Charlie Jones off the Injury Report for Week 8

Saturday, October 25, 7:36 PM

Cincinnati Bengals wide receiver Charlie Jones (ribs) is off the injury report heading into Sunday's game against the New York Jets. The wideout has been banged up all year, so his presence on the injury report isn't anything new. However, he hasn't done much for managers all season, logging only four offensive snaps, leaving him irrelevant for fantasy purposes. That's not expected to change anytime soon, with Jones in line to see the most action as a member of the special teams unit.

Jalen Brooks News

Jalen Brooks a Deep-League Waiver-Wire Target Amid Role Increase

Tuesday, October 20, 12:27 PM

Across the first four games of the 2026 season, Arizona Cardinals wide receiver Jalen Brooks saw just one target and did not log a single reception. However, Arizona's trade of wideout Marvin Harrison Jr. to the Houston Texans had moved Brooks into a much larger role in the Cardinals' passing game. Over the last two weeks, Brooks has recorded four catches for 46 yards on 10 targets. The 26-year-old remains behind wide receivers Michael Wilson and Kendrick Bourne, as well as tight end Trey McBride, on the team's target pecking order. Still, Brooks has played at least 50% of Arizona's snaps in back-to-back weeks, and Cardinals quarterback Jacoby Brissett is currently averaging 39 pass attempts per game. In deeper league formats, Brooks could be worth stashing just in case his role in Arizona continues to grow over the course of the season.
