WEEK 9 · FAAB FIELD GUIDE
A return window is not an activation.
Our editorial planning range: 0–2% of your starting budget. Use the role and roster conditions below before bidding.
PUT IT IN YOUR BUDGET
12-team PPR redraft; one QB unless Superflex is selected. Percentages refer to the original season budget. Your remaining funds limit what you can actually spend.
Ferguson remains on injured reserve in the verified November 3 ESPN snapshot. A possible return to practice does not confirm game availability. This is a conditional stash guide, not a recommendation to start him in Week 9.
Pass if you need immediate TE points or cannot hold an uncertain return on your bench. Check your league’s IR and transaction rules.
Consider the higher range only after activation, a credible receiving role and a clear roster need are confirmed.
Starting budget: $100 · Remaining: $100
WHAT YOU ARE BUYING
Ferguson remains on injured reserve in the verified November 3 ESPN snapshot. A possible return to practice does not confirm game availability. This is a conditional stash guide, not a recommendation to start him in Week 9.
Ownership across leagues does not tell us whether he is free in yours. A big game can create demand without creating a lasting job. Compare expected opportunities, the weeks you need covered and the value of the player you would drop.
Consider the higher range only after activation, a credible receiving role and a clear roster need are confirmed.
Pass if you need immediate TE points or cannot hold an uncertain return on your bench. Check your league’s IR and transaction rules. An unused bench upgrade is worth less than a player who actually changes your starting lineup.

Week 9, 2026 edition reviewed November 3. Public FF PPR forecasts and availability load with this page. Week 8 actuals are from our saved completed Thursday/Sunday ESPN snapshot. Ownership is a November 3 ESPN snapshot and may change; a player being widely rostered is not evidence he is available in your league. Private league data and direct API outputs are not published.
