• More changes to the Houston Texans linebacker corps: Blake Cashman continues to lead the way while the rest of the linebackers shuffle in Houston.
• Nakobe Dean is hurt again: Find out what this could mean for the Philadelphia Eagles linebacker corps.
• Tampa Bay Buccaneers safety gets demoted: Ryan Neal had a career year in 2022 but 2023 hasn’t been kind to him as he’s now lost his starting role and can be dropped from most IDP lineups.

Week 9 Takeaways
Be sure to check out last week’s waiver wire targets here as well.
Waiver wire
- ED James Smith-Williams/Casey Toohill: Toohill and Smith-Williams played sizable roles with Chase Young and Montez Sweat traded away, though they aren’t nearly as competent as Young and Sweat. Both players would be depth pieces and only started in IDP lineups for volume and ideal matchups.
- LB Kwon Alexander/Elandon Roberts, Pittsburgh Steelers: Alexander became the team’s lead linebacker when Cole Holcomb went down, though he wasn’t efficient in this game. Roberts will also see a slight bump in playing time and has been a very efficient IDP this season (20.0% tackle efficiency). Relying on snaps, though, Alexander should be considered first priority on waiver wires.
- LB Tyrel Dodson, Buffalo Bills: Dodson would move into more of a full-time role if Terrel Bernard cannot clear the concussion protocol prior to Monday night’s game. Dorian Williams feels more likely to play a part-time role as Buffalo continues to utilize more three-safety looks.
- LB Isaiah McDuffie, Green Bay Packers: With Quay Walker inactive this week after dealing with an injury in practice late last week, McDuffie stepped back into a starting role and can be trusted in IDP lineups should Walker miss any more time.
- LB Segun Olubi, Indianapolis Colts: Olubi was the Colts' lone every-down linebacker this week with Zaire Franklin (knee) out of the lineup. Olubi had previously played just nine defensive snaps in the NFL. While he wasn’t particularly productive this week, should Franklin miss any more time, he would be a player to add in most leagues.
- LB Christian Rozeboom, Los Angeles Rams: Rozeboom can be considered a speculative add for deep leagues because Ernest Jones was unable to play this week due to a knee injury despite working back up to a full-time workload in Week 8. Rozeboom led the Rams linebackers, though not in a full-time role this week. The Rams have a Week 10 bye so it’s possible that Jones is back for Week 11 given the extra week of rest.
- LB Zach Cunningham/Nicholas Morrow: Both Cunningham and Morrow should be more reliable in IDP lineups if Nakobe Dean misses more time. Without an obvious third linebacker to cut into their playing time, it’s likely that both Cunningham and Morrow will play enough IDP-relevant snaps for as long as Dean is out.
- S Alex Cook, Carolina Panthers: Cook played his first NFL snaps this week and was a full-time player for the Panthers at safety. He finished second on the team in total tackles (seven) and can be considered for deeper leagues. Sam Franklin was relegated to special teams only this week.
- Anthony Johnson Jr., Green Bay Packers: Rudy Ford missed this week’s game due to injury, which allowed seventh-round rookie Johnson to get his first NFL start. Johnson had an interception in his debut and would be a deep-league add should Ford miss more time.
- DeAndre Houston-Carson, Houston Texans: Houston-Carson replaced Jimmie Ward (hamstring) in a full-time role and can have some value in deeper leagues should Ward miss any time.

- Point of interest: Montez Sweat played his first game as a Chicago Bear after being traded from the Washington Commanders at the trade deadline. Sweat did manage three pressures, but his pass-rush metrics continue to be underwhelming, and as pointed out in this past week’s IDP rankings article, could create some production issues on a weaker defensive line than what he was used to in Washington.

- Trending up: After making last week’s waiver wire targets, Bell continues to improve his stock as he led the Cowboys linebackers in snaps this week, putting together a strong day of production as a result.

- Rookie watch: Will Anderson landed his first sack since Week 1, ending his six-game skid and bringing him to two on the year. Anderson hasn’t been a must-start fantasy asset so far as a rookie, but there is still plenty to like about the 2023 third-overall pick, especially for dynasty leagues.

| Henry To'oTo'o | 19.7% | 18.4% | 23.5% | 23.1% | 3 |
- Trending down: Henry To’oTo’o dropped to the bottom of the Texans’ linebacker depth chart this week, as his rookie struggles continue. To’oTo’o has managed just a 42.1 defensive grade this year and has given up three touchdowns in coverage, two of which came in this game on limited snaps.
- Point of interest: The rest of the Texans linebackers were more involved this week at To’oTo’o’s expense, but Blake Cashman did see a dip in snap share, which is going to be a concern if it happens again next week. Houston may just be looking to deploy a heavier rotation among the group this year.

- Waiver wire: DeAndre Houston-Carson replaced Ward in a full-time role and can have some value in deeper leagues should Ward miss any time.

| E.J. Speed | 45.1% | 25.0% | 100.0% | 12.5% | 4 |
- Waiver wire: Segun Olubi was the lone every-down linebacker for the Colts this week with Zaire Franklin (knee) out of the lineup. Olubi had previously played just nine defensive snaps in the NFL. While he wasn’t particularly productive this week, should Franklin miss any more time, he would be a player to add in most leagues.

- Point of interest: Kenny Moore, our No. 1-ranked IDP cornerback heading into this week, delivered two pick-sixes in this game leading to another massively productive fantasy day. Moore’s 61 total tackles this year also lead the position and has been a locked-in IDP starter again in 2023.

- Point of interest: Leo Chenal out-snapped Willie Gay for the second-straight game, but it’s worth noting that Gay has been dealing with a back injury that has kept him limited in practices leading up to the game. The Chiefs have a bye week in Week 10 which will give him more time to rest up and heal and potentially take back his LB2 role in this defense.

- Point of interest: Amari Burney made the waiver wire list last week and with both Luke Masterson and Divine Deablo out, he played the second-most snaps among the Raiders linebackers. Jaylon Smith also saw work in his first game as a Raider. It’s likely that either Masterson, Deablo, or both will be back next week which would make Burney droppable.

- Waiver wire: Christian Rozeboom can be considered a speculative add for deep leagues, as Ernest Jones was unable to play this week due to a knee injury despite working back up to a full-time workload in Week 8. Rozeboom led the Rams linebackers, though not in a full-time role this week. The Rams have a Week 10 bye so it’s possible that Jones is back for Week 11 given the extra week of rest.

- Injury: Nakobe Dean suffered yet another foot injury in this game. He left in the second quarter and did not return.
- Waiver wire: Both Zach Cunningham and Nicholas Morrow should be more reliable in IDP lineups if Dean misses more time. Without an obvious third linebacker to cut into their playing time, it’s likely that both Cunningham and Morrow will play enough IDP-relevant snaps for as long as Dean is out.

- Injury: Cole Holcomb suffered a significant knee injury during this game and landed on injured reserve this week.
- Waiver wire: Kwon Alexander became the team’s lead linebacker when Holcomb went down, though he wasn’t very efficient in this game. Elandon Roberts will also see a slight bump in playing time and has been a very efficient IDP this season (20.0% tackle efficiency). Relying on snaps, though, Alexander should be considered first priority on waiver wires.

Mafe has been a steady IDP starter, and his 77.7 pass-rush grade (21st among EDs) should give fantasy managers confidence that he can be trusted in most lineups.

| Ryan Neal | 27.8% | 5.0% | 5.0% | 25.0% | 45.0% | 20.0% |
- Trending down: Ryan Neal had his playing time cut down significantly in this game as Dee Delaney saw more work at the safety position. Neal has struggled significantly this season in Tampa Bay with a 35.1 coverage grade that ranks 92nd among 93 qualifying safeties on the year. Neal should not be trusted in any IDP lineups next week and is likely droppable in most formats.

- Waiver wire: Casey Toohill and James Smith-Williams played sizable roles with Chase Young and Montez Sweat traded away, though they aren’t nearly the quality of player that Young and Sweat are. Both players would be depth pieces and only started in IDP lineups for volume and ideal matchups.

- Rookie watch: Jartavius Martin, the Commanders' second-round pick this year, played a career-high 15 defensive snaps and came up with his first NFL interception. Martin isn’t playing nearly enough to trust in IDP lineups but could be the next man up should something happen to Kamren Curl or Percy Butler with Darrick Forrest and Jeremy Reaves already on injured reserve.
