Omar Cooper Jr. expected to return Sunday; Adonai Mitchell ruled out

Oct 16, 2026

Aaron Glenn said Omar Cooper Jr. would practice fully Friday and is expected to play against New England. Cooper still needs to be activated from injured reserve. The Jets ruled Adonai Mitchell out with his finger injury.

Fantasy Impact:

Cooper is worth a speculative bench addition, with a path to WR3/FLEX value if he immediately earns regular routes. Managers should confirm his activation and expected workload before starting him in his first game back. Wilson remains the clear WR1 play.

Colts release veteran WR Darius Slayton

The Indianapolis Colts today released wide receiver Darius Slayton.

Fantasy Impact:

It's fair to say Slayton can be dropped in even the deepest of Dynasty leagues after he failed to find the field on a WR-heavy Colts team. This is slightly more encouraging for Treadwell, who has received a surprising amount of usage.

Broncos RB Tyler Badie exits Thursday’s win with thumb injury

Tyler Badie is OUT with a thumb injury

Related Players: J.K. Dobbins, RJ Harvey, Jonah Coleman

Fantasy Impact:

If Badie misses Week 7, Harvey would become a more appealing PPR FLEX option with additional passing-down work available. Dobbins remains the stronger volume-based RB2 option after handling 20 touches Thursday. Coleman is also a stash candidate in most standard or deep leagues.

Raiders WR Jalen Nailor returns to limited practice Thursday

Jalen Nailor practiced on a limited basis Thursday, his first practice since suffering a concussion in Week 4 against Kansas City.

Fantasy Impact:

Nailor is worth monitoring in deeper leagues, but managers should wait for confirmed concussion clearance before considering him for a FLEX spot. His return would create more competition for the secondary receivers’ routes. Tucker remains the strongest Raiders WR option, while Bowers remains an elite TE1.
