New York Jets Fantasy Football News | Shark Bites

Jets WR Garrett Wilson (elbow) is listed as questionable for Sunday's game vs. the Bills. He was able to play through this issue last week and got in three limited practices this week. HC Robert Saleh said Friday morning that Wilson still has "some hurdles to clear" but should be able to play this weekend. We'll keep you updated on Wilson's status. We won't get the Jets' inactives until a little before 3 pm ET on Sunday.

Update: Wilson told reporters Friday afternoon that he'll play this weekend.

Jets QB Aaron Rodgers (Achilles) told NBC's Melissa Stark that his goal is to be back by mid-December. "I know it sounds insane, but if you do a good surgery, have a good patient, it makes this possible," Rodgers said. The Jets play the Texans on December 10 and the Dolphins on December 17. A goal, of course, doesn't necessarily mean that Rodgers will definitely be back this season. Whether the Jets are still alive for a playoff spot will also likely impact whether he returns. Rodgers couldn't be trusted as more than a QB2 that late in the season if he does make it back, so he's only worth stashing in 2-QB and superflex leagues.

Jets WR Garrett Wilson hauled 7 of 13 targets with 80 receiving yards on Monday night vs. the Chargers. Week 9 marks the sixth time that Wilson has gone for at least 10 PPR points in eight games played this season. For as putrid as the Jets’ offense has been at times this year, Wilson can be counted on to return at least flex-level value for fantasy managers. He’ll face a stingy Raiders defense (fifth-toughest WR matchup in adjusted fantasy points allowed) in Week 10. Still, we can count on Wilson to hit paydirt.

Jets RB Breece Hall ended Monday night with just 50 yards on 16 carries vs. the Chargers. The Jets’ offensive line was not effective in Week 9. Hall’s longest run was a 10-yarder, and the team allowed QB Zach Wilson to be sacked a season-high 8 times. The good news, however, is that Dalvin Cook and Michael Carter combined for 8 total touches to Hall’s 20 in the contest. Volume certainly wasn’t the issue. Hall should have a much better time in Week 10 against a Raiders defense that ranks as the fifth-easiest RB matchup in adjusted fantasy points allowed.

Jets QB Zach Wilson completed 33 of 49 passes for 263 yards with no TDs or INTs in Week 9’s loss vs. the Chargers. He also added 7 rushing yards in the contest. Fantasy managers probably didn’t expect much from Wilson, the QB34 in fantasy points per game (10.1) in 2023. That said, some of his poor numbers can be attributed to the fact that Wilson was sacked a season-high 8 times on Monday night. Next week’s showdown vs. the Raiders won’t be much easier for him. The Las Vegas defense ranks as the third-toughest QB matchup per our adjusted fantasy points allowed.

Jets WR Allen Lazard (knee) is active for tonight's game vs. the Chargers. He was added to the injury report on Saturday and listed as questionable, making him a risky fantasy play (as we saw with Colts WR Josh Downs yesterday). WR Randall Cobb is a healthy scratch tonight.

Jets WR Allen Lazard (knee) was added to the injury report on Saturday and is questionable for Monday night's game vs. the Chargers. Averaging just 6.9 PPR points per game, Lazard wasn't a viable fantasy play even before the knee issue. His absence would leave behind 4.1 targets for guys like WR Garrett Wilson, WR Randall Cobb, and TE Tyler Conklin.

The Giants placed QB Tyrod Taylor (ribs) on IR, knocking him out for at least the next four games. QB Daniel Jones (neck) is back this week, but New York is down to QBs Tommy DeVito and Matt Barkley (practice squad) behind him.

Giants QB Tyrod Taylor is considered "week-to-week" with the rib injury he suffered in Sunday's loss to the Jets, according to ESPN's Adam Schefter. Taylor spent Sunday night in a hospital but has been released. QB Daniel Jones (neck) is expected back for Week 9. We'll see if the Giants add a QB or roll with Tommy Devito as Jones' backup for now.

Jets WR Garrett Wilson hauled 7 of 13 targets and put up a season-high 100 receiving yards on Sunday vs. the Giants. Through seven games, the second-year wideout has only failed to reach 10 PPR points twice. Even then, he totaled 9.8 (Week 3) and 8.4 (Week 5) in those outings. He's a model of consistency with a reasonably safe floor. Fantasy managers can confidently count on Wilson again next week vs. the Chargers.

Jets RB Breece Hall couldn’t get much going on the ground in Week 8 vs. the Giants. The second-year back finished the contest with 17 rushing yards on 12 carries. Fortunately, he was effective as a pass-catcher, totaling 76 yards and a TD on 6 receptions. This is now the third game in a row since HC Robert Saleh lifted Hall’s ACL recovery-related workload cap that he’s posted 20+ PPR points. Week 9’s matchup vs. the Chargers presents a solid opportunity for Hall to ball out again.

Jets QB Zach Wilson completed 17 of 36 passes for 240 yards with 1 TD in Week 8’s win vs. the Giants. He also contributed a team-leading 25 rushing yards in the contest. Sunday’s performance marked only the second time this season that Wilson has surpassed 200 passing yards in a game. Don’t be looking to start him in Week 9 vs. the Chargers outside of superflex leagues.

Giants QB Tyrod Taylor suffered a ribs injury in the second quarter of Sunday's game vs. the Jets and has been ruled out. With QB Daniel Jones (neck) inactive, the Giants are down to QB Tommy DeVito.

Update: Taylor has been taken to a hospital, according to NFL Network's Ian Rapoport.

Chargers WR Mike Williams underwent successful surgery on Wednesday (October 25) to repair his torn ACL, per NFL Network's Ian Rapoport. Williams is expected to be ready for the start of training camp, which will be about nine months post-surgery. His contract currently carries a $32.5 million cap hit in 2024, so the Chargers will surely be looking to restructure. Williams turned 29 earlier this month.

Giants QB Tyrod Taylor completed 24 of 36 attempts for 200 yards in Week 6’s loss vs. the Bills. The veteran also added 24 rushing yards on 5 carries in the contest. Though he only achieved 10.4 fantasy points, Taylor seemed to get the Giants’ offense humming more than usual on Sunday night. There were a couple of blown opportunities, including the poor clock management on the final play of the first half, that would’ve potentially netted more points for Taylor, but he filled in admirably for QB Daniel Jones (neck) in this contest. We’ll see who’s under center in Week 7 vs. the Commanders.

Jets WR Garrett Wilson tallied 8 receptions for 90 yards in Sunday's win over the Eagles. His 12 targets accounted for 36.4% of QB Zach Wilson's total pass attempts. Wilson also consumed 42.1% of the team's receptions and 48.4% of the receiving yards. RB Breece Hall was the only other Jet with more than 24 receiving yards. TE Tyler Conklin checked in third with a 3-24 receiving line on 4 targets. No other Jet had more than 1 reception. That domination signals just how good Garrett Wilson is ... as well as the flimsiness of his situation. The Jets get a Week 7 bye, then favorable matchups with the Giants, Chargers, and Raiders.

Jets RB Breece Hall saw a predictable drop in rushing production in Sunday's win over the Eagles. He tallied just 39 yards on 12 rushes (3.3 per carry) against one of the league's top run defenses. But Hall did run for the team's only TD. He also set season highs in targets (5), receptions (5), and receiving yards (54). Hall hadn't previously caught more than three passes in a game this year -- which he did each of the previous two weeks -- and hadn't produced more than 20 receiving yards. Hall dominated backfield work for the second straight game. Dalvin Cook carried only three times for 12 yards. Michael Carter carried just once. And each guy saw 1 target. Hall looks like an every-week fantasy starter going forward. Just make sure you expect production variations in a shaky-to-poor Jets offense.

The Jets have ruled CB Sauce Gardner out for Sunday's game against the Eagles with a concussion. That leaves New York without its top two corners, as D.J. Reed had already been ruled out. That obviously improves the matchup for Philly WRs A.J. Brown and DeVonta Smith. Gardner's issue didn't show up on the injury report until he missed practice Friday and was initially listed as an illness. A Week 7 bye will help Gardner's chances of not missing further game time.

The Jets have ruled CB D.J. Reed (concussion) out for Sunday's game against the Eagles. The team also lists CB Sauce Gardner as questionable with an illness, but HC Robert Saleh expects him to play, according to Pro Football Talk.

Jets RB Breece Hall had his 2023 breakout game vs. the Broncos, racking up 194 total yards and a TD. The highlight was a 72-yard TD burst in the third quarter. Hall was a broken tackle away from breaking a few more big plays in this one. He's looking closer and closer to 100% each week. More importantly, the Jets fed Hall 22 carries and three targets in Denver -- easily his biggest workload of the season. That came just a few days after HC Robert Saleh said that Hall is no longer on a pitch count. He won't get to face the Broncos again this year. But if Hall is going to continue to get 71% of the RB opportunities like he did this week, he'll be at least a weekly RB2 going forward.
