    Garrett Wilson caught 7-of-11 targets for 104 yards and a touchdown in the Jets’ Week 5 win over the Browns.

    The 100-yard effort was Wilson’s second in three weeks. It was no easy feat on a rainy afternoon in Jersey where Geno Smith completed only 17 passes. Wilson’s score was a 32-yarder where he spun out of a tackle for a catch-and-run house call. In addition to the 100-yard efforts, Wilson now has a score in three of his past four appearances. It’s like Wilson’s lost 2025 never happened, which is exactly what the Jets and fantasy managers were hoping for. A weekly fixture in the low-end WR1 ranks, Wilson has a Week 6 date with the Patriots.

    Wilson suffered a head injury last week and did not practice this week as he remained in the NFL’s concussion protocol. Look for Omar Cooper, Jr. and Adonai Mitchell to see more routes and targets against a tough KC secondary. Mitchell is likely to function as the team’s top wideout with Wilson sidelined.

    Wilson has not practiced this week and has now been ruled out for Sunday’s game against the Chiefs. Wilson has caught 43 passes for 527 yards and three touchdowns this season and saw 12 targets in last week’s loss to the Raiders. His absence means both Adonai Mitchell and Omar Cooper should see expanded roles, but both players will be hard to trust as anything more than WR3s against a stout Chiefs defense. In addition to Wilson, the Jets also ruled out LB Trevin Wallace (groin) for Week 9.

    Wilson did not practice on Wednesday and will go down as a DNP today as well. He is a long-shot to suit up for the Jets’ Week 9 game against the Chiefs. His absence will free up targets for Adonai Mitchell and Omar Cooper Jr. The two have alternated spike weeks and zeroes over their past two games. Now both should have stable fantasy floors for at least one game.
  • NYJ Wide Receiver #5
    He was officially a DNP for Wednesday’s practice. Wilson sustained a head injury in Week 8 against the Raiders and now appears to be a long shot for Week 9. Wilson this season has accounted for 27 percent of the Jets’ targets and 38 percent of the team’s air yards. His absence would make both Adonai Mitchell and Omar Cooper flex-viable for Week 9, along with Mason Taylor. Cooper is coming off a game in which he saw no targets while running a route on 75 percent of the Jets’ drop backs.

    Fresh off a three-target fiasco that prompted trade request denials from the Jets’ No. 1 wideout, Wilson was jammed the ball early and often. It was a clear, intentional commitment from Geno Smith and the Jets’ coaching staff. It still couldn’t prevent Wilson from once again getting out-shined by one of his positional mates, this time Adonai Mitchell. AD contributed an explosive 7/142/1 on nine looks. That’s now three 100-yard performances by Jets wideouts over the past three weeks with zero of them coming from Wilson. He still commands the most defensive attention, making life easier for Mitchell and rookie Omar Cooper Jr. Despite those frustrations and Wilson’s relative struggles, he will remain a must start for Week 9 against the Chiefs.

    Wilson told reporters this week that he hasn’t requested a trade. Now Schefter reports, citing a “well-placed” source, that there’s “no way” the Jets will trade the 26-year-old wide receiver before the trade deadline. Wilson was held to two catches and 26 yards in Week 7, but remains in the WR2 mix heading into Week 8’s matchup against the Raiders.

    Wilson said he loves it in New York. He then immediately added, “Do I love it more than I love winning? Nah, to be completely honest, but I’m hopeful.” It’s hard to blame Wilson. The Jets are 24-51 since drafting Wilson and he has routinely caught passes from some of the league’s worst quarterbacks. The offense has been better under Geno Smith this year, but the team is still struggling to win games. Wilson could likely force his way out of New York if he wanted to, but it sounds like he’s content to go down with the ship again this year.

    The Dolphins shut down Wilson, opting to let Omar Cooper Jr. and Mason Taylor beat them through the air. The duo combined for 177 yards and three touchdowns while Wilson was stuck with decoy duties. Wilson was spotted screaming at Geno Smith in the fourth quarter after Smith took a back-breaking sack on third down at the goal line. Wilson downplayed the altercation after the game, saying he was “collaborating” and then noting that he wasn’t even talking to Geno. He was. With several young players taking on larger roles in the Jets’ offense, Wilson’s role as the team’s unquestioned WR1 on the team has taken a hit. Still, he should at least stay in the fantasy WR2 mix for his Week 8 date with the Raiders.

    Wilson’s second quietest effort of the season came as he dealt with Christian Gonzalez’s stingy coverage and first-round rookie teammate Omar Cooper Jr. returning from his ankle injury. With Adonai Mitchell (finger) likely — hopefully — soon returning from his marathon absence, Wilson is set to have a lot more target competition in the Jets’ receiver corps, but those extra bodies should also create more space for the Jets’ No. 1. Wilson remains a high-end WR2 heading into next week’s plus matchup with the Dolphins.
  • NYJ Wide Receiver #5
    No one on the Jets offense got home for fantasy purposes as the Bears held on to the ball for several long drives in the second half. The Jets possessed the ball for just 17 minutes on the day. Wilson’s four targets led the New York offense, as Geno Smith was limited to a mere 15 pass attempts. Wilson continues to dominate air yards and targets in the Jets offense and should remain in all lineups next week against Cleveland.

    The Ringer’s Tom Pelissero reports the Colts won’t trade Jonathan Taylor before today’s trade deadline.

    Multiple teams, per Pelissero, offered a second-round pick. It sounds like Indianapolis was holding out for a first. Playing out the season in Indy, Taylor will likely retain RB1 value despite a gross situation. It should be noted that Seth McGowan had begun to cut into Taylor’s playing time a bit, but with the Colts now committed to Taylor for the short-term, it’s plausible that he’ll operate at a 70-75 percent of snaps player for the remainder of the season. McGowan retains contingency value in fantasy leagues but will not stumble into a major role barring injury.

    Jordan Schultz reports the Chargers “immediately shut down all inquiries” for Justin Herbert at the trade deadline.

    Schultz reports the Vikings called on Herbert, but the Chargers had no interest in moving on. It’s hard to understand what Herbert’s market value would have been — this has been one of the most disgusting outlier seasons for a previously good quarterback in recent memory — but the Chargers appear ready to move forward with him as their franchise quarterback.

    NFL on Prime’s James Palmer reports Kyler Murray (hamstring) is dealing with a grade 2 strain, is “week to week” and is expected to miss more time.

    In other words, Kirk Cousins could immediately slide in as the starting quarterback. As for Murray, he appears safe to drop in most formats. Call of Duty released on October 23. Not sure why that appeared in this post, but we seem to be unable to backspace it.

    ESPN’s Adam Schefter reports Fernando Mendoza will take over as Raiders starter following the trade of Kirk Cousins to Minnesota.

    We’re sure we’ll get something more official from the team once Klint Kubiak has a press conference, but this is the obvious move. The No. 1 overall pick will face a gauntlet in his first three games, starting with the defending champion Seahawks in Week 10. It’s not an immediate re-draft add situations outside of deep leagues, but Mendoza could eventually factor into the re-draft formula this season.

    Vikings acquired QB Kirk Cousins from the Raiders for a 2027 third-round pick.

    And where did that bring you? Back to me. Cousins will likely take over as Minnesota’s starting quarterback in the near future, if not immediately. When that happens, Kyler Murray will head back to the bench for a second straight season — he’s droppable in most leagues at this point. Fernando Mendoza will take over as starting quarterback for the Raiders. Mendoza is best approached cautiously at this point in fantasy leagues. Cousins’ value likely remains stagnant — Klint Kubiak was already getting quite a bit out of him — but he provides the Vikings with a better floor at quarterback than what they were getting so it’s obvious after watching Carson Wentz play last night why this is happening.

    Bills acquired S Amani Hooker and a 2027 fifth-round pick from the Titans for a 2027 second-round pick.

    It’s not Budda Baker, but Hooker has a respectable 81.0 PFF defensive grade in 495 snaps this season and has always helped as a run defender. The second-round pick is a steep price to pay and it’s quite a coup for the Titans to get that kind of return, even if they had to throw in another pick to get it done. This is all about solidifying Buffalo’s defense for a Super Bowl run for the Bills.

    49ers acquired WR Keenan Allen from the Colts for a 2027 sixth-round pick.

    Just what the 49ers needed: To get older at the skill positions. With Christian Kirk gone, Allen figures to fill a role for the 49ers and could still be fantasy relevant depending on Mike Evans’ health. It does seem unlikely he’ll draw the same sort of targets as he had been handling for the Colts, but the targets should be more effective. The Colts signed Allen off the street in August and flipped him for something as they realized they were going nowhere, so they’ve done well for themselves here. The wideout vacuum in Indianapolis may draw players like Ashton Dulin into fantasy consideration, especially if Josh Downs also moves later today.

    ESPN’s Adam Schefter reports Kirk Cousins is a “prime trade candidate” for the Vikings ahead of today’s trade deadline.

    This would, of course, have multiple fantasy impacts. Fernando Mendoza would take over as Las Vegas’ starting quarterback if Cousins were traded, and Kyler Murray would likely take a backseat to Cousins sooner rather than later in Minnesota.
