Bad news for the Jets offense: WR Garrett Wilson is expected to miss at least 3-4 weeks with a knee sprain, source says.

The Jets were hopeful Wilson could play this week, a Thursday night game, but that won't be the case. As the post added, the good news is no surgery is needed, just rehab. Wilson's injury could bring him back for the fantasy playoffs, but he'll be tough to trust if Justin Fields is still under center. A lot could happen at QB for the Jets between now and Wilson's potential return.

Coach Glenn said WR Garrett Wilson will undergo further evaluation on his knee injury.

Wilson left the game early with the knee injury without recording a catch. Even if Wilson can play in Week 11, it's going to be tough to trust him in fantasy lineups when you factor in the injury and the play of QB Justin Fields. We'll likely know more as the week goes on, but Wilson owners will probably want to make other plans for his lineup spot, especially since the Jets play the Patriots on Thursday night this week.

Injury was added to insult for Geno Smith in the Raiders' Thursday night loss to the Broncos.

On a night in which nothing went right for Smith and the beleaguered Las Vegas offense, the quarterback suffered a quad contusion on the opening play of the fourth quarter during the team's 10-7 loss to Denver, although head coach Pete Carroll expressed postgame it shouldn't be a long-term issue.

This will presumably be labeled "day-to-day" for now, with Pickett the most likely starter should Smith be sidelined. Next up is the Cowboys defense, so whoever mans center will actually have some fantasy appeal.

There aren't many Jets options we should be able to trust in Week 10 —or beyond— but Wilson is certainly one of them if he suits up. It's a tough matchup, but he can still be considered in the WR3 range.

Garrett Wilson (knee) was limited in practice today. Tyrod Taylor (knee) was a full participant.

We should get used to the remaining Jets players taking quite a few days off while they go down with the sinking ship, so we'll hold off making sweeping fantasy judgements until/unless Wilson misses some more practice time.

Aaron Glenn has yet to make a Week 10 QB decision, but Taylor being a full participant means Justin Fields isn't in the clear.

According to multiple reports, Adonai Mitchell is being traded to New York to complete the Sauce Gardner deal.

That means in all, the Jets will receive Indianapolis’ first-round picks in 2026 and 2027 plus Mitchell, in exchange for Gardner.

Mitchell was buried in the Colts depth chart and a move to the Jets could get him as high as the team's WR2 spot fairly quickly. As the story said, after making 23 receptions for 312 yards as a rookie last year, he looked like he was having a breakout game in Week 4 against the Rams. But Mitchell infamously dropped the ball just before reaching the end zone for a touchdown, with the ball going out of the end zone for a touchback. The story added, since then, Mitchell had played only single-digit snaps in four games, making a total of two receptions for a total of 15 yards. While the Jets QB situation isn't the best, Mitchell should have a chance to succeed in an offense that is very needy for weapons at the WR spot.

Aaron Glenn tells reporters that WR Garrett Wilson will return to the practice field this week

Great news for the Jets and their passing game. Don't forget, when we last saw the Jets in Week 8 - and it was against the Bengals - Justin Fields threw for 244 yards and a touchdown as the Jets picked up their first win of the season, all without Wilson in the lineup. The Jets host the Browns in Week 10 coming off a bye and have a chance at another win, and Wilson's return should draw him a lot of targets from whoever is the QB.

Jaguars WR/CB Travis Hunter (knee) was hurt during practice Thursday. He will be put on IR and miss at least four games, HC Liam Coen said Friday morning.

Brutal run out for what has been an underwhelming two-way experiment to this point in the season. Hunter is in drop territory for smaller leagues and is honestly in that same consideration for deeper leagues, considering he's only broken double-digit points once this season.

Coen hinted at some lineup shifting after the bye week, saying: "We are going to play the best 11 [on each side of the ball] as much as humanly possible." He said that during an answer about assessing Travis Hunter's play and if they would be updating the plan for Hunter's usage after the bye.

Reading between the lines, it looks like Hunter is going to be a significant player in the offense going forward. That's what Coen said heading into last Sunday's game against the Rams, and then Hunter led the Jaguars in targets (14), catches (eight) and receiving yards (101) while playing a season-high 64 snaps. He now leads the team in receptions (28) and is second in receiving yards (298).

The story said don't be surprised if Hunter starts getting the WR1 treatment from the Jaguars in the season's second half, and that's partly due to his playmaking and run-after-the-catch ability, but also because Thomas hasn't played at that level all season. BTJ has five drops and has had really one solid fantasy game for owners this season. BTJ owners have already seen Brown, Washington and Patrick snag balls from Trevor Lawrence this season so when the team says they are going to play the best 11 players, it can't help but feel like bad news for Thomas. We just posted a story about how the Jaguars say they are not planning to trade Thomas, but it looks like he could be operating as a WR2 for the second half of the season. Hopefully for BTJ owners this is a wake-up call for the second year WR.

HC Kevin Stefanski said, “my focus is where we are right now, that’s not my focus,” when asked about starting QB Shedeur Sanders.

This is typically a time when a team will make a QB change - as the Browns are heading into their bye week. But there doesn't seem to be much consideration to make a switch at the position, at least based on this three-second clip on X. Gabriel has struggled during his time at QB since the team moved away from Joe Flacco. The Browns are 2-6 and don't seem to have much of a shot at a playoff berth through eight games. A move to Sanders would at least give the fan base a jolt, but it doesn't seem to be a change that will be made for Week 10.
