Pittsburgh Steelers quarterback Aaron Rodgers (hand) appeared to suffer a hand injury during warmups ahead of Sunday's Week 9 contest against the Indianapolis Colts, according to Ari Meirov of The 33rd Team. CBS Sports video showed Rodgers wincing and shaking his hand, with an emphasis on his right pinkie finger. If the veteran quarterback's throwing hand is injured, it could have an impact on his performance on Sunday. However, he continued to warm up without much issue and should be fine to play against the Colts. He remains a mid-to-high QB2 for fantasy purposes.

Houston Texans wide receiver Christian Kirk is set to return in Week 9 from a two-game absence due to a hamstring injury, but he steps into a brutal matchup against the Broncos, who have allowed the second-fewest wide receiver fantasy points this season. Kirk has missed two games on two occasions this season with hamstring issues, and in his three healthy contests has totaled 10 catches on 16 targets for 109 yards. The Texans have young receivers who stepped up while Kirk was out, so it will be very interesting to see how the veteran works back into the mix on Sunday. He is the WR58 in RotoBaller's rankings for Week 9, so he's tough to start in most formats unless bye weeks and injuries have you desperate for PPR production.
