Jets' Kris Boyd back in hospital due to 'health issues' from shooting

Fri Nov 28 8:40pm ET
Field Level Media

New York Jets cornerback Kris Boyd has been hospitalized again, less than two weeks after he suffered a gunshot wound, while police continue to search for the gunman.

Boyd was shot in the early hours of Nov. 16 during a confrontation outside a Midtown Manhattan restaurant. Authorities said the round entered his abdomen, then migrated into his lung and lodged near the pulmonary artery, leading to multiple procedures.

He later posted on social media that he'd begun breathing without assistance, but on Wednesday night told his followers he'd been readmitted.

"I was released but had to return to the hospital due to my health issues," Boyd wrote in part. "I love and appreciate everyone of yall dearly who has prayed/reached out even if I can't get back to you.

"Head HIGH, God is not through with me yet!"

Jets coach Aaron Glenn said Friday the team was informed Boyd had experienced a setback and returned for treatment, noting the Jets are still gathering details. A team spokesperson offered no additional update.

The NYPD has identified a person of interest with help from a CrimeStoppers tip, and surveillance video reportedly shows the suspect fleeing on foot before entering a white BMW a few blocks away. No arrests have been made.

Police said the incident began with an argument between groups as Boyd, accompanied by teammates Jamien Sherwood and Irvin Charles and another friend, left the venue shortly after 2 a.m. Boyd was taken to Bellevue Hospital and initially listed in critical but stable condition.

The 29-year-old, who landed on injured reserve in August with a shoulder injury, has not played this season. Boyd previously spent time with the Vikings, Texans and Cardinals.

Starts, Sits, Sleepers: Week 13

Player Notes
Brock Bowers Nov 29 10:50am ET
Brock Bowers

Las Vegas Raiders tight end Brock Bowers recorded six catches for 55 yards on nine targets last week's loss to the Cleveland Browns. It was a quiet day for the star tight end who salvaged his day with four catches for 35 yards on the Raiders' final two drives in ultimate garbage time, with the game's outcome already decided. Bowers will look to bounce back in a major way in Week 13 against the Los Angeles Chargers, where the Raiders offense could look a bit different after the team dismissed offensive coordinator Chip Kelly. Bowers recorded five catches for 38 yards on eight targets in their Week 2 meeting when he was banged up with a knee injury. The second-year tight ranks as a top-two option again in Week 13 and should be locked into all fantasy lineups.

Trevor Lawrence Nov 29 10:50am ET
Trevor Lawrence

Jacksonville Jaguars quarterback Trevor Lawrence doesn't seem to have much upside heading into a Week 13 matchup with the Tennessee Titans. The division rival has the worst record in football, likely meaning a run-heavy game for the Jacksonville offense. That means unless Lawrence can get touchdowns early, then it's hard to see him having a great fantasy day. He should do solid, but the combination of a likely great defensive outing producing points and good field position along with a potentially run heavy game plan limits Lawrence's upside greatly. He remains firmly a QB2 in Week 13.

Tre Tucker Nov 29 10:40am ET
Tre Tucker

Las Vegas Raiders wide receiver Tre Tucker is coming off seeing a career high of 10 targets in Week 12 against the Cleveland Browns. Tucker recorded just three receptions for 28 yards, but the volume of targets was positive to see. The 24-year-old was listed on the injury report this week due to a knee injury, but practiced in full on Thursday and Friday and heads into Sunday without an injury designation. The Las Vegas offense could look different in Week 13 against the Los Angeles Chargers after the firing of offensive coordinator Chip Kelly earlier in the week. Tucker is still a risky fantasy option in 12-team leagues against a Chargers defense that has allowed the second-fewest PPR points per game to opposing wide receivers.

Baker Mayfield Nov 29 10:40am ET
Baker Mayfield

Tampa Bay Buccaneers quarterback Baker Mayfield (shoulder) is expected to play on Sunday against the visiting Arizona Cardinals in Week 13, and ESPN's Jeremy Fowler reports that Mayfield could wear some tape with some protective padding on his injured left (non-throwing) shoulder. It won't be a huge brace protecting the low-grade AC joint sprain that the 30-year-old signal-caller suffered in the Week 12 loss to the Los Angeles Rams. Mayfield is officially listed as questionable to play this weekend, but he should be out there against the Cardinals as the Bucs look to end their three-game losing streak. Although Mayfield looked good throwing the football during practice this week, he will be more risky as a starting QB in fantasy football this weekend while at risk of an in-game setback while probably not playing at 100%. Mayfield is more of a midrange to low-end QB2 in Week 13.

Ashton Jeanty Nov 29 10:30am ET
Ashton Jeanty

Las Vegas Raiders rookie running back Ashton Jeanty hasn't found consistent running room this season behind a lackluster offensive line, totaling 166 carries for 604 yards (3.6 YPC) and four touchdowns while adding 37 receptions for 221 yards and four more scores on 46 targets as a receiver. Jeanty injured his ankle in Week 12's loss to the Browns, but he is off the injury report heading into Sunday. His involvement in the passing game has helped save his fantasy outputs in recent weeks, with 22 receptions (26 targets) for 135 yards and two touchdowns in the past four games. The sixth overall pick in this past year's draft is averaging just 2.9 yards per carry in that four-game span. The Raiders fired offensive coordinator Chip Kelly earlier in the week, so the offense could look a little different in Week 13 against the Los Angeles Chargers. Jeanty ranks as RotoBaller's RB20 for Week 13.

Geno Smith Nov 29 10:20am ET
Geno Smith

Las Vegas Raiders quarterback Geno Smith took a career-high 10 sacks in last week's loss to the Cleveland Browns and completed 30 of 44 passes for 285 yards with a touchdown. The offense could look a little different in Week 13 against the Chargers after the Raiders dismissed offensive coordinator Chip Kelly earlier in the week, with Greg Olson taking over. Smith will look to bounce back on Sunday against the Chargers and deliver a better performance than when they met back in Week 2, where he threw three interceptions. Smith isn't a recommended fantasy option in Week 13, ranking as RotoBaller's QB30 for the week.

Michael Badgley Nov 29 10:10am ET
Michael Badgley

Indianapolis Colts kicker Michael Badgley has shown solid accuracy across six games for his team this season, hitting nine of his 10 field-goal attempts and 17 of 19 extra points. The veteran kicker kept it going in last week's loss to the Kansas City Chiefs, hitting both of his field goals and adding two extra points. Badgley will now head home to face off against the Houston Texans in Week 13. The Texans have been excellent against opposing kickers this season, allowing the fewest fantasy points per game to the position thus far. The Colts have provided plenty of scoring opportunities for their kickers this season, but this sets up as one of their toughest matchups yet. Badgley settles in outside of the top-12 fantasy kickers this week, but he can still be started in a pinch.

Chris Godwin Nov 29 10:10am ET
Chris Godwin

Tampa Bay Buccaneers wide receiver Chris Godwin Jr. (leg) will suit up for the second straight week after missing five games due to a leg injury. Godwin was limited last week as he played only 36 percent of the offensive snaps. During that time, Godwin hauled in two of his four targets for nine yards in the loss to the Los Angeles Rams. The expectation is that Godwin will see a larger workload going forward. However, it's unknown how well the Bucs will do passing the ball with Baker Mayfield (shoulder) dealing with an AC joint injury. Godwin wasn't impressive when he was healthy earlier in the season. Fantasy managers should put him on the flex radar for this upcoming matchup against the Arizona Cardinals.

Kenneth Walker III Nov 29 10:00am ET
Kenneth Walker III

Seattle Seahawks running back Kenneth Walker III (glute) was cleared from the team's injury report and is good to go for Sunday's matchup against the Minnesota Vikings. Walker separated a bit from Zach Charbonnet in Week 12 against the Titans, posting his highest snap share of the season (63.8%) while Charbonnet had his lowest (31.9%). The 25-year-old Walker has also gone over 100 yards from scrimmage in each of the past two games on 33 combined touches, with Charbonnet staying involved, but with only 19 touches in the past two weeks. Notably, Walker has earned more red-zone carries recently than earlier in the year, but has only found the end zone once. It seems the coaching staff is trending towards using Walker more as the lead back moving forward, which bodes well for his fantasy value as he's always been dynamic with his opportunities. Walker ranks as RotoBaller's RB21 in PPR leagues for Week 13 against the Minnesota Vikings.

Marvin Harrison Jr. Nov 29 9:40am ET
Marvin Harrison Jr.

Arizona Cardinals wide receiver Marvin Harrison Jr. (illness) is listed as questionable for Week 13 against the Tampa Bay Buccaneers after being limited every day in practice this week. Harrison has been recovering from appendectomy surgery, which has caused him to miss the past two games. His status for Sunday is not officially known yet, but he is trending in the right direction. The second-year wideout should have appeal in Week 13 if he can return with how much pass volume Arizona has had with Jacoby Brissett at quarterback. It will be interesting to see how he fits back into the offense with Michael Wilson breaking out in his absence, but Harrison should reclaim his role as the top wideout in the passing game alongside star tight end Trey McBride. He ranks as RotoBaller's WR27 in PPR leagues for Sunday's matchup against a Bucs defense that has allowed the 10th most PPR points per game to opposing wide receivers.

Chase McLaughlin Nov 29 9:30am ET
Chase McLaughlin

Tampa Bay Buccaneers kicker Chase McLaughlin gave fantasy managers a dud during last week's loss to the Los Angeles Rams. McLaughlin didn't see much action as he made his lone extra point attempt in the loss. McLaughlin didn't attempt any field goals in what was an ugly day for the Bucs offense. The hope is that things get better against the Arizona Cardinals in Week 13. However, quarterback Baker Mayfield (shoulder) is dealing with an AC joint injury which could limit this offense. McLaughlin has been reliable when called upon, so as long as the Bucs can get in scoring position then he'll be able to succeed this weekend.

Zonovan Knight Nov 29 9:30am ET
Zonovan Knight

Arizona Cardinals running back Bam Knight (knee) is questionable for Week 13 against the Tampa Bay Buccaneers, but is expected to play on Sunday. With Trey Benson (knee) ruled out for his eighth consecutive game, and Emari Demercado (ankle) sidelined again, Knight is in to draw the start and split touches with Michael Carter. Carter has outsnapped Knight in the past two weeks with the same situation, but Knight holds the touch advantage with 23 compared to Carter's 15 in the past two games. The 24-year-old hasn't been efficient as a runner, recording 15 carries for 36 yards to go with eight receptions for 41 yards on nine targets, but has found the end zone in both games to return some fantasy value. Knight should lead Arizona in touches again on Sunday against a Bucs defense that has allowed the 11-most PPR points per game to opposing running backs. He ranks as RotoBaller's RB36 in PPR leagues for Week 13.

Daniel Jones Nov 29 9:30am ET
Daniel Jones

Indianapolis Colts quarterback Daniel Jones (fibula) has been dealing with a fractured fibula, per reports but he intends to play in Week 13 against the Houston Texans. Jones was limited in practice on Wednesday before practicing fully on Thursday and Friday. He draws a difficult matchup against a Houston defense that is allowing the fewest fantasy points per game to opposing quarterbacks this season. The tough matchup, coupled with Jones' injury, makes it tough to trust him in fantasy this weekend. Treat him as a low-end QB2 who can be benched if you have a better quarterback option on your bench.

Bucky Irving Nov 29 9:10am ET
Bucky Irving

Tampa Bay Buccaneers running back Bucky Irving (shoulder, foot) is on track to return to the field for Sunday's Week 13 matchup against the Arizona Cardinals. Irving practiced in full all week, which puts him on track to play, barring any setbacks. This will be the first time that Irving has played since Week 4. That being said, Irving is expected to be limited in terms of snaps during his first game back. The Bucs have two other capable options in Sean Tucker and Rachaad White as well. This could turn into a three-back committee which would be bad news for fantasy managers. The Bucs might decide to ride the hot hand in what could be a run-heavy gameplan given quarterback Baker Mayfield (shoulder) is dealing with an AC joint issue. It's tough to trust Irving as more than a high-end flex option during his first game back.

From RotoBaller

Baker Mayfield Nov 29 9:00am ET
Baker Mayfield

Tampa Bay Buccaneers quarterback Baker Mayfield (shoulder) is expected to suit up for the Week 13 matchup against the Arizona Cardinals. Mayfield suffered a low-grade AC joint sprain to his left shoulder during last week's game. The plan is to protect his shoulder which could result in a slightly different gameplan. He was able to get through a full practice session on Friday, which puts him in the right direction for Sunday's contest. Mayfield has been held to under 200 passing yards in three of his last four games. He's clearly not 100 percent healthy, so fantasy managers can't count on him as much as they could earlier in the season. The 30-year-old should be viewed as a high-end QB2 with a favorable matchup against the Cardinals defense.

Alec Pierce Nov 29 8:30am ET
Alec Pierce

Indianapolis Colts wide receiver Alec Pierce turned in a quiet outing in a Week 12 loss to the Kansas City Chiefs, catching just one of his two targets for 26 yards. Overall, Pierce has been a solid fantasy producer this season, catching 29 passes for 611 yards and one touchdown in nine games. Pierce will look to stay productive in a Week 13 home matchup against the Houston Texans. The Texans have been tough on opposing wideouts, allowing just the 29th-most fantasy points per game to the position. With a 21.1 yards per catch average, Pierce offers intriguing boom potential in fantasy, which keeps him in the conversation as a WR3 in Week 13 despite the difficult matchup.

Tyler Warren Nov 29 8:30am ET
Tyler Warren

Indianapolis Colts tight end Tyler Warren turned in another solid outing in a Week 12 loss to the Kansas City Chiefs, catching five of his seven targets for 45 yards. Warren has been an impressive rookie, catching 55 passes for 662 yards while scoring four all-purpose touchdowns in 11 games. He will look to keep it going in Week 13's home matchup against the Houston Texans. The Texans have been tough on tight ends this season, allowing just the 29th-most fantasy points per game to the position thus far. Warren remains a major piece of the Indy passing attack and should see plenty of work in Week 13, which keeps him in the top-six conversation at tight end despite the difficult matchup.

Michael Pittman Jr. Nov 29 8:20am ET
Michael Pittman Jr.

Indianapolis Colts wide receiver Michael Pittman Jr. continued to show a nose for the end zone in a Week 12 loss to the Kansas City Chiefs, catching his seventh touchdown in 11 games. He will look to keep it going at home against the Houston Texans in Week 13. The Texans have been a difficult matchup for receivers this season, allowing just the 29th-most fantasy points per game to the position thus far. Pittman has operated as the Colts' No. 1 receiver this season and should continue to see plenty of targets, which keeps him in the low-end WR2 conversation for Week 13 despite the tough matchup.

Josh Downs Nov 29 8:20am ET
Josh Downs

Indianapolis Colts wide receiver Josh Downs has been quiet of late, having caught just three of his eight targets for 13 scoreless yards over his past two games. Downs will look to get back on track at home against the Houston Texans in Week 13. The Texans represent a difficult matchup for Downs as they are allowing just the 29th-most fantasy points per game to opposing receivers this season. Downs has not been a priority target in the Indy passing attack this season, which has cut into his fantasy value. He sets up as a WR5 and is not a safe fantasy option heading into Week 13.

Jonathan Taylor Nov 29 7:50am ET
Jonathan Taylor

Indianapolis Colts running back Jonathan Taylor is coming off a rare slow outing for him as he gained just 58 scoreless yards in a loss to the Kansas City Chiefs in Week 12. Taylor will look to bounce back at home against the Houston Texans in Week 13. The Texans have been solid against the run this season, allowing just the 22nd-most fantasy points per game to opposing running backs thus far. Taylor has been one of the most dominant fantasy players in the league this season with 17 all-purpose touchdowns in 11 games and should be locked into starting lineups on a weekly basis regardless of his opponent. He sets up as a top-three fantasy running back for Week 13.
