# Michael Moore: In a Week 9 injury roundup, Moore forecast which banged-up fantasy contributors would play or sit: Deshaun Watson, Garrett Wilson, David Montgomery, Mike Evans, Deebo Samuel, TreVeyon Henderson and Terrance Ferguson are expected out, while Travis Kelce, Saquon Barkley, Michael Wilson, Christian Watson and Emeka Egbuka should play. He also expects Shedeur Sanders and Drew Lock to start at quarterback. **Claimed:** Nov 6, 2026 **Pundit:** Michael Moore — https://missedtakes.co/pundits/michael-moore **Outlet:** FantasyPros — https://missedtakes.co/outlets/fantasypros **How it reached us:** published in writing **Original:** https://www.fantasypros.com/2026/11/20-injuries-to-know-for-week-9-2026-fantasy-football/ 17 checkable claims — 15 availability calls and 2 depth chart calls — each graded on its own rather than as one all-or-nothing call. It names 27 players and teams, each linked to their own record. 1 of 17 have settled so far, averaging 100 out of 100, against 100 for a naive guess at the same calls. Of the 1 unsettled call enough other pundits have weighed in on, this one lands below the rest of the room. > Two no-shows in practice this week almost guarantee Garrett Wilson will miss Week 9. *(their words, quoted for attribution)* ## The claims - **Shedeur Sanders to be 1st on the depth chart** - Kind: Depth Chart Calls · About: Shedeur Sanders, Cleveland Browns - Verdict: scored 100 out of 100, against 100 for a naive guess - **David Montgomery's groin injury will keep him out of his fourth straight game** - Kind: Availability Calls · About: David Montgomery, Houston Texans - Verdict: not settled yet - **he put in a full practice before the end of the week, so he should be good to go (Week 9)** - Kind: Availability Calls · About: Travis Kelce, Kansas City Chiefs - Verdict: not settled yet - **Until Henderson gets back to the practice field, assume he's a no-go.
