Jaguars WR Brian Thomas Jr. dealing with high ankle sprain

Nov 04, 2025

Brian Thomas Jr. is dealing with a low-grade high ankle sprain but has a chance to play this week, per sources.

Fantasy Impact:

The Jags are banged up at WR with Travis Hunter now on IR. The team traded for Jakobi Meyers, but he may not be up to speed for a lot of snaps this week. BTJ has a chance to play this week, according to Schefter, but the second year WR hasn't exactly been productive, so he'll likely be a risky play even if he's a go. Hopefully the injury reports this week give us a better idea leading up to game time.

Raiders Beat: TE Michael Mayer could see increase in targets

Ryan McFadden on X

48 minutes ago

Brock Bowers will obviously see his targets increase, so should Michael Mayer.

Fantasy Impact:

The Raiders WR room isn't exactly a lot of household names, and with Bowers almost a WR anyway, having Mayer in the fold getting more work makes some sense. McFadden added in his post that, against Jacksonville, Mayer was targeted seven times for three catches and 26 yards last week, as Raiders utilized 12 personnel more than any game this season. This could be a theme going forward for the Raiders, making Mayer a guy to take a shot on and at least stash away for a few weeks to see if this theory pans out.

The Falcons are signing veteran K Zane Gonzalez following a workout this morning, sources tell me.

Fantasy Impact:

The team is waiving Romo, who was 11-for-14 on FGs with Atlanta and missed a late extra point in the 1-point loss to the Patriots on Sunday.

Raiders trade WR Jakobi Meyers to Jaguars

Adam Schefter on X

ESPN sources: Raiders are trading WR Jakobi Meyers to the Jacksonville Jaguars in exchange for fourth- and sixth-round picks.

Fantasy Impact:

Schefter said multiple teams including the Steelers and Jaguars had shown interest in Meyers, who is scheduled to become a free agent after his contract expires this season. For the Jags, with Hunter on IR, and BTJ suffering an ankle injury, they needed another option with Washington also a big part of the offense. For the Raiders, this seems to open the door for their rookie WRs in Thornton and Bech, who haven't been involved much so far this season. Tucker looks to be the team's top WR target, of course battling TE Brock Bowers for targets as well.
