Fantasy Injury Updates: Is Marquise Brown playing Sunday night? Is Julian Edelman playing Sunday night? image

Players who are "questionable" heading into prime-time matchups are always start 'em, sit 'em worries, especially when they have missed the past couple games. That's the situation for Baltimore's Marquise Brown ahead of Week 9's SNF Patriots-Ravens matchup. His counterpart, Julian Edelman, is on the opposite end of the spectrum -- he's always "questionable", but he always plays. Either way, you can bet fantasy owners will be looking for injury updates ahead of the official active/inactive report.

WEEK 9 NON-PPR RANKINGS:
Quarterback | Running back | Wide receiver | Tight end | D/ST | Kicker

Is Marquise Brown playing Sunday night?

UPDATE: Brown is officially ACTIVE.

Brown (ankle) hasn't played since Week 5, but after getting in limited practices this week, Ravens coach John Harbaugh said he expects Brown to play against the Patriots on Sunday night.

The talented rookie has been more good than bad this season, but a brutal matchup with Stephon Gilmore and the Patriots top-ranked defense awaits. He'll likely be out there if you need him -- and he could very well be Baltimore's most targeted receiver -- but he shouldn't be viewed as anything more than a boom-or-bust WR3. All things being equal, he's probably best left on fantasy benches.

WEEK 9 PPR RANKINGS: Running back Wide receiver | Tight end

Is Julian Edelman playing Sunday night?

UPDATE: Edelman is officially ACTIVE.

We go through this dance every week with Edelman (chest). He's always questionable; he always plays. There's no reason to expect any different this week against Baltimore.

WEEK 9 DFS LINEUPS:
Y! cash | Y! GPP | DK cash | DK GPP | FD cash | FD GPP

Edelman has had at least seven catches in four straight games and even scored twice last week. He's an easy call as a WR1 in PPR leagues.
