Lamar Jackson threw four touchdown passes and led a comeback from a 10-point, fourth-quarter deficit on Sunday as the visiting Baltimore Ravens rallied for a 41-38 overtime win over the Cincinnati Bengals.
Derrick Henry's 51-yard run in the extra session set up Justin Tucker's game-winning 24-yard field goal with 3:33 left for the Ravens (3-2).
Cincinnati holder Ryan Rehkow bobbled the snap on Evan McPherson's 53-yard field-goal attempt that would have won the Bengals the game with 4:26 left in overtime.
Joe Burrow threw a career-high five touchdown passes and Ja'Marr Chase had 10 catches for 193 yards and two scores for the Bengals (1-4), who couldn't protect three different 10-point leads.
Henry was held to 41 yards on 14 carries before the 51-yard run. He scored from 1 yard out with 8:54 left in the first quarter for his 100th career touchdown from scrimmage, giving the Ravens an early 7-0 lead. Henry would cross off another milestone in the second quarter when he surpassed the 10,000-yard rushing plateau for his career.

Aaron Rodgers completed 29 of 54 passes for 244 yards, two touchdowns and three interceptions for the Jets (2-3). Garrett Wilson and Allen Lazard each had a touchdown catch, with Wilson hauling in a game-high 13 receptions for 101 yards. With 49 seconds remaining and the ball at the Minnesota 26, Rodgers' third-and-10 pass was intercepted by Stephon Gilmore to seal the win for the Vikings.
Bears 36, Panthers 10
DJ Moore caught two touchdown passes against his former team and Roschon Johnson had two touchdown runs as host Chicago blasted Carolina.
Caleb Williams threw both TD passes to Moore and finished with 304 yards on 20-for-29 passing as the Bears (3-2) improved to 3-0 at home. Moore, in his second season with Chicago following five with the Panthers, finished with 105 yards on five catches.
Chuba Hubbard gained 97 rushing yards on 13 carries and had a 38-yard touchdown burst for Carolina (1-4), which has lost two in a row. Andy Dalton completed 18 of 28 passes for 136 yards and an interception before Bryce Young, who was benched following the second game of the season, came in to throw for 58 yards in the fourth quarter.
Texans 23, Bills 20
Ka'imi Fairbairn connected on a 59-yard field goal as time expired to lift Houston over visiting Buffalo.
Texans receiver Stefon Diggs caught six passes for 82 yards in his first game against a Bills team that he starred for from 2020-23. C.J. Stroud hit on 28 of 38 passes for 331 yards with a touchdown and an interception as Houston (4-1) matched its second-best start through five games in franchise history.
Josh Allen endured a poor showing for Buffalo (3-2), connecting on just 9 of 30 passes for 131 yards with a touchdown. Keon Coleman caught a 49-yard touchdown for the Bills, who trailed 20-3 in the third quarter before scoring 17 straight points.
Dolphins 15, Patriots 10
Alec Ingold rushed for a go-ahead 3-yard touchdown with 4:24 remaining to lift Miami over New England in Foxborough, Mass.
Jaylen Wright racked up 86 yards on 13 carries for the Dolphins (2-3), who totaled 193 rushing yards as a team. Wright took on a larger role in the backfield after Miami lost De'Von Achane to a concussion in the first quarter.
Quarterback Jacoby Brissett finished with 160 yards on 18-of-34 passing for the Patriots (1-4). Rhamondre Stevenson collected 89 yards and a TD on 12 carries.
Commanders 34, Browns 13
Brian Robinson Jr. ran for two touchdowns and Jayden Daniels threw for another as Washington won its fourth straight game, routing Cleveland in Landover, Md.
Daniels completed 14 of 25 passes for 238 yards and an interception. The rookie quarterback also led Washington with 82 rushing yards on 11 carries. The Commanders outgained Cleveland 434-212 and improved to 4-1 for the first time since 2008.

Kyler Murray directed the game-winning drive for the Cardinals (2-3), who covered 75 yards in 14 plays. Murray finished 19-of-30 passing for 195 yards and a touchdown with one interception. He added 83 yards with another touchdown on the ground.
The Cardinals shut out the 49ers (2-3) in the second half. San Francisco's Brandon Aiyuk led all receivers with 147 yards on eight receptions, while Brock Purdy went 19-of-35 passing for 244 yards with a touchdown and two interceptions.
Giants 29, Seahawks 20
Daniel Jones threw for 257 yards and two touchdowns as New York stunned host Seattle despite playing without its leading rusher and receiver.
Giants rookie running back Tyrone Tracy Jr., starting for the injured Devin Singletary (groin), rushed for 129 yards. Darius Slayton, stepping up with Malik Nabers (concussion) out, had eight receptions for 122 yards and a touchdown.

Geno Smith led the Seahawks (3-2) by completing 28 of 40 passes for 284 yards and a touchdown. Seattle went up 7-0 on Rayshawn Jenkins' 102-yard fumble return touchdown late in the first quarter.
Waiver Wire Pickups: Week 9
Los Angeles Chargers quarterback Justin Herbert played well in a 27-10 Week 9 win over the Cleveland Browns. Herbert attempted 27 passes, completing 18 of them for 282 yards and two touchdowns. He added two yards on the ground on three recorded carries while taking six sacks, losing 36 yards. Herbert's first touchdown was a 28-yard pass to Joshua Palmer in the first quarter, and he followed it up with a 66-yard pass to Quentin Johnston in the second. Herbert didn't need to do much in the second half as the Chargers just chewed lock and nursed their lead. He could have had a bigger game, but the Bolts defense held the Browns to just three points until the last drive of the game. Herbert and the Chargers will take on the Titans in Week 10.

Baltimore Ravens quarterback Lamar Jackson is now tied for the most games with a perfect passer rating (4) in NFL history. The only other QB with four is AFC North rival Ben Roethlisberger. In the 41-10 win over the Denver Broncos, Jackson posted 280 yards and three touchdowns while throwing 16-for-19 and adding four yards on three carries. He's considered the front-runner for his third MVP by most outlets and Jackson remains atop the position in fantasy as well. He'll go up against the Cincinnati Bengals again in Week 10 on Thursday Night Football.

Miami Dolphins wide receiver Tyreek Hill caught four out of five targets for 80 yards in Miami's 30-27 loss to the Buffalo Bills. The offense made it clear early that their mission was to establish the run against a vulnerable defensive line for the Bills. Hill would've had a much better day if Tua Tagovailoa had hit him in stride on a deep ball he severely underthrew, which may have ended in a touchdown. Contrary to the defense's poor performance, the offense gave a great showing. Nonetheless, Hill made the most of the limited number of targets he received. At (2-6), Miami will be desperate for wins for the rest of the season, which should equal more targets for the speedster. The 30-year-old looks to have more looks next week when the Dolphins travel to Los Angeles to take on the Rams.
From RotoBaller
Miami Dolphins wide receiver Jaylen Waddle (ankle) caught both his two targets for minus-four yards and a receiving touchdown in their 30-27 loss to the Buffalo Bills. Other than the touchdown, Waddle was relatively quiet during the day. His second reception came on the game's last play, where Miami lateraled, and he ran close to 25 yards backwards. He left the game briefly with an ankle injury but soon re-entered the game with no further issues. The lack of targets came from the offense electing to establish the run and expose Buffalo's weakness of stopping the run. Still, this season has not been what fantasy managers have hoped for from the 25-year-old after three straight 1,000-yard campaigns. With Miami falling to 2-6 and the schedule looking a bit easier in the next couple of weeks, Waddle has the potential to break out. Next week, a matchup with the Los Angeles Rams could be a shootout.
From RotoBaller
Philadelphia Eagles wide receiver A.J. Brown (knee) is questionable to return to Sunday's game versus the Jaguars. The wideout was back on the field with his team for the start of the second half. But, it didn't take long before he was shown jogging back to the locker room. It's unknown how or when the injury occurred. But if Brown doesn't return, he'll finish with two receptions for 36 yards, with DeVonta Smith, Jahan Dotson, and Grant Calcaterra potentially in line to see more attention from Jalen Hurts for the rest of Week 9.
From RotoBaller
Baltimore Ravens running back Derrick Henry extended his scoring streak to nine games and scored his 100th career rushing touchdown while he dominated the Denver Broncos in a 41-10 win on Sunday. The King ended the game with 106 yards and two touchdowns on 23 carries and even added one reception for 27 yards. Henry extended his lead as the RB1 even further and is the first running back to 1,000 yards this season. He's on pace to break his yard mark for all of last season by their next game against the Cincinnati Bengals on Thursday Night Football.
From RotoBaller
Los Angeles Rams wide receiver Puka Nacua was ejected from Sunday's meeting with the Seattle Seahawks. The wideout wasn't a lock to play after re-aggravating his knee injury. While he was on the field, he didn't last long before getting disqualified for punching Seahawks cornerback Coby Bryant near the end of the second quarter. Nacua will finish this one with only one catch (four targets) for 11 yards, leaving room for Cooper Kupp, Kyren Williams, Demarcus Robinson, and Tutu Atwell to get more involved on the receiving end for the rest of the contest.
From RotoBaller
Miami Dolphins quarterback Tua Tagovailoa completed 25 of 28 passes for 231 yards and two touchdowns in their 30-27 loss to the Buffalo Bills on Sunday. It was a second straight outing where the offense looked much improved from weeks prior. The Miami rushing attack created a lot of open space in the secondary for Tagovailoa to create chunk plays. In their previous meeting with Buffalo back in Week 2, Tagovailoa threw three interceptions. It was encouraging to see no turnovers from him against an excellent defense. This also marks back-to-back games where the former Alabama Crimson Tide finished with no turnovers, and the offense scored 27 points. With Miami now sitting at (2-6), they're more desperate than ever to get wins. Look for Tagovailoa to air the ball out next week when they travel to take on the Los Angeles Rams in a game that could be a shootout.

The Cleveland Browns defense allowed 27 points while notching six sacks in a 27-10 loss to the Los Angeles Chargers in Week 9. While Cleveland's pass rush was a problem for the Chargers, they struggled to contain the running game as J.K. Dobbins ripped off 85 yards and two touchdowns in the lopsided loss. The Browns were led by Myles Garrett, who had three sacks, and Dalvin Tomlinson, who had 1.5 sacks. Cleveland will be on bye in Week 10 before a road matchup against the New Orleans Saints.
From RotoBaller
Tennessee Titans wide receiver Nick Westbrook-Ikhine had five receptions (six targets) for 50 yards in Sunday's win over the New England Patriots. The 27-year-old also found the end zone in this one, extending his streak to four consecutive games with a touchdown. With DeAndre Hopkins now in Kansas City, there is room for others to step up on the receiving end behind Calvin Ridley. While Westbrook-Ikhine will eventually cool off, fantasy managers can continue to start him in Week 10 against the Los Angeles Chargers.
From RotoBaller
Cleveland Browns wide receiver Jerry Jeudy caught seven of his 11 targets for 73 yards in a 27-10 loss to the Los Angeles Chargers in Week 9. Jeudy wound up leading the Browns in catches while finishing second in targets and yardage in the lopsided loss to the Chargers. The veteran receiver has been productive in his two games with Jameis Winston under center, posting 12 catches for 152 yards over that span. Jeudy's arrow in fantasy is pointing up with him heading into his bye in Week 10.
From RotoBaller
Cleveland Browns wide receiver Elijah Moore caught three of his nine targets for 28 yards in a 27-10 loss to the Los Angeles Chargers in Week 9. Moore failed to repeat his big outing in Week 8, although his nine targets were encouraging as he has now drawn 21 looks from Jameis Winston over the past two weeks. The veteran wideout will be on bye in Week 10 before he takes on the New Orleans Saints in Week 11.
From RotoBaller
Tennessee Titans wide receiver Calvin Ridley caught five of his eight targets for 73 yards in Sunday's overtime win over the Patriots. With the Titans dealing DeAndre Hopkins to the Chiefs, Ridley had 10 receptions for 143 yards in the Week 8 loss to the Detroit Lions. While the 29-year-old wasn't as productive in Week 9, he still did enough to lead the way on the receiving end. With 15 grabs in the last two weeks, Ridley remains a must-start in Week 10 against the Los Angeles Chargers. However, the wideout's outlook may not be as favorable if Will Levis (shoulder) returns to the lineup and Mason Rudolph heads back to the bench.
From RotoBaller
Tennessee Titans running back Julius Chestnut gained waiver attention heading into Sunday's overtime win over the New England Patriots. However, with Tony Pollard (foot) available, Chestnut wasn't very involved, finishing the day with only 22 yards off five carries. As long as Tyjae Spears (hamstring) stays on the shelf, Chestnut should remain the No. 2 option on the depth chart. Still, he won't see enough action to warrant fantasy consideration as long as Pollard is on the field. This will remain true for the Titans Week 10 meeting with the Los Angeles Chargers.
From RotoBaller
Cleveland Browns tight end David Njoku caught five of his seven targets for 29 yards in a 27-10 loss to the Los Angeles Chargers in Week 9. Njoku was quiet in the lopsided loss just a week after going for 61 yards and a touchdown. That being said, Njoku has now drawn 28 targets over his past three games and should continue to return solid TE1 numbers with Jameis Winston under center. The Browns are on bye in Week 10 before they take on the New Orleans Saints in Week 11.
From RotoBaller
Cleveland Browns kicker Dustin Hopkins made one of his two field goals and added an extra point in a 27-10 loss to the Los Angeles Chargers in Week 9. Hopkins drilled a 38-yarder in the contest but had a 51-yard attempt blocked by the Chargers in the fourth quarter. The veteran kicker has now made 14 of his 18 field-goal attempts and 10 of his 11 extra points through nine games this season. He will be on bye in Week 10 before heading on the road to face the New Orleans Saints.
From RotoBaller
Cleveland Browns running back Nick Chubb carried the ball 15 times for 39 yards and lost four yards on his lone reception in a 27-10 loss to the Los Angeles Chargers in Week 9. Chubb was quiet on an afternoon where the Browns fell behind early and had to pass the ball 46 times in comeback mode. The veteran tailback has struggled in his three games this season, posting just 113 yards and one touchdown on 42 carries. Settling in as an RB3 in fantasy, Chubb will be on bye in Week 10 before heading on the road to face off against the New Orleans Saints in Week 11.
From RotoBaller
Cleveland Browns running back Jerome Ford carried the ball twice for five yards while catching one of his three targets for two yards in a 27-10 loss to the Los Angeles Chargers in Week 9. Ford returned to the field after missing the previous two games with a hamstring injury but was hardly used as Nick Chubb dominated the backfield work with 15 carries. Ford was an early-season value in fantasy but his lack of usage in the passing game in Week 9's lopsided loss is concerning as he operates as the team's third-down back when Chubb is active. He does not need to remain rostered in redraft leagues heading into a Week 10 bye.
From RotoBaller
Atlanta Falcons running back Bijan Robinson rushed 19 times for 86 yards and led his team in receptions for the second straight week after reeling in seven passes for 59 yards in Sunday's 27-21 victory over the Cowboys. The only thing missing was a touchdown, which was vultured by fellow back Tyler Allgeier who had just six carries on the day for 18 yards. The 22-year-old now has four consecutive games with over 100 total yards rushing and receiving, hovering right around the top five RBs for fantasy through the season's first nine weeks. Robinson's Week 10 opponent, the New Orleans Saints, just allowed two rushing touchdowns to Carolina's Chuba Hubbard on Sunday, totaling 10 rushing scores allowed on the season by New Orleans, which is tied for fourth-most in the NFL. With his continued involvement in the passing game, now with the second-most receptions (38) behind only Alvin Kamara (46), Robinson has a high weekly floor and is looking like an RB1 again next Sunday.
