Matthew Berry, Michelle Beadle, and Mo open with Baltimore’s disappointing offense, weighing what the performance means for Zay Flowers, Jacoby Brissett, and Derrick Henry.

Stefania Bell’s injury report centers on Christian McCaffrey’s cautious return, Emeka Egbuka’s foot, Cam Skattebo’s hamstring, and Saints players coming off injured reserve.
The episode closes with Week Nine picks, but its sharper takeaway is that role changes and health uncertainty are reshaping fantasy value before Sunday arrives.
