A.J. Brown Questionable for Week 10

Friday, November 13, 7:05 AM

New England Patriots wide receiver A.J. Brown (knee, ankle) was limited in practice all week and is listed as questionable to play in Week 10 against the Detroit Lions in Munich, Germany, on Sunday. Head coach Mike Vrabel seems to think that Brown has a "pretty good" chance to return to action this weekend overseas as the Patriots look to get back in the win column after being diced up by the Green Bay Packers at home in Week 9. The 29-year-old Brown did not look right after returning from a stint on Injured Reserve due to a high-ankle sprain that he suffered in the Week 1 loss to the Seattle Seahawks, and he has missed the last two games due to a knee issue. He could end up being a game-time decision this weekend, but the good news is that the Patriots have an early kickoff on Sunday morning in Germany. If Brown is active, he could have a limited number of snaps in his return as the Patriots look to keep him healthy, which will make him a volatile WR2 option for fantasy managers. The three-time Pro Bowler has been a major bust so far in 2026 in his first year with the Patriots, catching only nine passes for 101 yards and no touchdowns in three games played. But when fully healthy, Brown could be a nice big-play artist downfield for quarterback Drake Maye. Brown's return would most negatively impact DeMario Douglas.

Adonai Mitchell Practices in Full but Listed as Questionable for Week 10

Friday, November 13, 2:14 PM

Despite practicing in full on Friday, New York Jets wide receiver Adonai Mitchell (knee) is listed as questionable to play in Week 10 on Sunday against the division-rival Buffalo Bills, according to Zack Rosenblatt of The Athletic. Fellow wideouts Garrett Wilson (concussion) and rookie Omar Cooper Jr. (ankle) are also questionable, but all three receivers practiced in full and are trending in the right direction to be available this weekend. The 24-year-old Mitchell missed time with a finger injury, but in his first game back in the Week 8 loss to the Las Vegas Raiders, he exploded for seven catches, 142 yards, and his first touchdown of the year on nine targets. The big performance made him a prime waiver-wire pickup going into the Jets' Week 9 contest on the road against the Kansas City Chiefs, and a lot was expected of him when Wilson was ruled out. Mitchell went on to flop in Kansas City, failing to catch any of his seven targets for a donut in the box score. Around Mitchell's 142-yard explosion in Week 8 were two zeroes for fantasy managers, so it has become extremely difficult to trust him as a starter in fantasy football lineups going into a Week 10 matchup against the Bills, especially with Wilson expected to return from his concussion. Treat Mitchell as a boom/bust WR3/flex. RotoBaller has him ranked as the No. 32 wideout this week.
