Jets | Taylor catches 5 passes for 62 yards, two touchdowns in loss to Dolphins Sun Oct 25, 04:01 PM
New York Jets TE Mason Taylor caught 5 passes for 62 yards and two touchdowns on 6 targets in Sunday's 28-25 loss to the Miami Dolphins. He was projected for 4.2 fantasy points (half-PPR) and finished with 20.7.
| Footballguys view: First round pick Kenyon Sadiq had a breakout game earlier this season against the Lions, but Taylor was the primary receiving tight end in this game. Taylor also caught a two-point conversion in another sign that he is the most trusted receiving tight end for the Jets right now. If you need to pick someone up from the waiver wire to cover George Kittle or Isaiah Likely's bye, Taylor is a viable choice who should be out there. |

Dolphins | Willis throws for 208 yards, two touchdowns in win over Jets Sun Oct 25, 04:01 PM
Miami Dolphins QB Malik Willis completed 14 of 21 passes for 208 yards with 2 touchdowns and ran 8 times for 37 yards and a touchdown in Sunday's 28-25 win over the New York Jets. He was projected for 15.6 fantasy points (half-PPR) and finished with 26.0.
| Footballguys view: Willis led touchdown drives of 60, 76, and 91 yards in the first half in a great sign that the bye was time spent well for him and offensive coordinator Bobby Slowik. Willis's first true ceiling game of the season also coincided with the return of rookie third round pick wideout Caleb Douglas, who scored twice, including a 63-yard catch and run score. Consider Willis a boom/bust QB1 who should be added from the waiver wire, even in short bench leagues (unless you have two strong QB options already). |

Dolphins | Gordon runs for 103 yards, one TD in win over Jets Sun Oct 25, 04:01 PM
Miami Dolphins RB Ollie Gordon II ran 25 times for 103 yards and a touchdown and also caught 1 pass for 0 yards on 3 targets in Sunday's 28-25 win over the New York Jets. He was projected for 12.0 fantasy points (half-PPR) and finished with 16.8.
| Footballguys view: Gordon proved himself to be the kind of back that can salt away a win with tough fourth quarter running. Head coach Jeff Hafley praised Gordon's situational value in the first win of the year in a sign that he could easily be a "thunder" to De'Von Achane's lightning next season after Achane returns from an ACL tear. In the meantime, Gordon is a strong RB2 bordering on RB1 value heading into a matchup with the Patriots. |

Jets | Smith throws for 287 yards, three touchdowns in loss to Dolphins Sun Oct 25, 04:01 PM
New York Jets QB Geno Smith completed 23 of 30 passes for 287 yards with 3 touchdowns and 1 interception in Sunday's 28-25 loss to the Miami Dolphins. He was projected for 15.7 fantasy points (half-PPR) and finished with 22.5.
| Footballguys view: This game probably stands more for the idea of expecting plus games from opposing quarterbacks against Miami (Drake Maye next week, Josh Allen Week 17!) than a reason to pick up Geno Smith from the waiver wire, although with the Raiders reeling defense up next week, Smith can cover a Brock Purdy bye or serve as a QB2/Superflex. |

Jets | Wilson held to 2 catches for 26 yards in loss to Dolphins Sun Oct 25, 04:01 PM
New York Jets WR Garrett Wilson caught 2 passes for 26 yards on 3 targets in Sunday's 28-25 loss to the Miami Dolphins. He was projected for 13.3 fantasy points (half-PPR) and finished with 3.6.
| Footballguys view: Wilson was frustrated on the sidelined, seen yelling in the direction of Geno Smith, although Smith said Wilson wasn't yelling at him. Earlier this week offensive coordinator Frank Reich said that head coach Aaron Glenn gets in his ear when Wilson isn't getting the ball. Wilson didn't catch a pass until the second half this week. This could also be Glenn's final game as Jets head coach, so it's hard to know if Wilson's value is going to bounce back significantly going forward. You have to keep him in as a WR3/Flex against the Raiders next week, but this is a crowded passing game that won't face a poor defense like the Dolphins every week. |

Dolphins | Douglas catches 2 passes for 70 yards, two touchdowns in win over Jets Sun Oct 25, 04:01 PM
Miami Dolphins WR Caleb Douglas caught 2 passes for 70 yards and two touchdowns on 3 targets in Sunday's 28-25 win over the New York Jets. He was projected for 6.6 fantasy points (half-PPR) and finished with 20.0.
| Footballguys view: Douglas's 63-yard score was a catch and run set up by Douglas's speed and a heady Malik Washington block downfield. It will be difficult to know which of Douglas, Washington, and Chris Bell will be the good what-the-heck WR3/Flex from this offense in any given week, but Malik Willis was vastly improved out of the bye this week, and we should expect him to support more fantasy value in the passing game going forward. Douglas is worth a pickup this week as long as bench size allows. |

Jets | Cooper catches 5 passes for 115 yards, a touchdown in loss to Dolphins Sun Oct 25, 04:01 PM
New York Jets WR Omar Cooper Jr. caught 5 passes for 115 yards and a touchdown on 5 targets in Sunday's 28-25 loss to the Miami Dolphins. He was projected for 7.4 fantasy points (half-PPR) and finished with 20.0.
| Footballguys view: Cooper has back-to-back games with over 100 yards in a touchdown. The return of Adonai Mitchell didn't affect his output, although his emergence has pushed Garrett Wilson to the background. Cooper should be in lineups against the Raiders next week and stay in lineups until he cools off. |

Jets | Allen runs for 104 yards in loss to Dolphins Sun Oct 25, 04:01 PM
New York Jets RB Braelon Allen ran 17 times for 104 yards and also caught 6 passes for 30 yards on 7 targets in Sunday's 28-25 loss to the Miami Dolphins. He was projected for 14.6 fantasy points (half-PPR) and finished with 16.4.
| Footballguys view: Allen was not one of the reasons the Jets lost to the Dolphins at home. He has looked like a starting quality NFL running back in his four starts after Breece Hall went down, and he shouldn't be dropped in redraft leagues even with Hall due back next week against the Raiders. This should be close to a 60/40 split and maybe even 50/50 in Hall's first week back, plus there's the possibility of re-injury or another injury after Hall missed most of the preseason with a groin injury. Hall should be ready to return next week after getting in two limited practices last week. |

Texans | Jaylin Noel leaves game with turf toe vs. Giants Sun Oct 25, 03:55 PM
Texans WR Jaylin Noel is questionable to return to Sunday's Week 7 game against the Giants with a toe injury.
| Footballguys view: Noel was coming off of a big game that got him added off of the waiver wire in many leagues, only go down the following week and finish with two catches for -3 yards. The injury was revealed to be turf toe after the game, and Noel was seen in a boot. The Texans are going into a bye and it's not clear how much time Noel will miss. It will hurt the offense overall and the value of CJ Stroud for as long as Noel is out. With the addition of Marvin Harrison Jr. and return of Tank Dell, along with Xavier Hutchinson being Stroud favorite target down the stretch and the impending bye week, there's not a clear pickup as the beneficiary of any missed time by Noel. |

Vikings | Jones (knee) leaves in fourth quarter, held to 26 yards on 8 carries in win over Colts Sun Oct 25, 03:51 PM
Minnesota Vikings RB Aaron Jones Sr. ran 8 times for 26 yards and also caught 1 pass for 0 yards on 1 target in Sunday's 16-10 win over the Indianapolis Colts. He was projected for 10.1 fantasy points (half-PPR) and finished with 3.1.
| Footballguys view: Jones left in the fourth quarter after taking a hit on the knee that he sprained the MCL of back in Week 2. He did not return to the game. Jordan Mason should be the starter next week against the Lions and will be ranked as a solid RB2 play assuming Jones can't go. |

Buccaneers | Tucker runs for 52 yards, one TD in win over Panthers Sun Oct 25, 03:51 PM
Tampa Bay Buccaneers RB Sean Tucker ran 7 times for 52 yards and a touchdown in Sunday's 43-13 win over the Carolina Panthers. He was projected for 1.2 fantasy points (half-PPR) and finished with 11.2.
| Footballguys view: Tucker broke away for a 46-yard score when the game was out of hand and he slipped on a goal to go opportunity earlier in the game. Kenny Gainwell did get a little banged up in this game, but Tucker won't be rosterable in typical redraft leagues unless Bucky Irving goes down. |

Buccaneers | Hurst held to 0 catches for 0 yards in win over Panthers Sun Oct 25, 03:51 PM
Tampa Bay Buccaneers WR Ted Hurst III caught 0 passes for 0 yards on 1 target in Sunday's 43-13 win over the Carolina Panthers. He was projected for 7.5 fantasy points (half-PPR) and finished with 0.0.
| Footballguys view: Hurst drew a pass interference penalty, but otherwise wasn't really needed on an afternoon when Baker Mayfield threw only 11 passes. The Bucs jumped out to a 17-0 lead and never looked back. This isn't going to be a vertical pass offense - and that's Hurst's strength - so he's only worth rostering in very deep redraft leagues. In dynasty, on the other hand, the promising third round pick shouldn't be on the waiver wire. |

Buccaneers | Irving runs for 106 yards, two TDs in win over Panthers Sun Oct 25, 03:51 PM
Tampa Bay Buccaneers RB Bucky Irving ran 24 times for 106 yards and two touchdowns and also caught 1 pass for 4 yards on 2 targets in Sunday's 43-13 win over the Carolina Panthers. He was projected for 13.4 fantasy points (half-PPR) and finished with 23.5.
| Footballguys view: Irving touched the ball 11 times on the opening drive out of 14 plays, including on the touchdown. Zac Robinson was comfortable riding Bijan Robinson as the offensive coordinator in Atlanta, and that is what he has done in the Bucs two wins this season. If Tampa can beat Atlanta next week, they will be in the thick of the NFC South race after starting 1-5 now that they have a road win against the division leading (at 3-3) Panthers. |

Panthers | Coker held to 1 catch for 9 yards in loss to Buccaneers Sun Oct 25, 03:51 PM
Carolina Panthers WR Jalen Coker caught 1 pass for 9 yards on 4 targets in Sunday's 43-13 loss to the Tampa Bay Buccaneers. He was projected for 14.1 fantasy points (half-PPR) and finished with 1.4.
| Footballguys view: Nothing worked for the Panthers on offense today in an embarrassing blowout home loss. Don't put this on Coker, and do know that the Bucs pass defense is underrated as they have frustrated Joe Burrow, Jordan Love, and Dak Prescott so far this season. Tampa Bay will face Michael Penix and the Panthers will face Love in Green Bay next week trying to hold onto first place in the NFC South. |

Texans | RB Woody Marks returns to the game Sun Oct 25, 03:46 PM
Texans RB Woody Marks (leg) has returned to Sunday's game against the Giants after being injured in the third quarter.
| Footballguys view: Marks walked off the field under his own power and briefly went into the blue medical tent on the Texans' sideline. Dare Ogunbowale briefly replaced Marks, with David Montgomery missing another game. Marks finished the game with 19 carries for 66 yards and one catch for 15 yards. The Texans have a Week 8 bye, and it's possible Montgomery could return for Week 9. |

Falcons | Drake London returns to game after concussion evaluation Sun Oct 25, 02:59 PM
Falcons WR Drake London returned to Sunday's game against the 49ers just a few plays after he was evaluated for a concussion. London had been listed as questionable to return while being evaluated.
| Footballguys view: As Pro Football Focus noted, while some teams have had terrible wide receiver luck, the Falcons have stayed relatively healthy at the position this season. But a healthy London is a difference maker for the Falcons and fantasy managers. With seven catches for 66 yards and a touchdown against the 49ers, London was WR11 through Sunday's late-afternoon games. The Falcons play the Buccaneers in Week 8. |

Buccaneers RB Kenny Gainwell suffered a hip injury in Sunday's game against the Panthers. His return was initially characterized as questionable, but Gainwell was able to get back on the field.
| Footballguys view: Gainwell carried the ball 14 times for 88 yards. He wasn't targeted in the passing game. With Bucky Irving leading the way and Sean Tucker nibbling away at the available opportunities, Gainwell's fantasy stock remains low. |

Giants RB Tyrone Tracy Jr. (hamstring) did not return against the Texans on Sunday. Tracy was injured in the second quarter and was listed as questionable to return. WR Jalin Hyatt was back to return kickoffs alongside WR Charlie Jones.
| Footballguys view: Tracy scored before he left the game, but did not return. Cam Skattebo came on late as the the lead back, with a 16-yard score that featured broken tackles and a a 42-yard run in overtime where he pulled up and it appeared he might have hurt his hamstring. We'll be monitoring the Giants beat for more news about Skattebo, but going into the bye we might not get specifics about either until after the week off for the Giants. |
