Garrett Wilson placed in concussion protocol

Key Points:

  • Jets wide receiver Garrett Wilson has been placed in the NFL concussion protocol after sustaining a head injury in Week 8, making his participation in Week 9 uncertain; he accounts for a significant portion of the Jets' targets and air yards.
  • With Wilson's potential absence, Adonai Mitchell, Omar Cooper, and Mason Taylor become more viable fantasy options, although Cooper remains a volatile WR3 due to inconsistent target share.
  • Despite Wilson's recent frustrations and competition from emerging teammates, he remains a must-start WR2 when healthy, while Cooper is showing promising upside, including back-to-back 100-yard games as a rookie.
  • Several key players are dealing with injuries ahead of Week 9: Lions' Amon-Ra St. Brown is limited but expected to play; Cardinals' Isaiah Adams is returning from IR; 49ers' Demarcus Robinson and Nick Bosa are returning to practice, while Mike Evans and Deebo Samuel remain questionable.
  • Jaguars' Jakobi Meyers is expected to play despite limited practice due to hamstring/ankle issues, while edge rusher Travon Walker is questionable with a ribs injury; David Montgomery will miss Week 9, with Woody Marks starting in his place.
