  • Garrett Wilson WR | NYJ

    Jets' Garrett Wilson: Being evaluated, getting MRI

    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."

  • Jets' John Metchie: Two touches in Jets debut

    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.

  • Jaguars' Austin Trammell: Secures first catches of 2025

    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.

  • Arian Smith WR | NYJ

    Jets' Arian Smith: Leads Jets WRs in Week 10 snaps

    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.

  • Josh Downs WR | IND

    Colts' Josh Downs: Falls back to earth in Week 10

    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.

  • Texans' Braxton Berrios: Minimal playing time in win

    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.

  • Texans' Xavier Hutchinson: Untargeted in win

    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.

  • Jaylin Noel WR | HOU

    Texans' Jaylin Noel: Bounces back in win

    Noel caught all four of his targets for 35 yards and returned one punt for eight yards in Sunday's 36-29 win over the Jaguars in Week 10.

    Noel was more involved Sunday than in Week 9, when he played just 11 offensive snaps and went untargeted, but that performance looks like a outlier. Other than last week's shutout, Noel has at least four catches and four targets in three of the last four games.

  • Christian Kirk WR | HOU

    Texans' Christian Kirk: Quiet day in win

    Kirk caught one of three targets for three yards in Sunday's 36-29 win over Jacksonville in Week 10.

    The veteran slot receiver had a subdued effort in the win, and his 32 snaps were fewer than rookie Jayden Higgins, who had seven targets, five catches and a red-zone touchdown on 43 snaps. The Texans' other rookie wideout, Jaylin Noel (four targets, four catches, 35 yards), also outproduced Kirk over 25 snaps. It's been an unremarkable first season in Houston for Kirk, who missed four games with a pair of hamstring injuries. He's yet to find the end zone while failing to record more than 26 yards in four of five games played.

  • Jamari Thrash WR | CLE

    Browns' Jamari Thrash: Targeted once in loss

    Thrash couldn't haul in his lone target in Sunday's 27-20 loss to the Jets in Week 10.

    Cedric Tillman's return from the injured list impacted several of Cleveland's depth wideouts including Thrash, who had multiple targets over the previous three games. The Browns' passing game is not at a point where it can feed multiple receivers with ample targets, meaning players like Thrash, Malachi Corley (one target) and Gage Larvadain (one) should not offer much fantasy value.
