2026 NFL Power Rankings Week 9: Broncos, Bears Make Moves After Big Wins

Jake Bates - Misses field goal in win Bates made two of his three field-goal attempts and his sole PAT in the Lions' 19-15 win over the Vikings on Sunday.

Impact Bates converted field goals from 25 yards and 37 yards while missing a 46-yarder in the third quarter off the left upright. The kicker is now 12-for-13 on field-goal attempts and a perfect 23-for-23 on PATs through seven regular-season games in 2026.

D.J. Reed - Set to miss Wednesday's practice Reed (hip) is not expected to practice Wednesday, Nolan Bianchi of The Detroit News reports.

Impact Reed suffered a hip injury late in the fourth quarter of Sunday's game against the Vikings and did not return to the contest. The cornerback's injury appears to be significant enough for Coach Dan Campbell to make a prediction about his Wednesday status. It remains unclear whether or not the starting cornerback will participate in any practice sessions ahead of the team's Week 9 game against the Dolphins.

Impact Mays missed the first five games of the season while recovering from a fractured wrist and is now in danger of missing additional time. Juice Scruggs will likely take over as the team's starting center while Mays is sidelined.

Overreaction Monday: Time For Cowboys To Make Big Changes? Bo Nix Is Mr. Clutch?

Sione Vaki - Totals 70 yards in win over Minnesota Vaki rushed 11 times for 65 yards in Sunday's 19-15 win over the Vikings. He added one catch for five yards on one target.

Impact With Jared Goff struggling against the Vikings' blitz-heavy defense, the Lions dished out 34 carries to Jahmyr Gibbs and Vaki. It was Vaki's most extensive action of the season, and coach Dan Campbell said afterward that the Lions' RB2 took a "big step" and earned a lot of trust with his performance, according to Nolan Bianchi of The Detroit News. It's unclear if that will translate to more opportunities, but it's clear Vaki has cemented himself as Gibbs' backup and a quality bench stash in fantasy leagues.

Sam LaPorta - Quiet in Week 8 win LaPorta caught three of five targets for 33 yards in Sunday's 19-15 win over the Vikings. He added two rushing yards on one attempt.

Impact After being limited to 1-18-0 on two targets in last Sunday's victory over the Packers, LaPorta remained quiet in a second straight divisional matchup with a formidable defense. A Week 9 date with the Dolphins will present a get-right spot for the tight end, who has 31 grabs for 367 yards and three touchdowns through seven games this season. LaPorta will be a locked-in TE1 play against Miami.

Jameson Williams - Game-winning TD in divisional clash Williams brought in four of six targets for 70 yards and a touchdown in the Lions' 19-15 win over the Vikings on Sunday.

Impact Williams ended up leading the Lions in receiving yards on the day while checking in second to Amon-Ra St. Brown in receptions and targets. The fourth-year speedster also delivered the biggest catch of the day, recording a seven-yard touchdown grab with 4:35 remaining that proved to be the game-winning score. Williams has recorded all five of his touchdown receptions on the season within the last three games, and he has at least Sunday's yardage tally in three of the last four heading into a Week 9 road matchup against the Dolphins.

Jared Goff - Clutch TD toss in win Goff completed 18 of 25 passes for 176 yards with a touchdown and an interception and added three carries for no gain in the Lions' 19-15 win over the Vikings on Sunday.

Impact Goff unsurprisingly saw his production limited by the Vikings' aggressive defense, and he took four sacks overall while also tossing his first interception of the season. The veteran signal-caller also saw a 24-yard first-quarter scoring strike to Amon-Ra St. Brown overturned on replay, but Goff's beautifully thrown seven-yard TD pass to Jameson Williams in the left corner of the end zone with 4:35 remaining turned out to be the difference in the game. Goff will take 1,964 passing yards and a 15:1 TD:INT into a Week 9 road matchup against the Dolphins next Sunday.
