If Zach Wilson shows improvement upon his return, which could be this week against the Houston Texans (2-8), the Jets could walk out of the season knowing they have two important pieces to succeed in a passing-crazed league.

The story was mostly about the emergence of Elijah Moore over the past several weeks. Moore has scored a TD in three-straight games and none of them have come from second overall pick Wilson, who has remained out of the lineup. The Jets are likely looking forward to seeing the Wilson-Moore connection get on the field as soon as possible, as the two look to be a bright spot in the team's future success.

The Cowboys will be without two of their top WRs for Week 12, Amari Cooper (COVID) and CeeDee Lamb (concussion).

Related players: Michael Gallup, Dalton Schultz, Cedrick Wilson

Lamb suffered a concussion in Week 11 against the Chiefs and Rapoport said the timing likely prevents him from getting back on the field before the slate of Thanksgiving Day games. Rapoport added that's not official as of yet, but four days would likely be too quick of a turnaround for exiting the league's protocol. Meanwhile, Cooper's COVID window takes him through Week 12's game. Gallup and Wilson look to be the team's top-two WRs with TE Schultz likely getting involved as well.

Cowboys WR Amari Cooper has been placed on the reserve/COVID-19 list.

Cooper will miss Sunday's game and is in danger of missing Thanksgiving afternoon's game against the Las Vegas Raiders.

WFT WR Curtis Samuel (groin) is questionable for Week 11's game against the Carolina Panthers. TE Ricky Seals-Jones (hip) will miss Week 11.

Related Players: John Bates, Sammis Reyes

WFT is extremely thin at tight end, but John Bates looked good in his first extended look. Samuel's positive week of practice could be parlayed into his first start in a month. It is also a revenge game scenario for Samuel, a narrative that could make him a flex option Week 11.

The New York Jets plant to start QB Joe Flacco Week 11 against the Miami Dolphins.

Related Players: Mike White, Zach Wilson

Wilson is not ready to take over at QB, but his doubtful tag last week is a sign it could be sooner than later. Mike White was bad Week 10 and the Jets are hoping Flacco can handle Miami's Cover Zero defense better than White.

For two weeks, quarterback Mike White took the New York Jets and their success-starved fan base on a joy ride, thrilling them with the allure of wild possibilities. The whole thing crashed Sunday with 11:47 remaining in the third quarter, when he tried to throw a 21-point touchdown pass -- a reckless deep ball that was intercepted by the Buffalo Bills.

White didn't just turn into a pumpkin in the 45-17 loss at MetLife Stadium; he turned into Zach Wilson, which is to say he stepped out of character and made bad decisions with the ball.

The story said it's time to turn back to Wilson at QB, who could be able to play and start this week, but is "still dealing with stuff," according to HC Robert Saleh from the story. It would make sense to refocus back to Wilson, who was the number-two overall pick. White did go up against the Bills, but as the story said, his bubble kind of burst. Wilson starting this week will obviously depend on his health. The team didn't commit to anyone so far for Week 3, but Flacco did come on in relief of White.

Bills TE Dawson Knox (hand) will play Week 10 at the New York Jets.

Big addition to the offense after missing a few games with a broken hand. Knox has TE1 upside in his first game back.

WFT WR Curtis Samuel (groin) will not play week 10, while WR Dyami Brown (knee) is questionable.

Samuel's season feels like a total 'L,' while Brown's anticipated return is good for him rest of season and as a dynasty target in 2022.

Jets HC Robert Saleh told reporters Friday that RB Tevin Coleman (hamstring) and WR Corey Davis (hip) will play Week 10 against the Buffalo Bills.

This could be bad news for fringe Jets players but an overall plus for the offense against one of the best defenses in football.
