Jets | Justin Fields showing off his arm Thu Jul 3, 11:47 AM
New York Jets QB Justin Fields has been making throws on the level of Aaron Rodgers, according to CB Sauce Gardner. 'And it's like Justin had made a few throws where I'm like, 'OK, he really been in the lab, for real,'' Gardner said.
| Footballguys view: Fields is a QB1 for Fantasy GMs because of his rushing ability. He's a low-end QB1, but there's an upside if he develops as a passer. Fields will be running a more creative offense than he did with the Steelers last year. ESPN's Rich Cimini reports the Jets offense under OC Tanner Engstrand will have a â€"Lions flavor to it.†|

Jets | Breece Hall unlikely to be dealt Sat Jun 28, 11:37 AM
New York Jets RB Breece Hall was reassured earlier this offseason by head coach Aaron Glenn that the team is not looking to trade him, even though he is entering the final season of his rookie contract.
| Footballguys view: Hall is a talented runner, and he's set to be the lead back for the Jets this year. Braelon Allen and Isaiah Davis are there to complement him in the backfield, and the Jets will use them behind Hall. In addition to what he can do on the ground, Hall is a good receiving option out of the backfield. His workload and three-down skill set makes him an RB2 with upside. |
Jets | Allen Lazard mentioned in trade rumors Sat Jun 28, 11:14 AM
New York Jets WR Allen Lazard's name has continued to be mentioned in trade rumors but the team is unlikely to deal him before the end of the preseason, as long as they are comfortable with their depth at wide receiver, in the opinion of ESPN.com's Rich Cimini.
| Footballguys view: Of course, Lazard's name is in trade rumors because Aaron Rodgers is with the Steelers. Could we see something happen before the start of the regular season? Well, anything is possible and everyone knows if Rodgers can get more of 'his guys' around him - he will. Let's see what the Jets think of their WRs behind Lazard on the depth chart, and that means this might string along through the preseason as evaluations continue. |
Jets | Mason Taylor making an impression as a blocker Thu Jun 26, 02:50 PM
New York Jets TE Mason Taylor flashed his potential as a pass-catcher during organized team activities, but head coach Aaron Glenn was more impressed with his blocking.'I think he's been doing an outstanding job in that aspect. And it's not just the pass catching, because that's what you guys see, that's what you guys really think is an a-ha moment, but the blocking is what really gets me going,' Glenn recently told the team's website.
| Footballguys view: It's not sexy, but being a great blocker is what can get Taylor on the field more often as a rookie. His skill as a pass-catcher is already known from his college tape, and Taylor should be used effectively in that role catching passes from QB Justin Fields. He's a TE2 as a rookie, but those who stream tight ends can look to Taylor for depth. |
Jets | Justin Fields putting in the work Thu Jun 26, 09:45 AM
New York Jets QB Justin Fields has been a 'workaholic' this offseason, according to offensive coordinator Tanner Engstrand. 'He comes in early, he's here late, and he's trying to digest everything and download all the information and do things the right way,' Engstrand said.
| Footballguys view: Fields has a chip on his shoulder, and that could benefit the Jets and Fantasy GMs out there. With his rushing ability, Fields is automatically a potential QB1 from a fantasy perspective. Add in the talent around him on offense like WR Garrett Wilson, and Fields could finish the season as a top-12 fantasy quarterback. If you're streaming quarterbacks, Fields is certainly an option you can get later in your drafts. |

Jets | Josh Myers in the mix for starting role Wed Jun 25, 01:38 AM
New York Jets C Josh Myers and C Joe Tippmann will be a 'legitimate competition for the starting center job,' according to The Athletic's Zack Rosenblatt, who notes that Tippmann was a draft pick from the previous head coach/general manager, and that Myers has more experience with 56 starts to Tippmann's 31, not all of which came at center. In addition, Rosenblatt mentions that Myers played with new QB Justin Fields at Ohio State, so the newcomer is 'getting a real shot' despite signing a modest one-year contract.
Link to story Jets | Garrett Wilson talking deal Sun Jun 22, 12:10 PM
New York Jets WR Garrett Wilson has started contract extension talks with the Jets, according to NFL Network's Ian Rapoport.
| Footballguys view: The Jets already picked up Wilson's fifth-year option for next year. But the 24-year-old receiver has shown enough upside that the team wants to make him a part of their long-term vision. While we've yet to see an immense breakout, Wilson has provided at least 1,000 receiving yards in each of his three seasons in the league. Now reunited with his college quarterback, Justin Fields, he'll hope for a career year to provide him additional leverage in negotiations. |
Jets | Malachi Corley will need to catch up Sat Jun 21, 02:11 PM
New York Jets WR Malachi Corley (undisclosed) missed some offseason practices because of an undisclosed injury and will have to find a way to catch himself up entering training camp, according to offensive coordinator Tanner Engstrand.
| Footballguys view: A third-round pick in the 2024 NFL Draft, Corley was a "YAC King" at Western Kentucky but only caught three passes for 16 yards (9 games, 1 start). With the turnover at head coach and general manager, Corley is missing any sort of draft pick protection that might have been afforded him with the previous regime. He's competing with guys like Allen Lazard and Josh Reynolds to establish a pecking order behind Garrett Wilson. |
Jets | Anders Carlson off roster Wed Jun 18, 01:27 PM
New York Jets PK Anders Carlson was released Wednesday, June 18.
| Footballguys view: Carlson, a 2023 sixth-round pick with the Packers, kicked in five games for the Jets and went 8-for-10 on field goals. His release comes after the team signed Harrison Mevis, widely known as the â€"Thiccer Kicker.†Kicking was one of the many problems that plagued the Jets' 2024 campaign, with the club continuously rotating at the position as far into the year as January. A 6-foot, 242-pound kicker out of Missouri -- where he earned his infamous nickname -- Mevis made 20 of 21 attempts during the 2025 UFL season with the Birmingham Stallions. |

Link to story Jets | Josh Reynolds entering camp as a starter Mon Jun 16, 01:08 PM
New York Jets WR Josh Reynolds is the 'clear favorite for the WR2 job,' according to ESPN.com's Rich Cimini.
| Footballguys view: This isn't a huge surprise, given the competition. Allen Lazard was the WR2 when healthy last year, but the veteran has been the subject of trade rumors. Most notable among potential suitors would be Pittsburgh, where Aaron Rodgers landed as QB. Otherwise, second-year man Malachi Corley has been sidelined for more than a month with an unspecified injury. Meanwhile, Reynolds was in Detroit with new Jets head coach Aaron Glenn and offensive coordinator Tanner Engstrand. He has the most experience with the coaching staff of anyone on the offense. |

Jets | Justin Fields more confident Mon Jun 16, 12:31 AM
New York Jets QB Justin Fields said he feels more comfortable taking command of the offense this year than he did last season in Pittsburgh when he was involved in a quarterback competition. 'It's definitely easier,' Fields said. 'I think last year was - it was kind of weird a little bit.'
| Footballguys view: According to ESPN.com's Rich Cimini, the full Fields experience was on display during Wednesday's minicamp session. He overthrew a couple of open receivers, hit Garrett Wilson with a 50-yard dime, placed the ball perfectly on a 6-yard corner route to Josh Reynolds for a touchdown, and showed his speed on some designed runs. The goal when training camp opens will be to gain consistency, which has been an issue for Fields throughout his career. Fortunately for Fields, he's the undisputed QB1 and will get all the reps this summer. |

Jets | Breece Hall ready to compete for work Sun Jun 15, 12:10 PM
New York Jets RB Breece Hall said he understands he is not entitled to play time and is ready to compete for playing time during training camp. 'I'm around a new GM, new coaches, a lot of new faces. So for me, I've got to prove that I'm 'the guy' every day. I feel like my skill set, I'm a three-down back and second-to-none to a lot of backs in the league,' Hall said.
| Footballguys view: This gives credence to the idea that Aaron Glenn wasn't engaging in pure coachspeak when he said the team will rely on all three of Hall, Braelon Allen, and Isaiah Davis this season. While that puts a damper on expectations for Hall, he could rise above the second year backs when the games count in September and make letting him fall out of the first two rounds in fantasy drafts look foolish. Hall has one of the widest ranges of outcomes in fantasy this year. |
Jets | Breece Hall to stay busy? Fri Jun 13, 04:57 PM
New York Jets RB Breece Hall could be the 'No. 2 option' in the passing game, in the opinion of Zack Rosenblatt.
| Footballguys view: Hall has fallen from the top five of 2024 drafts to the third round of 2025 drafts, largely because of the suggestion by head coach Aaron Glenn that there will be a three-headed backfield with Hall, Braelon Allen, and Isaiah Davis. He also said today that he was playing through a "pretty serious" knee injury last year, but one that did not require surgery. So it's possible we still haven't seen him return all the way to form after a 2022 ACL tear. If Hall can separate from the younger backs and become the clear lead back again, he could be one of the best picks of the draft, but if he doesn't, he might not even be startable. While this is an optimistic report, it might not be difficult to be the second option in the Jets passing game this year with lackluster options at wide receiver behind Garrett Wilson. |
Jets | Breece Hall discusses playing hurt in 2024 Fri Jun 13, 01:39 PM
New York Jets RB Breece Hall revealed to reporters during mandatory minicamp that he played through a 'pretty serious' knee injury during the 2024 season. He added that he feels fine now and did not need to undergo surgery to correct it.
Link to story Jets | Uphill climb for Malachi Corley Thu Jun 12, 09:23 PM
New York Jets WR Malachi Corley has a long way to go to before making an impact for the team, according to head coach Aaron Glenn. 'We have a ways to go to really try to figure out exactly where we're going to place him because he's been in-and-out,' Glenn said. 'That's just what it is.'

New York Jets CB Sauce Gardner told reporters on Thursday, July 12, that he feels 'pretty good' about how contract extension talks have been going this offseason.
Link to story Jets | Justin Fields hopes to hold workouts Wed Jun 11, 02:01 PM
New York Jets QB Justin Fields said he hopes to work out with the wide receivers and tight ends on the roster before the start of training camp.
| Footballguys view: While two of his Jets teammates, wide receiver Garrett Wilson and tight end Jeremy Ruckert, played with Fields at Ohio State. Still, the more work all the receiving assets can get with Fields, the better -- for fantasy investors and Fields. As ESPN's Dan Graziano noted, the $10 million in guaranteed money on his contract for 2026 won't stand in the way of the team drafting or acquiring someone it sees as a better option next spring if Fields doesn't play well enough to convince it otherwise. |

Jets | Malachi Corley misses practice Wed Jun 11, 01:53 PM
New York Jets WR Malachi Corley (undisclosed) did not participate in practice Wednesday, June 11.
| Footballguys view: It's been the same for Corley, a former third-round pick who's coming off a disappointing rookie year since OTAs began. As previously noted, a new front office and coaching staff that has no loyalty to him also has no idea how he fits their needs. The more Corley has to sit out with injuries, the harder it will be for them to figure out his role. |
Jets | Malachi Corley uncertain for minicamp Tue Jun 10, 12:06 AM
New York Jets WR Malachi Corley (undisclosed) missed some of the voluntary workouts because of an undisclosed injury and his status for the mandatory minicamp is uncertain.
| Footballguys view: As ESPN.com's Rich Cimini suggested, it's time for Corley, a former third-round pick who's coming off a disappointing rookie year, to make his move. Remember, a new front office and coaching staff have no loyalty to him. They also don't know how he fits. The more Corley has to sit out with injuries, the harder it will be for the new staff to figure out his role. |
Jets | Two candidates for No. 2 WR job Tue Jun 10, 12:06 AM
New York Jets WR Allen Lazard and WR Josh Reynolds are believed to be the two leading candidates for the No.2 receiver job entering training camp, in the opinion of ESPN.com's Rich Cimini.
| Footballguys view: There were rumors earlier this year that Lazard might be sent to the Steelers based on the notion Aaron Rodgers would sign in Pittsburgh. Now that Rodgers is officially a Steeler, we'll see if they show interest in Lazard. The team used a third-round pick last year on Malachi Corley, thinking he'd be a starter, but he's out because of an undisclosed injury after a disappointing rookie year. In the end, it's hard to get excited about any of the Jets' wideouts not named Wilson. |

Jets | Garrett Wilson to do more blocking Sun Jun 8, 11:20 AM
New York Jets WR Garrett Wilson said that he and the team's other wide receivers may have different responsibilities this season, even though Shawn Jefferson is still serving as the receivers coach. For example, Wilson said there will be offensive plays designed where he will seek out a safety and block him.
| Footballguys view: This isn't a surprise with a running quarterback in Justin Fields at the helm. Wilson is still set up for a bounce back year in a reunion with his college quarterback. Fields isn't known for his passing, but he did zero in on DJ Moore enough for Moore to have a career year in their last campaign together in Chicago. Wilson's ADP has fallen a round and a half from his late first value last year, but he won't have to compete with Davante Adams for targets, and won't have a quarterback in Aaron Rodgers that he didn't riff with last year. |
Jets | Isaiah Davis productive with limited work Sat Jun 7, 10:49 AM
New York Jets RB Isaiah Davis averaged 5.8 yards per carry during the 2024 season on 30 carries and recorded eight runs of at least 10 yards during the season.
| Footballguys view: Davis is a player we've stashed in deep dynasty leagues. The Jets no.3 back behind Breece Hall and Braelon Allen, Davis is a grinder who is tough to bring down when he builds a head of steam. While not a big-play threat, Davis can consistently be someone who picks up positive yardage in a reserve role. We'd be curious (and excited) to see what he could do if ever tasked with a larger responsibility. Thus, Davis remains a deep dynasty darling. |
Jets | Malachi Corley works on side Wed Jun 4, 04:00 PM
New York Jets WR Malachi Corley (undisclosed) worked with a trainer on the side during practice Tuesday, June 3.
| Footballguys view: The previous regime found no use for Corley's talents, and the third-round pick was on the inactive list for much of his rookie campaign. This year, a new regime that has no loyalty to him isn't sure where he fits. "Now, we have a ways to go to really try to figure out exactly where we're going to place him," new HC Aaron Glenn said, "because he's been in and out, that's just what it is." The more Corley has to sit out with injuries, the harder it will be for the new staff to figure out his role. |
Jets | Mason Taylor in line to start? Mon Jun 2, 07:08 PM
New York Jets TE Mason Taylor seems to be the leading candidate for the tight end job entering training camp, in the opinion of JetsWire's Craig Moffett.
| Footballguys view: Taylor opening the season as the starter would not be a massive suprise. Veteran Jeremy Ruckert has been disappointing, although he hasn't gotten many opportunities to shine as a receiving threat. Stone Smartt is an interesting dart throw and could push Ruckert for the backup spot behind Taylor, who will be a capable security blanket for Justin Fields in the passing game. |
Jets | Braelon Allen to be more involved in 2025? Mon Jun 2, 03:18 PM
New York Jets RB Braelon Allen could have a 'pretty significant' role in the offense this season, according to SI.com's Albert Breer.
| Footballguys view: Breece Hall heads into training camp as the clear-cut RB1. But after a breakout 2023 season, Hall's numbers started to decline in 2024, and head coach Aaron Glenn made it clear that Allen and Isaiah Davis will be factors this year. Glenn and OC Tanner Engstrand come from a Detroit team that found plenty of opportunities for two running backs to succeed (Jahmyr Gibbs and David Montgomery). The team is also transitioning to quarterback Justin Fields under center, which adds another threat to the running game that will take defensive attention away from Allen. |
Jets | Garrett Wilson extension talks likely to ramp up Sun Jun 1, 09:14 AM
Contract extension talks between the New York Jets and WR Garrett Wilson are expected to heat up during training camp, according to ESPN.com's Rich Cimini.
| Footballguys view: Despite inconsistent quarterback play, Wilson has recorded three straight 1,000-yard receiving seasons. He's probably looking for a deal in the $30 million-a-year range. After June 2, the Jets will be among the leaders in cap room, so there's enough flexibility to make it happen. Meanwhile, Garrett heads into this season with a new QB, Justin Fields, as WR24 on the Footballguys Projections. There could be value here. |
Jets | Will McDonald bulking up Mon May 26, 01:05 PM
New York Jets DE Will McDonald added 15 pounds in the offseason in hopes of becoming a stronger edge setter against the run, according to head coach Aaron Glenn. The added weight likely pushes McDonald in the 250-pound range after he was listed at 236 last season.
Link to story Jets | Garrett Wilson to be busy Thu May 22, 01:36 AM
New York Jets WR Garrett Wilson will be targeted 'as much as possible' next season, according to head coach Aaron Glenn.
| Footballguys view: We love that idea for the Jets and for Fantasy GMs out there. We'll see QB Justin Fields target Wilson early and often this year, and the strength of the connection will tell us how many fantasy points can be earned. Wilson is a WR2 with upside, but those numbers could push for WR1 range if he's getting targeted as much as possible. |

Link to story Jets | NYJ, Garrett Wilson have had contract talks Wed May 21, 03:17 PM
New York Jets WR Garrett Wilson has had some contract extension talks with the Jets this offseason and hopes to remain with the team for the rest of his career.
| Footballguys view: Wilson has three straight seasons with over 80 receptions and 1,000 yards to start his career in the league, joining Odell Beckham Jr., Michael Thomas, Justin Jefferson, and Ja'Marr Chase as the only receivers in NFL history to accomplish that feat. He's done it despite dealing with sub-par quarterback play in New York. This year, Wilson could benefit from the signing of QB Justin Fields. The two had success together at Ohio State, so their reunion could produce some numbers in 2025. If so, Wilson will be a value. He's currently WR25 on the Footballguys Projections. |

Jets | Mason Taylor to play early? Fri May 16, 02:54 AM
New York Jets TE Mason Taylor is a 'pro-ready fix' for the Jets' needs at the tight end position, according to Field Yates of ESPN.com.
| Footballguys view: Taylor was one of the most intriguing tight ends in this draft class. He's got an athletic profile that could make him a mismatch no matter if a linebacker or safety is tasked with covering him. Taylor sits atop the depth chart for the Jets with veteran Jeremy Ruckert as the no.2 for the Jets. It would be wise if QB Justin Fields got Taylor the ball early and often. |
