The NFLPA report card, which included responses from nearly 1,700 active NFL players, had Johnson as the only owner to get a failing grade. Patriots owner Robert Kraft, Cardinals owner Michael Bidwell, and Panthers owner David Tepper were the only owners to get a D on the NFLPA’s report card. Johnson received a B- grade in 2023. “Rather than addressing concerns, players believed that management responded to feedback by making conditions worse,” the report said about Johnson and the Jets higher ups. It’s hardly a surprise that Johnson would get such low marks after another failed season, his commitment to Aaron Rodgers, and reports that Johnson’s children had made roster decisions based on Madden ratings. Johnson, who reportedly took control over the Jets front office midway through the catastrophic 2024 season, would do well to step aside and let head head coach Aaron Glenn take charge of the organization.

Brooks is one of two wideouts who were elevated from the practice squad for Week 14 against the Rams. The 2023 seventh-round pick is unlikely to much of an impact, even in a room that is not exactly crowded with quality wideouts.

Lewis gets the active roster spot after previously being elevated from the practice squad in his previous action in 2025. He remains off the fantasy radar, but most 41-year-old’s are.

As expected, Johnson will miss at least one more game with his foot injury. The hope is that the All-Pro tackle will be back for the Philadelphia offense for Week 15 against Las Vegas.

Wolford’s signing likely means that he’ll be the backup quarterback for JJ McCarthy for Week 14 against the Commanders, with Max Brosmer the emergency third quarterback.

The Seahawks are also activating Jarran Reed (wrist/thumb) as Seattle is getting two of their core defensive players back for the final five contests of the year. Love should be the starting free safety against Atlanta, while Reed should see plenty of snaps/could start up the middle, as well.

Cook will be the backup signal-caller for the Week 14 contest against the Dolphins, as Justin Fields (knee) has been ruled out for that contest versus Miami.

Chandler will not come off injured reserve, so the Vikings will once again go with a Jordan Mason-Aaron Jones backfield for the tilt against the Commanders. Chandler likely wouldn’t have a big role/won’t have one whenever he is activated, anyways.

Dortch could return for the Week 18 finale, but it’s likely that the season is over for the 27-year-old. Assuming his campaign is done, he finishes 2025 with 29 receptions for 2026 yards and three touchdowns. Trent Sherfield has been promoted from the practice squad to take Dortch’s place.

Facing the Vikings, Brown will be active for the first time since Week 2. He figures to immediately slot back in as the No. 3 wideout for an offense that has been dealing with receiver injury carnage all season. Good news for Washington, especially with Jayden Daniels also returning, but it’s unlikely to make a ripple in fantasy football.

Rob Demovsky of ESPN reports that the expectation is that Reed will play in Week 14 against the Bears, but the Packers are listening the third-year wideout as questionable for that contest. Reed last played in Week 2. If he can actually suit up, he’ll knock Dontayvion Wicks out of the top 70, and perhaps render Romeo Doubs and even Christian Watson a bit more volatile.
