Fellow backup Isaiah Trufant is also likely out, so depth will be a small issue for the Jets if one of their top corners goes down. Overall, their absences shouldn’t have much of an impact against the Dolphins.

Henry was third on the team in targets and caught one of Drake Maye’s four touchdown tosses on the day. Henry has seen better involvement in the Pats offense of late; against the Bills in Week 4 he caught all five of his targets for 62 yards. The resurgence of the Patriots passing attack has made Henry viable as a streaming option. He’ll be in play next week against the Jets.

The Steelers seemed worried about the Colts’ pass rush today, so there were a lot of quick-hit passes from Rodgers. The vast majority of them went to running backs or tight ends. Only nine of Rodgers’ 22 completions went to wide receivers, and 80 of his 235 passing yards came on a short pass to Jaylen Warren that the running back took up the sideline for a long touchdown. That’s not to say Rodgers didn’t play well. He did a good job avoiding sacks and not taking negative plays, but the Steelers’ offense didn’t look very potent outside of two explosive plays from Jaylen Warren. They may find things a little bit tougher against the Bucs next week.

If you’re thinking all Dalton Schultz lines have started to blur together, you’re not wrong. He’s had eight catches for 69 yards since his Week 2 explosion against the Bengals. There’s not much upside here, but at least he’s providing a safe TE2 floor for those of you who get five points per TE reception.

Douglas had his first two touchdown grabs of the season as Drake Maye sliced and diced a lifeless Vegas defense from start to finish. Douglas was wide open standing in the end zone by himself for his first score, and broke out of a bunch formation inside the ten yard line for his second score. Douglas has run significant routes in the New England offense since A.J. Brown (ankle) went down to injury. When Brown returns — perhaps this week — Douglas will take on a smaller role in the Pats pass game. He should remain on waiver wires in most formats.

He led the team in receiving and didn’t have any contested drops today, so that’s a step up from where he’s been most of the year. Still, he played just 27-of-65 snaps. Kayshon Boutte (39-of-65) would be our main target as Houston’s third receiver if we thought the offense was good enough to warrant that kind of respect; they aren’t.

Jones had been seeing elite workloads ever since Jordan Mason was placed on IR with a thumb injury. He hadn’t done all that much with the opportunities but finally got going downhill today. Jones ran right over a New Orleans defender for a short touchdown early in the fourth quarter. He then salted the game away with a handful of chunk gains late in the contest. Mason is eligible to return after the Vikings’ Week 6 bye, so this may be the last we’ve seen of Jones in a three-down role for now.

Noel added a one-yard carry that made him the team’s leader in wideout touches. His touchdown came as C.J. Stroud extended the play by spinning backwards out of the pocket and floated towards the end zone before delivering a strike to Noel. He still played just 30 of 65 snaps, but there’s a commitment to touches for Noel that seems fantasy-interesting, at least ahead of any Marvin Harrison Jr. news on Monday. He’s a FLEX possibility next week against the Jaguars in London.

Most of Jeanty’s production against New England came on a 31-yard catch and run in the third quarter. Battling through foot and ankle injuries, Jeanty looked hobbled from the start and struggled to break tackles or outrun Patriots defenders to the edge. Most Raiders starters rested in the fourth quarter of a lopsided loss. Jeanty still doesn’t have a rushing touchdown on the season and hasn’t had 100 rushing yards in a game since Week 1 against the Dolphins. Until Jeanty is fully healthy he probably won’t provide much in the way of upside, including next week against a decent Buffalo run defense.

He went for 3/45 in the first half and was mostly managed down with the Texans not really threatened in a major way after he sealed a block for their first touchdown in the third quarter. Collins took a hard fall after a leaping grab and did look a little worse for the wear on the sideline. We wouldn’t be surprised if he saw injury report time this week. That said, he looked good and the Texans simply didn’t need to throw the ball much late in this one. It’s back to the low-end WR1 line next week against the Jaguars.

He had a 20-ish yard touchdown taken off the board on what appeared to be a ticky-tack holding penalty. The more important story here is that David Montgomery (groin) went down mid-game and the Texans gave Marks a full workload. He had 56-of-65 snaps and no other back received a carry or touch. Marks won’t get that kind of workload next week against the Jaguars, but if Montgomery is destined for a long absence, he should threaten 70 percent of the snaps and a majority of the workload, making him one of the day’s bigger fantasy winners.
