Jaguars | Chiefs, Steelers, Commanders interested in Brian Thomas Jr., Jaguars not inclined to deal Mon Nov 2, 12:20 AM
The Chiefs, Steelers and Commanders have interest in Jaguars WR Brian Thomas Jr. The Jaguars have not shown much inclination to trade him, even if Thomas would prefer a fresh start. "Contenders usually aren't sellers at the trade deadline."
| Footballguys view: Currently, the Chiefs, Steelers, and Commanders have interest. According to PFT, the Steelers have greater interest in the Colts Josh Downs. Downs, however, is Kansas City's Plan B if they can't get Thomas away from the Jaguars. The Jaguars have no real incentive to move him unless they get a big offer. We'll see if it comes. The trade deadline is Nov. 10. |

Miami Dolphins WR Kevin Coleman Jr. caught 3 passes for 46 yards and a touchdown on 3 targets in Sunday's 24-19 loss to the New England Patriots. He was projected for 1.3 fantasy points (half-PPR) and finished with 12.1.

Vikings WR Justin Jefferson declined to speak with reporters after Sunday's 19-15 loss to the Lions in Detroit. Head coach Kevin O'Connell and QB Kyler Murray both acknowledged the receiver's frustration. Jefferson said last week that his slow statistical season was "definitely an in-between feeling" during the Vikings' 6-0 start.
| Footballguys view: O'Connell pointed to three plays where he thought Murray could have given Jefferson better chances to make big plays. As ESPN.com's Kevin Seifert noted, Jefferson has been unable to maintain his career production levels since the start of the 2025 season, as the Vikings have used four different starting quarterbacks. He has already doubled his touchdown output this season (four) when compared with 2025, but otherwise is off to the worst start in his career. It's a situation worth watching. |

Broncos WR Courtland Sutton has returned to Sunday's game against the Chiefs after being injured in the second quarter.
| Footballguys view: Sutton took a big shot in the ribs on a catch up the left sideline from QB Bo Nix. Sutton needed attending to after the hit. Sutton finished the day with four catches for 53 yards. We'll monitor Sutton's status when the Broncos begin preparing to take on the Panthers in Week 9. |

Dolphins WR Malik Washington has returned to Sunday's game against the Patriots after being injured in the second quarter.
| Footballguys view: Washington briefly exited the game in the second quarter after taking a hard hit over the middle from Patriots linebacker Christian Elliss. He walked off under his own power and went into the blue medical tent for evaluation. Washington quickly returned to the field before halftime and caught a touchdown pass. |

Cardinals WR Michael Wilson said on Sunday that he has two broken ribs.
| Footballguys view: As SI.com's Donnie Druin noted, Wilson gutted it out for the Cardinals in a big way, finishing the day with eight receptions for 111 yards and a game-tying touchdown with six seconds remaining. He also added a 17-yard rush in overtime to help put Arizona in position to kick a game-winning field goal. With Kendrick Bourne (ankle) and Reggie Virgil (undisclosed) both leaving early, Arizona's receiving corps is in serious question heading into a matchup against a Seahawks defense that ranks No. 1 versus wide receivers in Week 9. |

Bills WR DJ Moore said he is OK after a knee scare at the end of Sunday's win over the Ravens. QB Josh Allen checked on Moore in the medical tent. Moore joked, "I just got back, can't miss time again!"
| Footballguys view: Moore had a strong game until that point, making four receptions for 82 yards and a touchdown. Moore was playing his first game back after an extended absence with a shoulder injury. While the extent of his injury was not immediately clear, replay showed that Moore appeared to hyperextend his leg while taking a hit. We'll follow up as needed. |

Tennessee Titans WR Chimere Dike caught 5 passes for 71 yards and a touchdown on 6 targets in Sunday's 43-36 loss to the Cincinnati Bengals. He was projected for 2.3 fantasy points (half-PPR) and finished with 15.6.

Cincinnati Bengals WR Ja'Marr Chase caught 11 passes for 141 yards and a touchdown on 16 targets in Sunday's 43-36 win over the Tennessee Titans. He was projected for 16.7 fantasy points (half-PPR) and finished with 25.6.

Cincinnati Bengals WR Tee Higgins caught 10 passes for 155 yards and two touchdowns on 11 targets in Sunday's 43-36 win over the Tennessee Titans. He was projected for 14.6 fantasy points (half-PPR) and finished with 32.5.
| Footballguys view: Higgins wasn't just dominant at the catch point, he ran with the conviction of a power running back after the catch. He is surging for fantasy with Joe Burrow slinging it to make up for a poor defense and the lack of a running game. |
Tee Higgins player page
Arizona Cardinals WR Michael Wilson ran 1 time for 17 yards and also caught 8 passes for 111 yards and a touchdown on 15 targets in Sunday's 33-30 win over the Dallas Cowboys. He was projected for 10.5 fantasy points (half-PPR) and finished with 22.8.
| Footballguys view: Wilson played through a painful rib injury that didn't stop him from laying out for a touchdown in the waning seconds that would have won the game if Chad Ryland hadn't missed the extra point. Wilson contributed to the game-winning field goal drive and should be in lineups even though the Cardinals are traveling to Seattle in Week 9 as long as he is able to play through this injury. |

Patriots WRs Kyle Williams and Efton Chism III and rookie TEs Eli Raridon and Tanner Arkin were in New England's offensive starting lineup for Sunday's Week 8 game at the Dolphins. QB Drake Maye and RB Rhamondre Stevenson also started. The offensive line was LT Will Campbell, LG Walter Rouse, C Jared Wilson, RG Matt Pryor and RT Morgan Moses.

Baltimore Ravens WR Zay Flowers caught 0 passes for 0 yards on 5 targets in Sunday's 36-10 loss to the Buffalo Bills. He was projected for 16.7 fantasy points (half-PPR) and finished with 0.0.
| Footballguys view: Flowers was a forgotten man after the Ravens lost two quarterbacks. He's just a boom/bust WR3/Flex against the Jaguars on Thursday in what could be a lost season for him for fantasy after he has looked like one of the five best receivers in the game for the fleeting glimpse that we've seen him in the Declan Doyle offense with Lamar Jackson at quarterback. |

Jacksonville Jaguars WR Parker Washington ran 1 time for 10 yards and also caught 1 pass for 16 yards on 2 targets in Sunday's 42-7 win over the Indianapolis Colts. He was projected for 13.2 fantasy points (half-PPR) and finished with 3.1.
| Footballguys view: Washington was a fantasy bust because the Colts couldn't put up a fight in this game. With UDFA rookie Joe Fagnano poised to start on Thursday against the Jaguars after both Lamar Jackson (thumb) and Tyler Huntley (turf toe) left the game with injuries that will sideline them for multiple weeks, Washington will be a boom/bust WR3/Flex in another game that could get out of hand by halftime. Thursday's game is in Baltimore, but it's worth pointing out that Jacksonville has now blown out the Browns, Patriots, and Colts in three of their four home games. Of the games left on the schedule, only the Bears, Steelers, and rival Texans look like teams that are sure to give the Jaguars a strong fight that will give us a chance at a ceiling game for Washington. At least the other game against the Colts is in Week 18, which is meaningless for fantasy. |

Pittsburgh Steelers WR DK Metcalf caught 1 pass for 4 yards on 6 targets in Sunday's 27-6 win over the Cleveland Browns. He was projected for 11.1 fantasy points (half-PPR) and finished with 0.9.
| Footballguys view: Metcalf was wide open on a deep ball that could have made his fantasy day, but he bobbled it right into Denzel Ward's hands for Aaron Rodgers' only interception on the day. He has been a boom/bust WR3/Flex so far and a mild disappointment as the Steelers are leaning into being a run-first offense going into their bye after a pass-happy first six games. Metcalf isn't an essential hold in short bench leagues during his bye if you are strong at wide receiver. |

Bills WR DJ Moore was hurt and slow to get up during Sunday's game against the Ravens. He was on the sideline kneeling with athletic trainers around him. Moore, who was questionable for the game with a shoulder injury, was active on Sunday.

Las Vegas Raiders WR Jalen Nailor caught 4 passes for 38 yards and a touchdown on 4 targets in Sunday's 38-33 win over the New York Jets. He was projected for 3.5 fantasy points (half-PPR) and finished with 11.8.

New York Jets WR Adonai Mitchell caught 7 passes for 142 yards and a touchdown on 9 targets in Sunday's 38-33 loss to the Las Vegas Raiders. He was projected for 4.5 fantasy points (half-PPR) and finished with 23.7. WR Omar Cooper Jr. was held without a catch.
| Footballguys view: Mitchell was emerging as a key target for Geno Smith after reports all offseason that the two had strong chemistry on the practice field. A finger injury sidelined him for four weeks and first-round pick Omar Cooper Jr. appeared to overtake Mitchell with back-to-back games with 100 yards and a touchdown in his first two full games. Cooper ran the same number of routes as Mitchell, but did not get a target. Both will be boom/bust WR3/Flex plays in a tough matchup against the Chiefs next week. |
Adonai Mitchell player page
Las Vegas Raiders WR Tre Tucker caught 0 passes for 0 yards on 1 target in Sunday's 38-33 win over the New York Jets. He was projected for 10.4 fantasy points (half-PPR) and finished with 0.0.
| Footballguys view: Tucker hadn't posted lower than four catches for 41 yards in a game since a two-catch, 27-yard Week 1 dud. The Raiders had a ton of success against a Jets defense that had trouble covering Brock Bowers and Michael Mayer. The tight end duo combined for 12 catches, 145 yards, and two scores, which made Tucker an afterthought in the passing game. He's still at worst a what-the-heck WR3/Flex against the 49ers next week with three elite WR1 games under his belt so far this season. Don't drop him out of frustration if you finally played him this week after benching him in his spike weeks. |

Cardinals WR Reggie Virgil was injured on a play in the fourth quarter of Sunday's game against the Cowboys with 2:23 left. He did not return.
| Footballguys view: Virgil collided hard with the base of the goalpost while diving for a deep pass in the fourth quarter. He was in significant pain and had to be carted off the field to the locker room. The injury added to a heavily depleted Arizona wide receiver room that also saw Kendrick Bourne exit with an ankle injury during the same matchup. We'll follow up as needed. |

Tampa Bay Buccaneers WR Ted Hurst III caught 0 passes for 0 yards on 1 target in Sunday's 16-0 win over the Atlanta Falcons. He was projected for 7.3 fantasy points (half-PPR) and finished with 0.0.

Tampa Bay Buccaneers WR Chris Godwin Jr. caught 0 passes for 0 yards on 1 target in Sunday's 16-0 win over the Atlanta Falcons. He was projected for 9.4 fantasy points (half-PPR) and finished with 0.0.

Atlanta Falcons WR Drake London caught 1 pass for 8 yards on 6 targets in Sunday's 16-0 loss to the Tampa Bay Buccaneers. He was projected for 13.6 fantasy points (half-PPR) and finished with 1.3.
| Footballguys view: London left the game briefly for a concussion evaluation. He was quickly cleared. The game was played in a monsoon, so don't read too much into this result. Next week, London and the rest of the Falcons offense will face a Bengals defense that just gave up 36 points to the Titans. Don't despair. |

Cardinals WR Kendrick Bourne has been ruled out of Sunday's game at the Cowboys with an ankle injury. Bourne had been seen getting help walking on the sideline earlier in the game.
| Footballguys view: Michael Wilson was playing through a rib injury and got a big uptick in targets with Gardner Minshew II in at quarterback and Bourne out of the game with an ankle injury. We'll watch the practice reports heading into the matchup against the Seahawks next week so you'll know if Wilson is available for the tough matchup. |

Lions WR Amon-Ra St. Brown had to be checked in the locker room during Sunday's game against the Vikings after going down on a play in the end zone that was eventually ruled an incomplete pass. He was back on the sideline and on the field for the next possession.
| Footballguys view: St. Brown led the team with 7 receptions for 46 yards plus a 10-yard rush. During the matchup, he also set an NFL record as the fastest player to reach 600 career receptions (in 90 games). Detroit will play the Dolphins in Week 9. |

Falcons rookie WR Zachariah Branch suffered a hamstring injury in Sunday's game against the Buccaneers and did not return.
| Footballguys view: Branch, a third-round pick out of Georgia, won the team's starting kick returner job out of training camp and has been solid thus far. The rookie has yet to carve out a role in the Falcons offense. With Branch out, the Falcons turned to veteran wide receiver Olamide Zaccheaus to fill in as the return specialist. |

The Vikings and 49ers had a deal in place to trade Vikings WR Jauan Jennings back to San Francisco, but Jennings decided to stay in Minnesota, Fox Sports' Jay Glazer reported. The deal was contingent on Jennings getting on a Zoom call with 49ers head coach Kyle Shanahan and GM John Lynch, and Jennings passed. Jennings, who spent his entire career with San Francisco before signing with the Vikings, had two catches for 34 yards against the Colts last Sunday after totaling two catches for nine yards in four games before that.

Saints rookie WR Jordyn Tyson could return from the hamstring injury that has sidelined him as early as Week 9 against the Browns on Nov. 8, according to sources. Even if he does not return for that game, Tyson "is not far away from playing." Tyson, the No. 8 overall pick, is on injured reserve and has been designated to return.
| Footballguys view: We hope the Saints are extra cautious with Tyson. This is reportedly a different hamstring injury than the one that plagued him from late last season in college through the entire pre-draft process, but the team should still make sure that Tyson has no limitations before he returns to the field. He was the story of Saints training camp before suffering the new hamstring injury, so he could be an instant impact player that boosts the value of Tyler Shough while being a high-ceiling weekly play as a WR3/Flex. He'll be a hot waiver add next week in leagues that don't have injured reserve slots. |
