Garrett Wilson News
Saturday, October 3, 7:29 AM
New York Jets wide receiver Garrett Wilson is coming off 10 catches for 107 yards and a touchdown on 13 targets, and the Jets may need him even more in Chicago. Breece Hall, Adonai Mitchell, and Mason Taylor have all been ruled out, leaving fewer proven options around Geno Smith. Wilson already has 27 targets through three games, with 21 catches for 243 yards and two scores, so volume wasn't exactly a problem before the injuries piled up. Chicago's defense looked much better Monday night against Philadelphia, but that isn't enough to move Wilson out of the lineup. He's WR5 in RotoBaller's Week 4 rankings and remains the clear centerpiece of the Jets passing game. Treat him as a WR1 and move on.

Josh Downs News
Saturday, October 3, 2:21 AM
Indianapolis Colts wide receiver Josh Downs has settled into a larger role in his team's offense after the injury to Colts WR1, Alec Pierce (heel). Pierce will miss at least three more weeks after re-aggravating the heel injury in the leg he had surgery on in the offseason. Downs was targeted a season-high 11 times in Week 3, which was his most volume in a game since 2024. He caught five of those passes for 77 yards. The Commanders have a soft pass defense, which should be a good matchup for Downs on paper, though they tend to be leakier against outside receivers than those in the slot. His diminutive size keeps him in the slot mostly, but he's been one of the NFL's best separators and has averaged 13.3 yards per catch, a healthy clip considering his best capability is his short-area route running. Downs is in WR3/flex territory for this matchup, and is worth a start in 12-team full-PPR leagues for Week 4.
