In NFL Week 9, the New York Jets will be without wide receiver Allen Lazard, while the Houston Texans have placed Stefon Diggs on injured reserve, leaving Tank Dell as their top receiver. This changes the dynamics for both teams' passing games. Quarterbacks Jayden Daniels and Derek Carr are both dealing with injuries but are expected to play. Meanwhile, several other players, including Tee Higgins and DK Metcalf, are questionable for their matchups, impacting fantasy lineups. Weather conditions may affect the Packers-Lions game, with rain expected in Green Bay. The Lions are favored, and their running backs could see increased usage if the weather impacts passing efficiency.
