Garrett Wilson

NYJ Wide Receiver #5

Personalize your Rotoworld feed by favoriting players

Garrett Wilson caught 9-of-10 targets for 90 yards with two touchdowns in the Jets’ Week 9 win over the Texans.

Both touchdowns were spectacular. The first came on a one-handed stab from Aaron Rodgers where he scampered in from 21-yards out to tie the game at 7-7. The second was one of the best scores of the year, as he somehow got his shin down before his knee to give the Jets a 14-10 lead and the victory. Both Wilson and Davante Adams were able to go over 90 yards in this contest, and Wilson hasn’t had any issue piling up numbers since Adams joined the team. He should receive a healthy number of touches in Week 10 against the Cardinals.
Aaron Rodgers

NYJ Quarterback #8

Aaron Rodgers completed 22-of-32 passes for 211 yards with three touchdowns in the Jets’ 21-13, Week 9 win over the Texans.

Rodgers missed on his first four passes before completing a screen pass to Breece Hall for all of negative two yards. He had an 18-yard touchdown pass negated when Malachi Corley made the questionable decision to not hold onto the football through the end zone. The second half was much more impressive, however. Both touchdown throws in the second half to Garrett Wilson were much more great plays by Garrett Wilson than they were great throws — particularly the one in the fourth to give the Jets a 14-10 lead — but they still count. The final touchdown was a perfect throw down the sideline to Davante Adams on a slot fade to put the game away. It wasn’t flawless — and it won’t ever be again for the 40-year-old — but there were some flashes of the Packers’ version in this contest The Jets take on the Cardinals in Week 10.
Puka Nacua

LAR Wide Receiver #17

Mike Garafolo of NFL Network reports that Puka Nacua’s knee injury is not considered serious.

Nacua left Wednesday’s practice with a knee injury — the same knee that has given him issues since early August and saw him miss time this year — but Garafolo reports that the wideout is expected to be fine. Fantasy managers should obviously keep an eye on Friday, but it sounds like has a good chance to go Sunday against the Seahawks in Week 9.
DK Metcalf

SEA Wide Receiver #14

DK Metcalf (knee) did not practice Thursday.

The Seahawks remain hopeful that Metcalf can play in Week 9 after missing Week 8’s loss to the Bills, but back-to-back missed practices likely limits that optimism at least slightly. If he gets in at least a limited session Friday he has a chance, but fantasy managers should be preparing to be without Metcalf against the Rams on Sunday.
Lamar Jackson

BAL Quarterback #8

Lamar Jackson (knee/back) did not practice on Thursday.

Head coach John Harbaugh said Jackson’s absence on Wednesday was due to rest, but there won’t be any downplaying two straight missed practices with knee/back issues. Lamar and the Ravens get the Broncos in Week 9 and then have a quick turnaround to prepare for the Bengals on Thursday night in Week 10. We won’t press the panic alarm just yet, but Friday’s practice will prove very important for Jackson’s Week 9 availability.
Tee Higgins

CIN Wide Receiver #5

Tee Higgins (quad) did not practice Wednesday.

Bengals head coach Zac Taylor called Higgins day to day on Monday. Though he could return to practice and ultimately play on Sunday, a DNP to open the proceedings is a bad sign for his Week 9 availability. Andrei Iosivas ran a route on nearly every Joe Burrow dropback last week but did not catch a single pass. Mike Gesicki was the ancillary pass-catcher who stepped up in Higgins’ absence, reeling in seven balls for 73 yards. He will climb to the top of the TE2 rankings if Higgins is sidelined once again.
Josh Jacobs

GB Running Back #8

Josh Jacobs (ankle) did not practice Wednesday.

Jacobs told reporters “I’ll be good game time” after the missed practice. Barring a setback, there’s nothing to see here. With Jordan Love either out or playing through a groin injury, the Packers will likely fall back on a run-heavy approach in Week 9 versus the Lions. Coming off a 25-carry game against the Jags, Jacobs is in for another RB1 workload this week.
Jared Goff

DET Quarterback #16

Jared Goff (ankle) did not practice Wednesday.

Goff didn’t sound concerned when talking to reporters after the practice and noted that he expects to return to practice on Thursday. He rolled his ankle while being sacked early in the Lions’ Week 8 win over Tennessee. Goff managed to play through the issue despite limping on the field at times and being checked out by trainers between drives. He should be good to go by the end of the week, albeit with a bit less mobility in his game for Week 9.
Lamar Jackson

BAL Quarterback #8

Ravens coach John Harbaugh said Lamar Jackson was given a rest day on Wednesday.

Jackson was held out of Wednesday’s practice, but Harbaugh quickly quelled any injury fears after practice. Jackson will be good to go for his Week 9 game versus the Broncos. Despite the difficult matchup, Lamar will remain the QB1 overall in the Week 9 ranks.
DK Metcalf

SEA Wide Receiver #14

DK Metcalf (knee) did not practice Wednesday.

Per The Athletic’s Michael-Shawn Dugar, head coach Mike Macdonald said he remains optimistic that Metcalf will suit up on Sunday. Metcalf suffered a Grade 1 MCL sprain in Week 7 and missed the following week. This situation remains a waiting game for fantasy managers hoping to get Metcalf back this week. The star receiver will likely need to log at least one limited practice before returning. If he can’t go, Jaxon Smith-Njigba will continue to operate as a low-ceiling No. 1 receiver for Geno Smith.
