Brown failed to secure his only target during Sunday's 36-29 loss to the Texans.

The 26-year-old suffered a concussion in Week 9 against the Raiders but was able to clear the concussion protocol without missing a game. Even with Brian Thomas (ankle) and Travis Hunter (knee) sidelined Sunday, Brown played just 21 offensive snaps and was held without a catch for the first time in eight contests this year.

Williams caught his only target for four yards in Sunday's 27-20 win over the Browns. He also returned five punts for 126 yards and a touchdown and had a 23-yard kickoff return.

Just 36 seconds of game time after Kene Nwangwu got the Jets on the board with a 99-yard kickoff-return touchdown, Williams gave the home team a 14-7 first-quarter lead with a 74-yard punt-return touchdown. Williams also tied for second on the Jets in receiving yards with four, but that's more of an indictment on the team's Justin Fields-led passing offense than a compliment to Williams' performance on offense.

Johnson didn't catch his only target in Sunday's 27-20 win over the Browns.

Johnson led the Jets in receiving yards each of their previous two games but was a non-factor in Sunday's unusual win, which was fueled by a pair of touchdowns on special teams. Garrett Wilson (knee) departed the game in his return from a two-game absence, and Wilson could join Josh Reynolds (hip) on the sidelines Thursday against the Patriots. That would give Johnson another opportunity to step up in Week 11, though recent additions Adonai Mitchell and John Metchie could also take on bigger roles.

Jets coach Aaron Glenn said Monday that Wilson (knee) is still having his injury evaluated and will undergo an MRI, Al Iannazzone of Newsday reports.

Wilson returned to action Week 10 despite being initially listed as questionable with a knee injury that had sidelined him since Week 6. It's unclear whether his current knee issue is an aggravation or a new occurrence, but testing on the Jets' No. 1 wideout's knee should provide some clarity. Wilson did not secure any of his three targets before exiting versus Cleveland, and at this stage his status has to be considered up in the air for Thursday's divisional contest against the Patriots. Per Rich Cimini of ESPN.com, Glenn said Wilson will "hopefully" be able to play Thursday but "I don't want to stamp that just yet."

Metchie caught his only target for three yards and rushed once for minus-7 yards in Sunday's 27-20 win over the Browns.

Metchie tied for the team lead in receptions in his Jets debut as Justin Fields completed only six passes, while Garrett Wilson (knee) exited early. Fellow recent trade acquisition Adonai Mitchell was inactive for Sunday's win, and even if Mitchell suits up Thursday against the Patriots, Metchie's role is more likely to grow than shrink as he gains familiarity with the playbook. Metchie played eight snaps Sunday.

Trammell caught two of three targets for 33 yards during Sunday's 36-29 loss to the Texans.

The 27-year-old made his season debut last week in Las Vegas and failed to catch his lone target, but he was more involved in the passing game Sunday. Trammell played just eight offensive snaps, however, so he shouldn't be expected to have a significant role moving forward even if Brian Thomas (ankle) misses more time.

Smith wasn't targeted and had a 13-yard run in Sunday's 27-20 win over the Browns.

Smith's 67 percent snap share led all Jets wide receivers in a game Garrett Wilson (knee) exited early, but the rookie fourth-round pick didn't see significant involvement as Justin Fields completed only six passes. Smith's run tied a 13-yard Fields scamper for the Jets' longest offensive play by anyone other than Breece Hall. If Wilson doesn't play Thursday against the Patriots, Smith would be in line for significant playing time, though that hasn't translated to many targets in the Jets' run-first offense.

Downs secured one of two targets for three yards during the Colts' 31-25 overtime win over the Falcons on Sunday.

Downs took a clear back seat to Michael Pittman and Alec Pierce, as well as rookie tight end Tyler Warren, during Indianapolis' victory in Berlin, a disappointing outcome given that he had scored in three consecutive appearances prior to Week 10. The Colts are headed into a bye, so Downs' next chance to bounce back will come in Kansas City in Week 12. Even after a disappointing outing, Downs retains solid fantasy value, especially in PPR formats.

Berrios was untargeted and returned one kickoff for 32 yards in Sunday's 36-29 win over Jacksonville in Week 10.

Berrios, who battled through a chest injury during the preparation for Week 10, was on the field for one snap on offense and five on special teams. The return of injured wideouts like Christian Kirk have marginalized Berrios, who has played just one snap on offense that last two games.

Hutchinson was not targeted over 40 snaps in Sunday's 36-29 win over Jacksonville in Week 10.

Houston's passing game remains in flux with quarterback Davis Mills stepping in for C.J. Stroud (concussion). That limited Hutchinson to zero targets for the first time in nine games. Hutchinson's third season in the NFL has been his most productive, but the team's passing attack has been inconsistent in 2025.
