Preseason Player AnalysisWhat You Need to Know:
-Crowder excelled on high volume in his 1st season with the Jets (2019): 122 targets, 78 catches, 833 yards, 6 TDs.
-He played all 16 games for the first time since 2016.
-2020 brought the return of injury woes. He dealt with a hamstring injury in training camp and missed Weeks 2-3 with the same issue.
-When on the field, Crowder was a high-volume fantasy asset. His first 4 games turned up 7, 7, 8 and 7 catches on 46 total targets. He hit 100 yards 3 times.
-That production simply wasn’t sustainable in a bad environment under HC Adam Gase/QB Sam Darnold. Crowder topped 50 yards only twice over his final 9 games.
-Crowder, 28, also missed 2 mid-season games with a groin injury.
-This summer, the Jets swapped out Darnold for rookie Zach Wilson. He projects as an instant upgrade.
-Crowder, though, hasn’t participated in OTAs (at least through early June). He’s sitting out while his agent works out a potential paycut. He’s currently slated to make a whopping $10 million.
-The Jets return 2020 Round 2 pick Denzel Mims, added Corey Davis in free agency and spent a 2021 Round 2 pick on dynamic slot Elijah Moore. With Moore looking pro-ready, the Jets might opt to release Crowder, thereby going younger and saving some cash.
-We at least like the Jets’ new coaching staff, which includes HC Robert Saleh and OC Mike LaFleur.
-LaFleur has followed Kyle Shanahan from Cleveland to Atlanta to San Francisco since 2014. He’s held roles like offensive intern (Cleveland), offensive assistant (Falcons) and pass game coordinator/WR coach (49ers). LaFleur, brother of Packers HC Matt LaFleur, is only 34.
Draft Sharks Bottom Line:
Crowder actually posted a career-best 13.9 PPR points per game last fall. But he missed 4 games with groin and hamstring injuries and excelled mostly due to high volume.
If Crowder’s contract is restructured and he sticks with the Jets, look for a much quieter 2021. With Corey Davis, Denzel Mims and Elijah Moore, this offense is no longer thin at WR.
Crowder is a tough eval with his 2021 team uncertain.
Crowder staying with Jets
NFL Network's Ian Rapoport reports that the Jets and WR Jamison Crowder have agreed to a renegotiated contract that will keep him with the team through this season. (Crowder would then hit free agency in spring 2022.) This would seem to be bad news for the 2021 outlook of 2nd-round pick Elijah Moore, who stands near-identical in size. But HC Robert Saleh says Moore can play any of the WR positions. So the biggest losers here might be Denzel Mims and Keelan Cole. Corey Davis clearly signed for starter money in free agency, and the Jets would have little reason to retain Crowder if they didn't view him as the top option in the slot. The upgraded WR corps lowers the target ceiling, though, for a wideout who has depended on volume to drive his fantasy value. The Jets offense will be interesting to track throughout the summer, given the bevy of changes to personnel and staff.
Crowder on his way out of NY?
A source tells Jets insider Ralph Vacchiano that the team is asking WR Jamison Crowder to take a "significant" pay cut from the $10 million he's slated to make this season. Crowder has no guaranteed money left on his contract and could be released if he doesn't agree to that pay cut. The Jets, of course, drafted a natural Crowder replacement in Ole Miss WR Elijah Moore this spring. We'll see where this goes. For now, both Crowder and Moore are just late-round fliers in fantasy drafts.
Crowder active
Jets WR Jamison Crowder (calf) is active for today’s game against the Rams. He’s a low-upside fantasy play with the Jets offense unlikely to get much accomplished.
Crowder questionable for Week 15
Jets WR Jamison Crowder (calf) is listed as questionable for Sunday's game against the Rams. He battled through the injury last week, playing 72% of the offensive snaps. Crowder should be out there this weekend but has very little upside vs. a tough L.A. pass defense.
Crowder active
Jets WR Jamison Crowder (calf) is active for today’s game against the Seahawks. ESPN’s Rich Cimini suggested this morning that Crowder might just be an emergency option, so we’d still avoid him in fantasy lineups. Crowder being active does make WR Braxton Berrios a riskier play.
