Carson Wentz News
Sunday, November 8, 5:44 AM
The Bills' defense is RotoBaller's 11th-ranked unit entering Week 9, when Buffalo will meet up with the Minnesota Vikings. Minnesota will send Carson Wentz onto the field for his second start of the season, as starting quarterback Kyler Murray is out with a hamstring injury. Wentz helped lead the Vikings to a Week 2 win over the Chicago Bears, completing just 11 of 20 passes for 143 yards, while he was held without a touchdown during the 9-3 victory. The Bills' defense is projected to score eight fantasy points against Minnesota on Monday night. Buffalo is coming off its best defensive effort of the season during a 36-10 win over the Baltimore Ravens last week. Buffalo limited Baltimore to just 144 total yards during the Week 8 triumph.

Justin Herbert News
Sunday, November 8, 3:21 PM
Los Angeles Chargers quarterback Justin Herbert (finger) exited a 44-22 loss in the fourth quarter with a left middle finger injury and did not return. According to Alex Insdorf of the Guilty As Charged Podcast, L.A. head coach Jim Harbaugh said after the contest that Herbert wanted to reenter the game, but Harbaugh made the decision to keep him on the sideline. The exact extent of the injury isn't known yet, but Harbaugh noted that it could potentially be a fracture. However, Insdorf also reported that Herbert said in his postgame remarks, "I'll do whatever I can to make sure I'm 100%," and that Herbert does not expect it to be an issue moving forward. Herbert completed 13 out of 23 passes for 193 yards, one touchdown and one interception against the Texans. DJ Uiagalelei entered the game at quarterback for the Chargers while Herbert was out, and he will likely be in line to start if Herbert is forced to miss time. With the loss to the Texans, the Chargers fell to 0-8 in the 2026 season.
