Fantasy Impact: Williams signed a one-year deal with the Jets in the offseason. He struggled early in the season and as soon as the Jets traded for Davante Adams, his potential opportunity went out the window. He could see some more involvement in Pittsburgh. He is going to remain a big play dependent wide receiver for fantasy managers.

Patriots WR K.J. Osborn has been involved in trade talks over the past couple of weeks. (Source: Jordan Schultz on Twitter)

Fantasy Impact: Osborn is a trade target for some teams ahead of Tuesday's deadline. He is likely to remain off the fantasy radar.

The Buccaneers' D/ST logged four sacks and one fumble recovery while allowing 30 points in Monday night's overtime loss to the Kansas City Chiefs.

Fantasy Impact: Tampa Bay's defense struggled on Monday night. They only logged four sacks and one turnover on the night, and they also allowed the Chiefs to march down the field with ease to win the game in overtime. This unit should not be started in a tough matchup against the 49ers in Week 10.

Chase McLaughlin made his lone field goal attempt and converted 3-of-3 extra point attempts in Monday's 30-24 OT loss to the Kansas City Chiefs.

Fantasy Impact: McLaughlin did all he could on Monday night. He made all four of his kicks, but it wasn't enough for the Buccaneers to bring home a win over the Chiefs. He should continue to be a pretty good fantasy option at the position moving forward.

Ryan Miller caught one pass for one yard and a touchdown in Monday's 30-24 overtime loss to the Kansas City Chiefs.

Fantasy Impact: Miller saw three targets on Monday night, and he was able to catch one of them on the goal line for a touchdown. This was his first score of the season, and he remains firmly off of the fantasy radar for the foreseeable future.

Sean Tucker rushed the ball three times for 11 yards and caught one pass for six yards in Monday's 30-24 overtime loss to the Kansas City Chiefs.

Fantasy Impact: The Buccaneers have expressed an interest in getting Tucker more touches, but they weren't able to do that on Monday night. He saw just four opportunities over the course of the night and failed to do anything notable with them. He remains off of the fantasy radar for the time being.

Trey Palmer caught just two passes for 33 yards in Monday's 30-24 overtime loss to the Kansas City Chiefs.

Fantasy Impact: Palmer had a good opportunity to produce on Monday night with Mike Evans (hamstring), Chris Godwin (ankle), and Jalen McMillan (hamstring) all unavailable to play for the Bucs, but he wasn't able to take advantage of it. He ended the game with just two catches, so unless something drastic changes in the near future, fantasy managers shouldn't have much hope for his season-long outlook.

Sterling Shepard caught four passes for 48 yards and rushed the ball two times for 21 yards in Monday's 30-24 OT loss to the Kansas City Chiefs.

Fantasy Impact: Shepard had to step up and play a bigger role with Tampa Bay missing several other wide receivers on Monday night. He ended up having a solid performance, totaling 69 yards on just six touches. He doesn't have much fantasy value but is an important asset for the Buccaneers in real life right now.

Cade Otton caught 8-of-11 targets for 77 yards and a touchdown in Monday night's 30-24 overtime loss to the Kansas City Chiefs.

Fantasy Impact: Otton has emerged as Baker Mayfield's favorite target on the offense with several key wide receivers injured right now. He had another good showing on Monday night, leading the team in targets, receptions, and receiving yards while also getting into the end zone. He should continue to be a good fantasy option for however long Mike Evans (hamstring) remains out of Tampa Bay's lineup.

Bucky Irving rushed the ball seven times for 24 yards and caught three passes for ten yards in Monday's 30-24 OT loss to the Kansas City Chiefs.

Fantasy Impact: The rookie had one of his worst showings of the season on Monday night. He totaled just 34 yards in a loss to the Chiefs, and he wasn't able to do much outside of that to make up for it. He has a tough matchup against the 49ers in Week 10, so fantasy managers might have to make a tough decision about starting him next week.

Rachaad White rushed the ball three times for 19 yards and a touchdown and caught three passes for 16 yards in Monday's 30-24 OT loss to the Kansas City Chiefs.

Fantasy Impact: The game script didn't really favor White on Monday. He saw just three carries on the night, but he was able to get into the end zone on one of them, which helped to salvage his fantasy total. He has high upside on a week-to-week basis, but his floor is somewhat low, especially with the emergence of rookie Bucky Irving.

Jonathan Mingo has been traded from the Carolina Panthers to the Dallas Cowboys. (Source: Tom Pelissero on X)

Fantasy Impact: The Panthers' 2023 second-round pick is on the move after his limited involvement in Carolina's offense. Mingo only amassed 55 catches for 539 yards in his year and a half in Carolina, and will look to make a fresh start in Dallas. With Dak Prescott likely heading to IR, Mingo will likely not be fantasy relevant. On the Panthers' side, rookie undrafted free agent Jalen Coker could see an increased snap share and role in the offense after flashing in Weeks 8 and 9.

Baker Mayfield completed 23-of-31 passing attempts for 200 yards and two touchdowns in Monday's 30-24 overtime loss to the Kansas City Chiefs.

Fantasy Impact: Mayfield is currently working without his two top wide receivers, but he was still able to have a decent game on Monday. He threw two touchdowns and didn't record a turnover against the Chiefs, and he would've had a shot to win the game in overtime if the Bucs' defense could've logged a stop. Fantasy managers shouldn't be excited to start him at least until Mike Evans (hamstring) makes his return to the lineup.

The Chiefs' D/ST logged just two sacks and allowed 24 points in Monday's overtime win over the Tampa Bay Buccaneers.

Fantasy Impact: Tampa Bay's offense was short-handed on Monday night, but the Chiefs' defense wasn't able to take advantage of that. They logged just two sacks over the course of the day and failed to record a single turnover. The Chiefs were still able to pick up the win, however, and this unit should bounce back in a matchup against the Broncos next week.
