Suspect in custody in shooting of Jets' Kris Boyd

Field Level Media

A person of interest was in custody Monday in New York in the Nov. 16 shooting that left Jets cornerback Kris Boyd in critical condition, multiple outlets reported.

The suspect was apprehended in upstate Buffalo one week after the New York Police Department released surveillance images of the incident.

Boyd was taken to Bellevue Hospital following a midtown Manhattan shooting shortly after 2 a.m. He was able to conduct a brief interview with NYPD detectives to provide information and vital details about the incident.

Reports in the aftermath of the shooting indicated Boyd had a bullet lodged in his lung and underwent multiple surgeries in his first 24 hours at the hospital.

Boyd was upgraded to stable condition on Nov. 19, according to an NYPD spokesperson, and eventually released from the hospital. He was readmitted Nov. 28 after a setback during his recovery.

"I was released but had to return to the hospital due to my health issues," Boyd posted on social media. "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!"

In its ongoing attempt to locate a suspect, the NYPD initially released a physical description of the primary suspect as part of a New York Crimestoppers Alert.

The alert had two images of the alleged suspect, which records showed took place outside of a restaurant on West 38th Street near Seventh Avenue. NYPD described the suspect as "male, medium complexion, last seen wearing a black cap, black sweatshirt, black pants, multi-colored sneakers, and carrying a black bookbag."

It has not been revealed if Boyd was targeted in the shooting and a motive has yet to be revealed.

Boyd, 29, signed with the Jets in March but has not played in a game this season because of a shoulder injury. He has 81 games of NFL experience (six starts) with the Minnesota Vikings, Arizona Cardinals and Houston Texans from 2019-24.

Five Fantasy Takeaways: Week 14

Player Notes
Devon Achane Dec 8 1:40pm CT
Devon Achane

Miami Dolphins running back De'Von Achane (ribs) left Sunday's blowout win over the Jets with a rib injury, which may now require additional rest, according to head coach Mike McDaniel. Achane has since had an MRI, and McDaniel told reporters on Monday that his star running back made it very clear that he could have returned to the game despite obvious discomfort. On only seven carries on Sunday, Achane recorded 92 rushing yards and a touchdown, while bringing in his only target for an additional 13 yards. On the season, he has been the overall RB4 in Half-PPR formats, and with one of the most favorable schedules for the fantasy playoffs, he will likely be part of many championship-winning rosters if he isn't forced to miss any time. The Dolphins play the Steelers on Monday night, so fantasy managers won't see an official injury report until Thursday.

Daniel Jones Dec 8 1:30pm CT
Daniel Jones

An MRI on Monday officially confirmed that Indianapolis Colts quarterback Daniel Jones (Achilles) has torn his Achilles and will miss the rest of the season. Jones suffered the non-contact injury in the first quarter of a Week 14 loss to the Jaguars and was replaced by 6th-round rookie Riley Leonard. Anthony Richardson Sr. (eye) remains on IR and has not been cleared for football activities after a Week 6 pregame incident with a resistance band fractured his orbital bone, requiring surgery. Heading into Sunday, the only other quarterback in the building was practice squad veteran Brett Rypien, so the team is expected to add additional depth before a Week 15 matchup with the Seahawks. Playing over 75% of the Colts' offensive snaps on Sunday, Leonard threw for 145 yards, zero touchdowns, and an interception, while adding five yards and a rushing touchdown on the ground. With an unenviable schedule against the Seahawks, 49ers, and Jaguars, pass catchers Alec Pierce, Michael Pittman Jr., and Tyler Warren suddenly become less appealing plays for the fantasy playoffs, while Jonathan Taylor will likely be tasked with handling an even larger workload down the stretch.

Jaylen Wright Dec 8 1:13pm CT
Jaylen Wright

Dynasty | Dolphins running back Jaylen Wright had 107 rushing yards and a touchdown in a win against the Jets. Dynasty Analysis: Wright took over after De'Von Achane had to leave the game with an injury and immediately showed his immense upside. It's been a frustrating run for Wright, who is just buried on the depth chart behind a superior player. However, we also see a running back who should get a chance at some point to be a starter in the NFL. Wright remains a solid hold in dynasty leagues.

Tyrod Taylor Dec 8 1:13pm CT
Tyrod Taylor

Dynasty | Jets quarterback Brady Cook completed 14-of-30 passes for 163 yards with no touchdowns and two interceptions in a loss to the Dolphins. Dynasty Analysis: Cook went from the practice squad to the game this week when Tyrod Taylor exited with a groin injury. It was a rough day for the rookie but hardly his fault as he was never expected to play. With Justin Fields nursing a knee injury, he could start next week. Cook could be an add in Superflex leagues if you need a starter but is hardly looking like a long-term asset.

From Dynasty League Fantasy

Lamar Jackson Dec 8 1:13pm CT
Lamar Jackson

Dynasty | Ravens quarterback Lamar Jackson completed 19-of-35 passes for 219 yards with one touchdown and one interception in a loss to the Steelers. Dynasty Analysis: Jackson has simply not looked like an MVP this year as the Ravens now sit at 6-7 and are in clear danger of missing the playoffs. He did add 43 yards and a score on the ground but he needs to be better as we move into the fantasy playoff run. Jackson will be a QB1 next week but not an elite option and his ADP and dynasty value are starting to show some cracks.

Devin Neal Dec 8 1:13pm CT
Devin Neal

Dynasty | Saints running back Devin Neal had 70 rushing yards, one catch, 14 receiving yards, and scored a touchdown in an upset win over the Bucs. Dynasty Analysis: Neal simply looked better than the injured Alvin Kamara has all season and helped New Orleans pull off one of the year's biggest upsets in the process. Neal's performance will likely keep Kamara on the sidelines a bit longer as the Saints will want to see what they have in him. His ADP and ranking will certainly be on the rise after he showed he can be capable of starting in the league.

Daniel Jones Dec 8 1:13pm CT
Daniel Jones

Dynasty | Colts quarterback Daniel Jones has a torn Achilles and will be lost for the season. Dynasty Analysis: The Colts were already starting to fade and this will be a devastating blow to their playoff chances. Indianapolis was once looking like the top seed for the playoffs but have now fallen to 8-5 and are in danger of missing the playoffs altogether now. As for Jones, he'll re-enter free agency this off-season and his chance of a huge payday just went up in smoke. His ADP and ranking will slide now as he likely won't be ready for the beginning of next season and his future is in serious doubt.

Tony Pollard Dec 8 1:13pm CT
Tony Pollard

Dynasty | Titans running back Tony Pollard had 161 rushing yards and two touchdowns in a win against Cleveland. Dynasty Analysis: Pollard has been relatively quiet all season as the Titans have struggled mightily. A date with the Browns somehow changed that as he routinely made big plays on the day. This will likely go down as his best fantasy day of the season, so anyone who started him has to be thrilled. Pollard's ADP and ranking have fallen all year as he's aged on a bad team and that likely won't step, despite this solid day.

Shedeur Sanders Dec 8 1:13pm CT
Shedeur Sanders

Dynasty | Browns quarterback Shedeur Sanders completed 23-of-42 passes for 364 yards with three touchdowns and one interception while adding 29 rushing yards and another score in a loss to the Titans. Dynasty Analysis: Tennessee made Sanders look like an All-Pro in this one. Still, you have to give Sanders a lot of credit as he posted the best day by far for a Cleveland quarterback this season. He's clearly going to be given the rest of the season to showcase his abilities and it looks like Cleveland may be preparing for a Deshaun Watson and Shedeur Sanders quarterback battle next off-season. Sanders is still overvalued in most dynasty leagues but the gap is closing.

Harold Fannin Jr. Dec 8 1:13pm CT
Harold Fannin Jr.

Dynasty | Browns tight end Harold Fannin had eight catches for 114 yards and a touchdown in a loss to the Titans. Dynasty Analysis: The Browns are in the middle of yet another lost season but Fannin is hardly the one to blame. The rookie tight end now has a 59/619/4 line on the season and looks like a possible future TE1. His arrow continues to point straight up.

From Dynasty League Fantasy

Jayden Daniels Dec 8 1:13pm CT
Jayden Daniels

Dynasty | Commanders quarterback Jayden Daniels completed just 9-of-20 passes for 78 yards with one interception in a loss to the Vikings. Dynasty Analysis: He added 16 scoreless yards on the ground. To make matters even worse, he had to leave the game in the third quarter after re-injuring his elbow. The 3-10 Commanders say he could have come back but it's honestly hard to see why he should even play the rest of the way. Daniels' dynasty value has taken a hit this year as concerns about his durability have seemed to come back.

Justin Jefferson Dec 8 1:13pm CT
Justin Jefferson

Dynasty | Vikings quarterback JJ McCarthy completed 16-of-23 passes for 163 yards with three touchdowns and no interceptions in a blowout win against Washington. Dynasty Analysis: And with that, there's hope. McCarthy was efficient in this one and while his yards per attempt are that of a game manager and the fact he simply cannot find Justin Jefferson is troublesome, McCarthy at least looked capable this week. He'll need to string together more good performances to avoid Minnesota looking for competition next season if it's not already too late. McCarthy's ADP plunge will at least pause for a week.

Daniel Jones Dec 8 1:13pm CT
Daniel Jones

Dynasty | Seahawks quarterback Sam Darnold completed 20-of-30 passes for 249 yards with three touchdowns and one interception in a win against Atlanta. Dynasty Analysis: And yet again, Darnold feasted on a bad team. This is the narrative so far again this year for Danold, who has looked amazing when the lights aren't bright and awful when they are. It's a concern in reality but his fantasy season has been anything but a disaster. He should be solid again next week as he'll take on a Daniel Jones-less Colts squad. Darnold's value is pretty static at the moment.

Kirk Cousins Dec 8 1:13pm CT
Kirk Cousins

Dynasty | Falcons quarterback Kirk Cousins completed 15-of-30 passes for 162 yards with no touchdowns and two interceptions in a loss to Seattle. Dynasty Analysis: In parts of five games this season, Cousins has thrown for 845 yards with three touchdowns and three interceptions, looking nothing like his old self and everything like a backup quarterback in the NFL. At this point, dynasty managers not in a Superflex league need to move on as his value is near zero.

Ashton Jeanty Dec 8 1:13pm CT
Ashton Jeanty

Dynasty | Raiders rookie running back Ashton Jeanty had 30 rushing yards, two catches and eight receiving yards in a loss to the Broncos. Dynasty Analysis: As the fantasy playoffs arrive, Jeanty is borderline unplayable. It's been an amazing run of total ineptitude in Las Vegas as Jeanty has essentially endured a lost season. This just doesn't seem like a "Trent Richardson" situation where a "can't miss" running backs busts, but Jeanty now has just 665 rushing yards and four touchdowns on an anemic 3.5 yards per carry. Jeanty's grasp on his elite-level dynasty ranking has slipped through his fingers this year.

CeeDee Lamb Dec 8 12:40pm CT
CeeDee Lamb

Updating a previous report, Dallas Cowboys executive vice president Stephen Jones said on 105.3 The Fan on Monday that wide receiver CeeDee Lamb (concussion) is "doing a good job" after suffering a concussion in last Thursday night's loss to the Detroit Lions, according to Jon Machota of The Athletic. "He's meeting all the thresholds that you need to meet that will get him to where he can play this week. So far, he's had no setbacks," Jones added. The 26-year-old had six catches on eight targets for a season-high 121 yards before getting hurt, but it remains to be seen whether he'll actually be cleared from the NFL's concussion protocol in time to play on Sunday night against the Minnesota Vikings in Week 15. Lamb is headed in the right direction, but fantasy managers will want to keep a close eye on his progress this week. Ryan Flournoy, who had nine catches, 115 yards and a TD last week, would be in play as an upside flex against Minnesota if Lamb is not cleared.

Shedeur Sanders Dec 8 12:20pm CT
Shedeur Sanders

Cleveland Browns rookie quarterback Shedeur Sanders will be the team's starting QB for the rest of the 2025 season, head coach Kevin Stefanski announced on Monday. The announcement comes a day after Sanders had by far his best performance in his third career start in Sunday's 31-29 loss to the visiting Tennessee Titans. The 23-year-old went 23-for-42 passing for 364 yards, three touchdowns, and an interception while adding three carries for 29 yards and a fourth touchdown. His TD passes went to receiver Jerry Jeudy and tight ends Harold Fannin Jr. and David Njoku. Sanders nearly led the Browns to a comeback in the fourth quarter, but they failed on a two-point conversion to tie the game. The fifth-rounder out of Colorado can extend plays with his legs and has been aggressive in pushing the ball down the field. Sanders will have a stiff test in Week 15 on the road against a ball-hawking Bears defense.

Matthew Golden Dec 8 12:10pm CT
Matthew Golden

ESPN's Rob Demovsky writes that Green Bay Packers rookie first-round wide receiver Matthew Golden (wrist) was limited by his wrist injury in the Week 14 win over the Chicago Bears on Sunday. Dontayvion Wicks (ankle) was also limited, allowing Bo Melton to step into the No. 4 receiver role. Melton's only catch of the game was a big 45-yard touchdown. The 22-year-old Golden returned to action on Sunday and disappointed, failing to haul in his only target while playing just five offensive snaps. The Texas product had missed the previous two games with shoulder and wrist injuries. Golden should have a bigger role in a Week 15 matchup on the road against the 11-2 Denver Broncos, but fantasy managers just cannot trust him in a tough matchup while being buried in a crowded receiving corps that just got Jayden Reed back from Injured Reserve.

Jonathon Brooks Dec 8 12:00pm CT
Jonathon Brooks

Carolina Panthers running back Jonathon Brooks (knee) is exactly a year removed from tearing his right ACL for a second time, but he said that he feels "pretty much almost 100 percent again," according to Joe Person of The Athletic. Brooks is doing straight-line running and hopes to start mixing in full-speed cutting and route running soon. Barring a setback, he could return to the practice field in the spring for organized team activities (OTAs). The 22-year-old was the team's second-round pick back in 2024 out of Texas. Since his injury, the Panthers signed Rico Dowdle in free agency and took Trevor Etienne in the fourth round of this year's draft. Dowdle has been one of the best backs in the NFL this year and has formed a dangerous 1-2 punch in Carolina's backfield with Chuba Hubbard. Any expectations fantasy managers holding Brooks might have in dynasty/keeper leagues must be tempered by concerns of injury risk.

Dontayvion Wicks Dec 8 11:50am CT
Dontayvion Wicks

ESPN's Rob Demovsky says that both Green Bay Packers wide receivers Dontayvion Wicks (ankle) and Matthew Golden (wrist) were limited due to their injuries in the Week 14 win over the Chicago Bears, allowing Bo Melton to move into the No. 4 receiver spot. Melton caught a big 45-yard touchdown pass on his only reception of the day. Wicks only played 11% of the offensive snaps on Sunday, with Golden playing 9% of the snaps. Wicks wasn't targeted at all, while Golden was unable to secure his lone target on the day at Lambeau Field. Both Wicks and Golden figure to be on the field more if they can put their respective injuries behind them, but Green Bay's receiving corps is now as healthy as it has been all year with the return of Jayden Reed. Wicks' six-catch, 94-yard, two-touchdown performance on Thanksgiving will most likely end up being an outlier performance in 2025.
