New York Jets Fantasy Football News | Shark Bites

Shark Bites are the latest fantasy football news & NFL updates. Draft Sharks has been in business since 1999. And when we started, redraft was the dominant form of fantasy football. Check out what we've learned about this most basic form of fantasy football along the way.

Jets WR Garrett Wilson wrangled an incredible TD in Monday night's victory to go along with 5 catches for 34 receiving yards vs. the Bills. Teammate Allen Lazard led the team with 46 receiving yards on 2 catches. HC Robert Saleh shared in the post-game press conference that "the MRI is probably going to confirm what [the Jets] already think" is an Achilles injury for QB Aaron Rodgers. We'll learn more about those details on Tuesday. Should that be the case and Rodgers misses time, fantasy managers will have to significantly readjust expectations for Jets' pass-catchers in 2023. Stay tuned for more information.

Jets RB Breece Hall looked explosive in his first game back in NFL action, logging 10 carries for 127 yards in Monday’s OT victory vs. the Bills. Among his highlights are an 83-yard run he made at the beginning of the second quarter and a 20-yard reception. A fully healthy Hall likely would’ve taken that long run to the end zone, but it’s a great sign of future production to come nonetheless. Teammate Dalvin Cook was not quite as efficient in the contest. The veteran posted 13 carries for 33 rushing yards and 3 catches for 26 yards. It’s safe to assume the Jets’ coaching staff will continue to split the workload between the pair as the early season continues. Even so, Hall is the player that fantasy managers should trust between the two in Week 2 vs. the Cowboys.

Raiders WR Davante Adams was relatively quiet in Sunday's season-opening win over the Broncos, catching six balls for 66 scoreless yards. He dealt with tough coverage from All-Pro CB Patrick Surtain for much of the contest. The good news is that Adams drew nine targets -- a big 34.6% share on a day when QB Jimmy Garoppolo threw it just 26 times. Adams won't have many tougher matchups than this one going forward. And he'll remain a fantasy WR1 if he continues to see that type of volume.

Jets RB Breece Hall (knee) is listed as questionable for Week 1. He practiced all week, though, including a full practice on Saturday. Hall is fully expected to play vs. the Bills on Monday night but figures to be on some type of touch count in his first action since last year's torn ACL. "We have a plan," HC Robert Saleh said. "I'm not going to talk about it here, but there's going to be a constant communication because what the plan is can be more, can be less, but we have an idea of what we want to get done. He has an idea of what he'd like to accomplish. But at the same time, communication -- constantly checking in to see where he's at, physically and mentally -- is going to be key." See where Hall sits in the Week 1 RB Rankings.

Jets RB Breece Hall (knee) was limited in Thursday's practice. He's fully expected to play vs. the Bills on Monday night -- but this is a reminder that Hall will likely be on some type of snap count coming off last October's ACL tear.

Jets HC Robert Saleh said Monday that RB Breece Hall and RB Dalvin Cook will play in the regular-season opener, according to NFL Network's Ian Rapoport. Hall sat out practice for the day, but Saleh called it a maintenance day. He added that the Jets "will be smart with Hall in his return," according to Rapoport. That makes it tough to know just how many opportunities we can expect for the team's top back.

Jets WR Allen Lazard (shoulder) returned to practice on Tuesday. He ended up missing about a week but will be good to go for the season opener. Lazard should be New York's No. 2 WR this season, behind Garrett Wilson.

Jets HC Robert Saleh says the team has to "be smart" with RB Breece Hall as he comes back from last year's torn ACL. "I think in his mind, he probably feels like he can take 30 touches, but we just have to be smart with him, make sure we're constantly communicating with him and just being diligent." We're currently projecting about 10 total touches for Hall in Week 1 but will continue to keep an eye on the Jets' plans. Hall's volume figures to grow throughout the season, perhaps quickly and significantly.

Jets TEs Tyler Conklin and C.J. Uzomah split first-team work in Saturday's preseason game. Conklin played five snaps and ran two routes vs. Uzomah's six snaps and three routes, according to Pro Football Focus. We'll see what the rotation looks like early in the regular season, but Conklin will not be a viable Week 1 fantasy play.

Jets WR Allen Lazard sprained the AC joint in his shoulder in Wednesday's practice, HC Robert Saleh said. Lazard is expected to be ready for Week 1, Saleh added. The Jets just lost WR Corey Davis to retirement, so they're thinned out at the position right now. We'll let you know when Lazard gets back on the field.

Jets WR Corey Davis took to Instagram on Wednesday to announce that he's retiring from the NFL. HC Robert Saleh had shared earlier in the afternoon that Davis had stepped away from the team for personal reasons. Though various hamstring and groin injuries plagued Davis throughout his career, he was a reasonably productive player when healthy. The 5th overall pick in the 2017 NFL Draft played six seasons between the Titans and Jets, accumulating 273 catches, 3,879 receiving yards, and 17 TDs. With Davis gone, we project a small uptick in favor of WR Allen Lazard. Fellow wideout Mecole Hardman and the TEs should also see marginal improvements in their opportunity shares, but this news doesn't move the needle much for fantasy purposes. See how our WR rankings shake out in the aftermath of Davis' retirement.

Jets WR Corey Davis has left the team for personal reasons, HC Robert Saleh said Wednesday. Saleh wouldn’t say whether Davis will be back for Week 1, adding that he can take “however long he needs." We'll keep an eye on this and let you know when Davis returns. He's been no more than a late-round flier in fantasy drafts.

Eagles Edge Haason Reddick is having surgery to address a thumb injury he sustained in Monday's practice. NFL Network's Ian Rapoport says, "This is all so that he is ready for the start of the season." Perhaps Reddick opens the year at a little less than full strength. But it sounds like he should be ready for the opener. We've nudged Reddick down the IDP rankings but still like him in DL1 territory.

Raiders WR Davante Adams is "trending in the right direction" after going down with a lower-leg injury on August 11, ESPN's Jeremy Fowler reports. "Should be on the practice field soon, depending how Las Vegas wants to manage him," Fowler adds. It doesn't sound like Adams is in any danger of missing the start of the regular season, but we'll continue to keep a close eye on his status.

Update: HC Josh McDaniels says Adams is returning to practice Wednesday, per Tashan Reed of The Athletic.

Jets HC Robert Saleh said Tuesday he's "very confident" RB Breece Hall will be ready for Week 1, according to ESPN's Rich Cimini. This falls in line with everything else we've heard from Saleh about Hall, as well as his Tuesday activation from PUP. We'll obviously keep watching the RB throughout August and into the season. Hall did move down our RB rankings after the Dalvin Cook addition.

Jets RB Breece Hall (knee) has been activated from the PUP list. He'll be a limited participant in Tuesday's practice, according to The Athletic's Zack Rosenblatt. Hall is now nearly 10 months removed from his torn ACL. He's been setback-free in his rehab by all accounts and is now seemingly on track to play in the season opener. Exactly how big a role Hall plays out of the gate -- especially after Monday's addition of RB Dalvin Cook -- remains uncertain.

Raiders WR Davante Adams left Friday's joint practice with the 49ers with a lower right leg injury. A source tells The Athletic's Tashan Reed that Adams' injury is "minor." We'll keep you updated on his status, but we aren't moving Adams in the WR rankings now.

Jets WR Garrett Wilson (ankle) will be limited in Wednesday's practice, sitting out team drills, per The Athletic's Zack Rosenblatt. Wilson sprained an ankle 13 days ago but is clearly on track to be back to 100% well before the start of the season. Consider his fantasy value unchanged.

Jets QB Aaron Rodgers gushed over WR Garrett Wilson in an interview during Thursday night's Hall of Fame Game. "Garrett has the potential to really be special in this league for a long time," Rodgers said. "Because he's got all the right things you need. He's got incredible talent. He's got a great work ethic. And he's a freakin' great kid. ... Carries himself like a seasoned vet." Rodgers also compared Wilson's "traits" to WR Davante Adams' for the second time in the past few weeks. It sure sounds like Rodgers and Wilson are already vibing, which can only help Wilson's chances of building off an impressive rookie season.

Jets HC Robert Saleh told reporters Tuesday that WR Garrett Wilson (ankle) had a "good workout" and is expected to return to practice Saturday, according to Eric Allen of Jets 360 Productions. Wilson sustained a low-ankle sprain last Thursday. Assuming he does get back to practice less than 10 days after -- and still in early August -- we're not downgrading the young WR for the ankle issue. See where Wilson sits in our 2023 WR rankings.
