  Jalen Pitre: Sets up touchdown
  
  Pitre made four tackles, including one for a loss, and had an interception in Sunday's 23-20 win over Indianapolis in Week 8. Pitre's contribution to the win was intercepting an Anthony Richardson pass deep in the Colts' territory. One play later, C.J. Stroud threw a seven-yard touchdown pass to Tank Dell, giving the Texans a lead it would not relinquish. Pitre moved back to a hybrid role in the secondary this season -- a similar role he played at Baylor -- playing both cornerback and safety and showed modest improvement in his coverage. Missed tackles have been an issue, as they've been throughout his career, but Pitre has shown improvement in all areas of defense.

  Neville Hewitt: Another impactful game
  
  Hewitt recorded six tackles, one pass defensed and forced a fumble in Sunday's 23-20 win over the Colts in Week 8. Hewitt snuffed out the Colts' final drive when he forced quarterback Anthony Richardson to fumble. It was the second consecutive week in which the backup linebacker made an impact as a fill-in for Azeez Al-Shaair. Hewitt has played 100 percent of the snaps the last two weeks, posting 15 tackles, three passes defensed, an interception and a forced fumble.

  Will Anderson: Sack, fumble recovery in win
  
  Anderson recorded seven tackles, including 1.0 sacks and a fumble recovery in Sunday's 23-20 win over Indianapolis in Week 8. Anderson dealt with a chest injury during the practice week but was cleared of any restrictions well before gametime. The sack upped his season total to 7.5 and established a new career high; Anderson had 7.0 sacks over 15 games during his rookie 2023 season.

Olamide Zaccheaus : No targets on 18 routes

Zaccheaus finished without a target despite running 18 routes in Sunday's 18-15 win over the Bears. His route share (45 percent) and snap share (35 percent) weren't far off from season-long norms, but Zaccheaus uncharacteristically finished without a target. His target rate for the season is still at a lofty 26 percent, just without the consistent playing time for it to really matter outside of the deepest fantasy leagues. Zaccheaus is this unlikely to put up a big stat line Week 9 at the Giants.

October 29, 2024
Noah Brown : Catches hail mary

Brown caught three of six targets for 73 yards and a touchdown in an 18-15 win over the Bears on Sunday. Brown had a quiet afternoon until he caught a tipped pass for a 52-yard, game-winning TD on the final snap of the game, but there were some positive signs even before the miraculous play, namely season highs for snap share (82 percent) and route share (85 percent). He's been targeted on 21 percent of his routes this season while typically operating as Washington's No. 2 receiver, only with Olamide Zaccheaus and/or Dyami Brown poaching a bunch of routes and snap each week. If the added playing time wasn't just a one-week blip, Brown could emerge as a low-end fantasy starter in the second half of the season, starting with a Week 9 road game against the Giants.

October 29, 2024
Jordan Poyer : Eight tackles in defeat

Poyer recorded eight total tackles (three solo) and a pass defensed in Sunday's 28-27 loss to Arizona. Poyer was able to compile eight takedowns for the second week in a row, while also adding his first pass defensed of the season in Week 8. The safety has now produced 35 total tackles (20 solo) and a pass defensed over six contests in 2024.

October 29, 2024
Calvin Austin : Scores twice on MNF

Austin caught three of four targets for 54 yards and a touchdown while scoring a second time off of a 73-yard punt return in Monday's 26-18 win over the Giants. Austin had a standout performance on Monday Night Football when he scored both of Pittsburgh's touchdowns in the second half. The 2022 second-round pick returned a punt for a score late in the third quarter before burning his assignment on the possession for a game-clinching touchdown on a deep ball from Russell Wilson. Austin continues to see a handful of targets while returning kicks for the Steelers, but he would need to hit pay dirt consistently in order to warrant fantasy consideration in standard formats.

October 29, 2024
Jordyn Brooks : Notches nine tackles in loss

Brooks recorded nine total tackles (five solo) in Sunday's 28-27 loss to the Cardinals. Brooks was able to reach at least seven tackles for the fifth game in a row in Week 8, finishing tied for the team lead with David Long. The linebacker has now produced 55 total tackles (31 solo), including 1.0 sacks, while also adding three passes defensed over seven contests in 2024.

  Jeremy Sochan: Strong start continues
  
  Sochan supplied 22 points (9-19 FG, 0-1 3Pt, 4-5 FT), nine rebounds, four assists and one block over 34 minutes during Monday's 106-101 loss to Houston. Sochan scored at least 17 points for the third straight game to open the season, continuing his impressive start. Now back in his preferred position at power forward, Sochan has been easily the most consistent player on the Spurs' roster. He was typically available late in drafts and at this point, it appears as though he could be a great risk vs. reward option.

  Zach Collins: Serviceable effort Monday
  
  Collins recorded 11 points (3-4 FG, 1-2 3Pt, 4-4 FT), three rebounds, one assist and two steals across 13 minutes during Monday's 106-101 loss to the Rockets. Collins played limited minutes off the bench but finished the night with a serviceable fantasy line. As long as Victor Wembanyama is healthy, Collins is unlikely to play more than about 15 minutes on any given night. He does have the ability to chip in on both ends of the floor but without the playing time, he simply can't be trusted outside of very deep leagues.

  Harrison Barnes: Serves up nothing in loss
  
  Barnes finished with two points (0-3 FG, 0-1 3Pt, 2-2 FT) and three rebounds across 29 minutes during Monday's 106-101 loss to the Rockets. Barnes was invisible in the loss, demonstrating why he cannot be trusted as a viable fantasy asset. Although he has had a couple of serviceable performances to begin the season, we saw here just how bad he can be when his offense is not clicking. Outside of deeper formats, Barnes is not someone who needs to be rostered.

October 29, 2024
Reed Sheppard : Barely touched floor in win

Sheppard ended with one assist in three minutes during Monday's 106-101 victory over the Spurs. Sheppard played a season-low three minutes, continuing his disappointing start to the campaign. Despite the upside, Sheppard is simply too buried on the depth chart to have any chance at putting up viable fantasy value. Unless we see a shift in how the Rockets are running their rotations, Sheppard is best left on waivers in all competitive leagues.

October 29, 2024
Steven Adams : Plays backup role in season debut

Adams supplied six points (3-3 FG, 0-1 FT) and three rebounds across 14 minutes during Monday's 106-101 victory over San Antonio. Adams made his debut for the Rockets, serving as the primary backup behind Alperen Sengun. Now towards the back end of his career, Adams provides the young Rockets team with a veteran presence, something that is certainly needed given their young roster. He is unlikely to move the needle when it comes to fantasy, unless of course, Sengun misses time throughout the season. If and when that were to happen, Adams could be a viable streaming option for anyone needing rebounds.

October 29, 2024
Amen Thompson : Limited again in victory

Thompson produced seven points (2-5 FG, 1-1 3Pt, 2-2 FT), three rebounds, one block and one steal across 19 minutes during Monday's 106-101 win over the Spurs. Thompson continues to play limited minutes off the bench, a frustrating situation for anyone who invested a draft pick on him. Although he is typically the first player off the bench, he has yet to play a sizeable role. The upside is clear for everyone to see but at this stage, the Rockets simply have too many cooks in the kitchen. He is worth holding where possible as it feels as though he is only one injury away from stepping into a meaningful role.

October 29, 2024
Thomas Bryant : Muted effort Monday

Bryant logged four points (1-4 FG, 1-4 3Pt, 1-1 FT) and two rebounds over 13 minutes during Monday's 106-98 win over Detroit. Bryant continues to play as the primary backup behind Bam Adebayo, playing limited minutes off the bench. He has been a non-factor to this point, offering nothing in the way of tangible production. Kel'el Ware put together a strong Summer League and preseason, which could eventually stand for something when it comes to who should be the backup center option. While the position is currently Bryant's to lose, he is by no means a player managers need to concern themselves with.

October 29, 2024
Duncan Robinson : Quiet in victory Monday

Robinson ended with six points (2-8 FG, 2-7 3Pt) and one rebound over 16 minutes during Monday's 106-98 victory over Detroit. Robinson was used sparingly off the bench, a trend that appears likely to stick moving forward. He has scored a combined 16 points over the first three games, making him a non-factor in most fantasy formats. Other than limited value as a three-point streamer, Robinson can be ignored for the time being.

  Carlos Rodón: Blister issue considered manageable
  
  Yankees manager Aaron Boone said Monday that the blister issue Rodon dealt with during his World Series Game 2 start is "manageable" and is not expected to prevent him from making another start, Bryan Hoch of MLB.com reports. The blister might have affected Rodon's command against the Dodgers, particularly with his slider. However, it does not appear he's in danger of missing a start, which is tentatively slated for Friday in Game 6, if necessary. Rodon yielded three home runs and four runs in total in his Game 2 loss.

  Shohei Ohtani: In Game 3 lineup Monday
  
  Ohtani (shoulder) will start at designated hitter and bat leadoff Monday in Game 3 of the World Series versus the Yankees, Bill Plunkett of The Orange County Register reports. Ohtani was forced to depart Game 2 of the World Series on Saturday due to a left shoulder subluxation suffered on a slide into second base. However, an MRI confirmed that he doesn't have any structural damage and he was able to go through 80 percent of his daily routine Sunday without issue. Ohtani will not be allowed to attempt any stolen bases Monday and perhaps not for the remainder of the series, per Alden Gonzalez of ESPN.com, but he's feeling well enough to give it a go at the plate as the Dodgers try to take a commanding 3-0 series lead.

Brandon Leibrandt: Designated for assignment

The Reds designated Leibrandt for assignment Monday. It's a procedural move designed to free up a spot on the 40-man roster. Leibrandt had been set to become a free agent following the World Series.

October 28, 2024
Amed Rosario: Exits 40-man roster

The Reds designated Rosario for assignment Monday. The team needed to make a couple 40-man roster moves in order to activate two players from the 60-day injured list. Rosario is set to be a free agent this offseason, so this will simply allow him to reach the market a few days earlier. He hit .280/.306/.380 with three homers and 13 steals for the Rays, Dodgers and Reds in 2024.

October 28, 2024
Matt McLain: Reinstated from 60-day injured list

The Reds activated McLain (shoulder/rib) from the 60-day injured list Monday. It's a paper move reinstating McLain to the 40-man roster, as the infielder's rehab assignment in the Arizona Fall League has technically expired. McLain missed the entire 2024 season following shoulder surgery and later a stress reaction in his rib cage, but he will enter spring training at 100 percent, barring another setback.

October 28, 2024
Christian Encarnacion-Strand: Activated from 60-day IL

The Reds activated Encarnacion-Strand (wrist) from the 60-day injured list Monday. The move was required because Encarnacion-Strand is in the Arizona Fall League on a rehab assignment, which has expired. He will continue to play in the AFL and is now back on the Reds' 40-man roster after missing most of the season following wrist surgery.

October 28, 2024
Austin Wells: Out of Game 3 lineup

Wells is not in the lineup Monday for Game 3 of the World Series versus the Dodgers. The Yankees will give the righty-hitting Jose Trevino a start at catcher even as the Dodgers send right-hander Walker Buehler to the bump. Wells is just 4-for-41 with 18 strikeouts so far this postseason.
