Christian Watson News
Thursday, October 29, 5:31 PM
Green Bay Packers wide receiver Christian Watson (chest) was taken to the hospital after leaving early on Thursday for precautionary reasons, per Ari Meirov of the 33rd Team. The team's top wideout exited the contest in the first half after taking a hard hit after making a 53-yard reception and was quickly deemed questionable to return. He walked off the field on his own power, but the breakout wide receiver is now set to undergo further testing. Before exiting, Watson hit the century mark on just six catches (seven targets). While he remains out, managers should expect second-year wide receiver Matthew Golden and Tucker Kraft to draw most of the targets.

Brian Thomas Jr. News
Wednesday, October 28, 5:19 AM
Several NFL executives believe that Jacksonville Jaguars wide receiver Brian Thomas Jr.'s days with the team are numbered, according to ESPN's Jeremy Fowler. Fowler notes Thomas's diminished role and, like the now-Texans wide receiver Marvin Harrison Jr., suggests that a change of scenery could bring out the best in Thomas. In six games, Thomas has caught nine of 20 targets for 105 yards and a touchdown, a severe decline from his historic 2024 rookie season. The third-year receiver has not caught a pass since Week 4 and played just 21% of snaps in Week 6, while Parker Washington, Jakobi Meyers, and rookie Josh Cameron played significantly more. With the Jaguars' crowded receiving room and Thomas's high draft capital and stellar rookie production, teams could pay up for the former 1,300-yard receiver.
