The Raiders are sending QB Geno Smith to the Jets, according to NFL Network's Tom Pelissero. The price for his new/old team is a mere pick swap, with the Jets sending a sixth-rounder to Vegas and getting a seventh back. Smith originally went to the Jets in the second round of the 2013 draft and started 29 games across his first two years before getting benched and then banished. He spent a year with the Giants, another with the Chargers, and then six with the Seahawks. That's where he grew into a starter. But Seattle traded him after three starting seasons in favor of Sam Darnold.

The Jets are trading a seventh-round pick to the Dolphins for S Minkah Fitzpatrick. ESPN's Adam Schefter reports that the team has also agreed to a new three-year, $40 million pact with the veteran DB. Fitzpatrick spent 2025 back with Miami after arriving via trade from the Steelers. He opened his career with the Dolphins before a 2019 trade sent him north.

The Raiders plan to release QB Geno Smith at the start of the new league year next week, according to multiple reports. Vegas tried to find a trade partner but unsurprisingly found no suitors. Smith was set to count $40 million against the 2026 cap. His release will save the Raiders $8 million.

The Jets are placing the franchise tag on RB Breece Hall. The move doesn't really come as a surprise. Speculation for weeks has centered on the team using either the franchise or transition tag to keep Hall around. But the details here still look noteworthy. The tag guarantees a $14.293 million one-year deal (once the player signs) if there's no long-term deal by mid-July.

Jets GM Darren Mougey made it clear from the Combine on Tuesday that impending free-agent RB Breece Hall isn't leaving town. The team is prepared to use the franchise or transition tag if it doesn't reach a long-term agreement with Hall ahead of the March 3 deadline. Either tag would keep Hall with the Jets for the 2026 season.

The Jets are hiring Frank Reich to be the new OC, according to multiple reports. The longtime NFL backup QB -- and orchestrator of (arguably?) the greatest playoff comeback victory of all time in Buffalo -- has spent 10 years as OC or head coach to this point. He coordinated the Chargers offense in 2014-15 before jumping to the same position in Philadelphia on HC Doug Pederson's staff. Then came a five-year run as the head man in Indianapolis before a rocky (and incomplete) season in charge of the Panthers.

The Jets have fired OC Tanner Engstrand, according to multiple reports. It's a late move for the Jets, whose season ended almost a month ago. "[HC] Aaron Glenn and Engstrand had multiple conversations about his role moving forward. Simply, they decided to move forward separately," NFL Network's Ian Rapoport said. New York ranked 29th in both points and total yards in 2025, although it's tough to pin too much blame on Engstrand considering the state of the roster. The new OC will inherit an offense with a big question mark at QB, a potentially Breece Hall-less backfield, and nothing at WR behind Garrett Wilson.

Jets RB Breece Hall (knee) has been downgraded to out for Sunday's game vs. the Bills. He finishes the season with 1,415 total yards and five TDs on a bad New York offense. Hall boosted his value heading into free agency this offseason. RB Isaiah Davis (concussion) had already been ruled out for Week 18, leaving the Jets with RBs Khalil Herbert and Kene Nwangwu on the active roster. We'll see if RB Raheem Blackshear is elevated from the practice squad. We'd bet on Herbert leading in carries tomorrow, but it's a tough backfield to project.

Raiders QB Geno Smith (ankle) is out for Sunday’s game vs. the Chiefs. HC Pete Carroll said Friday that both Kenny Pickett and Aidan O’Connell could get time under center in the finale. It’s obviously a situation to avoid in all fantasy formats.

Jets RB Breece Hall (knee) is listed as questionable for this weekend’s game vs. the Bills. He got in limited practices on Thursday and Friday. RB Isaiah Davis (concussion) has been ruled out, so Hall could pick up some extra passing-down work if he plays on Sunday. We’ll look for updates on his status but won’t get New York’s inactives until a little before 3 pm ET.

Jets TE Mason Taylor (neck) is out for Sunday's finale vs. the Bills. He finishes his rookie season with a 44-369-1 receiving line in 13 games, ranking 33rd among TEs in PPR points per game. Taylor flashed some target-earning ability, albeit in a barren pass-catching corps, and turns just 22 in May. He remains a nice dynasty hold but needs the Jets to find an answer at QB. Continue to ignore the Jets' TE room in Week 18 fantasy lineups.

Jets RBs Breece Hall (knee) and Isaiah Davis (concussion) did not practice on Wednesday. That leaves Davis unlikely to play vs. the Bills this weekend. We'll see about Hall. Khalil Herbert and Kene Nwangwu are the other RBs on New York's roster. RB Raheem Blackshear is on the practice squad.

Raiders QB Geno Smith suffered an ankle injury in the fourth quarter of Sunday's game vs. the Giants and won't return. He's been replaced by QB Kenny Pickett. We'll see who mercifully ends Vegas' season against the Chiefs next weekend.

Update: Smith has a high-ankle sprain, HC Pete Carroll said after the game. He's a long shot to play vs. Kansas City.

Jets TE Mason Taylor (neck) is out for Sunday’s game vs. the Patriots. That again leaves lead TE duties to Jeremy Ruckert, who’s totaled 27 yards on four catches over the last two weeks.

The Jets placed QB Justin Fields (knee) on IR. It ends another erratic season for Fields. He flashed -- albeit in excellent matchups -- with a 283-2-0 passing line vs. the Cowboys and a 244-1-0 vs. the Bengals. And he averaged 42.6 rushing yards per game. But he also failed to reach 120 passing yards in three of his seven full games and finishes the year with just 6.2 yards per pass attempt. Fields is signed with the Jets for 2026, although HC Aaron Glenn was non-committal when asked Tuesday whether Fields will be back with the team. The Jets currently hold the No. 4 overall pick in the 2026 NFL Draft.

Raiders QB Geno Smith (shoulder, back) put in a full week of practice and is off the final injury report. He’ll start Sunday’s game vs. the Texans but is not a recommended play in any fantasy format. Vegas is implied for a pathetic 11.75 points.

Jets TE Mason Taylor (neck) is out for Sunday’s game vs. the Saints. Jeremy Ruckert gets another game as lead TE but isn’t a fantasy option after catching two balls for 13 yards last week.

Jets WR Garrett Wilson (knee) won't play again this season, HC Aaron Glenn said Friday. That's been the expectation for a while now. There's no reason for the 3-11 Jets to bring Wilson back at anything less than 100%. Wilson once again dealt with shoddy QB play this year -- and his numbers were right in line with his career averages. He posted a 61% catch rate, 11.0 yards per catch, and 6.7 yards per target, averaging 5.1 catches and 56.4 yards per game. We still believe in Wilson as a high-end talent, but he won't be unlocked until the Jets solve their QB problem.

Raiders QB Geno Smith (shoulder, back) was a full participant in Wednesday's practice. He should be back under center this weekend but isn't a fantasy option in any format against Houston's top-ranked QB defense. The Raiders are implied for a pathetic 11.75 points.

Jets QB Brady Cook will start this weekend's game vs. the Saints, HC Aaron Glenn said Wednesday. We assume this means QBs Tyrod Taylor and Justin Fields' injuries will keep them out again -- because there's no reason for the Jets to willingly go back to Cook. He mustered just 176 yards on 5.3 yards per attempt in the Week 15 loss to the Jaguars. RB Breece Hall is the only Jet to crack fantasy-starter territory in our Week 16 rankings.
