where he logged nine carries for 19 yards and a touchdown this season.

Both moves reshape the Saints’ roster ahead of the late‑season push.
