A.J. Brown News
Thursday, October 8, 10:19 AM
New England Patriots wide receiver A.J. Brown (ankle) has been in the locker room over the last few days and is eligible to return from Injured Reserve next week, according to Evan Lazar of the team's official website. The Boston Herald's Doug Kyed reported on Wednesday that Brown was not walking around the locker room with a limp. The 29-year-old has not yet returned to practice, but he is nearing the light at the end of the tunnel in his recovery from a right high-ankle sprain that he suffered in the season-opening loss to the Seattle Seahawks in Week 1. Brown can officially return to the practice field next week, but even if he does, it is not a guarantee that he will come off IR to play in Week 6 against the division-rival New York Jets. The three-time Pro Bowler was acquired from the Philadelphia Eagles in the offseason to become quarterback Drake Maye's go-to target, but his ankle injury in Week 1 put a halt to those plans. Brown should remain stashed in all fantasy leagues as he nears the end of his recovery and will be a must-start in fantasy lineups whenever he returns to action.

Garrett Wilson News
Saturday, October 10, 7:08 AM
New York Jets wide receiver Garrett Wilson managed just three catches for 27 yards against Chicago, although the entire offense struggled in a game where Geno Smith attempted only 15 passes. Wilson still accounts for a significant portion of New York's passing game, with 24 receptions for 270 yards and two touchdowns through four weeks. The Jets will be without Adonai Mitchell again Sunday, and that should keep Wilson heavily involved against Cleveland. The matchup isn't ideal, particularly with the Browns recording at least three sacks in three straight games, but Wilson's target share gives him a much better outlook than the team's recent offensive performances might suggest. RotoBaller has him at WR15 for Week 5. The Jets need to give Smith more opportunities to throw if Wilson is going to produce, but he's still their best fantasy option in the passing game.
