Garrett Wilson's Huge Touchdown Catch Fuels 100-Yard Showing

Sunday, October 11, 7:02 PM

New York Jets wide receiver Garrett Wilson caught seven of his 11 targets for 104 receiving yards and one touchdown during Sunday's Week 5 win over the Cleveland Browns. After a disappointing outing in Week 4, Wilson got back on track this weekend with his second-best fantasy performance of the season. The 26-year-old has solidified himself as a WR1 in fantasy football, and he has fared better with Geno Smith at quarterback than he did with a combination of Justin Fields, Tyrod Taylor, and Brady Cook in 2025. Although we can't guarantee that Smith will be able to support top-tier production from Wilson every week, the duo has certainly looked solid so far. Wilson is a potential WR1 option for Week 6 against New England, but his exact outlook will depend on whether Patriots cornerbacks Christian Gonzalez (shoulder) and Carlton Davis III (neck) play next Sunday.

Khalil Shakir Could See Increased Opportunities in Week 5

Saturday, October 10, 11:56 AM

Buffalo Bills wide receiver Khalil Shakir finally had a productive afternoon against New England, catching seven of eight targets for 82 yards after totaling just eight receptions for 94 yards over the first three games. He also lost a fumble, but the increased involvement was encouraging. Now Buffalo heads into Monday without Joshua Palmer, who has been ruled out with a shoulder injury, while DJ Moore is questionable with his own shoulder issue. That leaves Shakir with a potentially larger role in the passing game, although Keon Coleman is also coming off a 116-yard performance. The Rams have been one of the NFL's toughest defenses against the pass, so there isn't much room to assume another big game. Shakir is WR36 in RotoBaller's Saturday rankings and offers flex appeal in PPR formats, particularly if Moore cannot play.
