Those numbers were team highs in targets, catches, and receiving yards on the day. That says a lot about how bad this Jets offense looked. Williams is primarily a return man, but he was forced into a much larger role in the Jets’ passing attack late in the season and finished with 26 catches on 36 targets for 193 yards. The 24-year-old — somehow voted team MVP last week by the players — showed enough juice in that role and on special teams to be a strong candidate to remain the fifth receiver on the Jets next year.

Parkinson is unlikely to be startable as a TE1 if he plays on Monday night, but his return will likely reduce Tyler Higbee’s snap share. Higbee has been TE1-viable in each of the last two weeks.

This is a good sign for Donald. Meanwhile, CB Jaylen Watson (shoulder) remained limited and star S Quentin Lake (hip) remained sidelined. Watson starts in the No. 2 perimeter cornerback role, while Lake serves as the primary nickel cornerback and part-time safety. Missing either player would be notable.

Palmer seemingly injured his shoulder in practice today. The Bills may already be without WR DJ Moore (shoulder) on Monday night. While Palmer is not relevant in 12-team leagues, his potential absence would improve Keon Coleman’s stock.

The Bills’ No. 1 wide receiver is on the wrong side of questionable for his team’s Monday Night Football game against the Rams. Moore sprained the AC joint in his left shoulder in Week 2. He aggravated it in Week 4 with a hard fall and was unable to continue playing. If active, Moore will be a risk-reward WR2.

Black was limited on Wednesday, but upgraded to full participation on Thursday and Friday. There are no concerns about his ability to handle backup duties against the Seahawks this week. That said, he has just 10 carries over the last two weeks and cannot be started in 12-team FLEX spots.

The Giants’ passing offense is tethered to Jameis Winston’s scattershot arm, but Likely has a favorable matchup against the Commanders’ defense this week. He can be started as a low-end TE1 in this divisional showdown.

The 49ers’ star wide receiver is good to go for his team’s Week 5 game against a divisional rival. A hard hit to the midsection could change his day, but Evans is extremely tough and should be expected to handle his normal workload. He is a weekly WR2, operating as San Francisco’s passing game focal point.

The 49ers will be without Bosa, FB Kyle Juszczyk (knee), DL James Thompson Jr. (ankle) and S Marques Sigle (ankle) for this divisional showdown, making life a little easier on their opponent.

Williams is officially listed as questionable, though he is expected to take the field for the first time since tearing his ACL in Week 9, during this 2025 rookie season. His return could not have come soon enough. The 49ers’ defensive line has been hit hard by injuries this year. The 49ers correspondingly released DL Ogbo Okoronkwo to make room on the active roster.

Every year it somehow comes to this. Humphrey will replace Pat Bryant (IR/ankle) on the 53-man roster. We expect Troy Franklin and Marvin Mims will have more opportunities than Humphrey to actually catch the ball.
