The Jets opened OTAs with both Garrett Wilson and Braelon Allen participating, and both will remain full participants moving forward. Wilson was a full participant after missing 10 games last season with a persistent knee injury. Allen had knee surgery after spraining his left MCL in Week 4 and missed the rest of the season.

The Jets placed WR Garrett Wilson (knee) on IR ahead of Thursday night's game vs. the Patriots. Wilson was already ruled out for that one but will now miss a minimum of three more games. That makes Week 15 his earliest potential return. If Wilson makes it back then, he'd get the Jaguars, Saints, and Patriots in the final three weeks of most fantasy seasons. That's a fine trio of matchups, so Wilson could still help fantasy squads. But, considering this injury and the state of New York's passing game, we wouldn't consider him a must-hold in shallow fantasy leagues.

Jets WR Garrett Wilson is expected to miss "at least" 3-4 weeks with his latest knee injury, according to ESPN's Rich Cimini. Wilson does not need surgery, but we can't imagine the 2-7 Jets rushing him back. The timeline puts Wilson out through at least Week 13. He's worth stashing in you have the bench space, but we wouldn't consider Wilson a must-hold in shallower fantasy leagues. The Jets are left with a wasteland of WRs Tyler Johnson, Isaiah Williams, Arian Smith, Allen Lazard, John Metchie, and Adonai Mitchell. Avoid the group in fantasy. TE Mason Taylor theoretically finds strong target opportunity, but he'll remain tough to trust as long as Justin Fields is under center.

Jets WR Garrett Wilson is questionable to return to Sunday's game vs. the Browns with a knee injury. This is presumably an aggravation of the issue that cost him the previous two games. Wilson was catch-less on three targets before exiting.

Update: Wilson has been ruled out.

Jets WR Garrett Wilson suffered a hip injury in Sunday's morning's loss to the Broncos, HC Aaron Glenn said afterward. Wilson was able to play through the issue but looked gimpy on multiple occasions. His status will be worth monitoring this coming week.

The Jets are hiring Aaron Glenn as their new HC, according to multiple reports. It's a homecoming for Glenn, who was the Jets' first-round pick back in 1994. He played eight seasons with the team, earning two Pro Bowl nods. Glenn played through the 2008 season and took his first coaching job in 2014. He was a DBs coach for the Browns and Saints before taking over as Lions DC in 2021. Detroit climbed from 31st in points allowed in Glenn's first season to seventh this past year, despite a ton of injuries. We'll see who Glenn chooses to run his offense. We've heard current Lions QBs coach Mark Brunell mentioned as a candidate. Of course, the biggest question in New York is whether QB Aaron Rodgers will return for the 2025 season. Stay tuned.

Jets QB Aaron Rodgers is "uncertain" for Sunday's game vs. the Bills due to a knee injury, according to NFL Network's Ian Rapoport. We'll look for more details on the injury and track Rodgers' status throughout the week. His absence would put QB Tyrod Taylor under center for New York. He's a capable backup but would be a downgrade for WRs Davante Adams and Garrett Wilson. Rodgers has played well lately, completing 64% of his passes and 8.0 yards per attempt with five TDs over his last three games.

New Jets WR Davante Adams is "planning" to play vs. the Steelers on Sunday night, according to ESPN's Adam Schefter. We'll see if Adams' (alleged) hamstring injury impacts his practice week. Considering his long history with QB Aaron Rodgers, we'd expect his transition to a new team to be much smoother than it is for most WRs who move in-season. The matchup is tough against Pittsburgh's fourth-ranked WR defense, but Adams will certainly be startable for most fantasy teams.

Jets WR Garrett Wilson managed just two catches for nine yards in Sunday's 32-6 loss to the Bills. QB Zach Wilson was benched after throwing for just 81 yards through the game's first 42 minutes. QB Tim Boyle threw for only 33 yards the rest of the way. Wilson did lead the Jets with eight targets for a strong 27.6% share. But most of those targets had very little chance of actually being completed. Wilson, of course, has been producing solid fantasy numbers all season in spite of bad QB play. So we have to believe the elbow injury that had him questionable coming in played a part. We'll keep an eye on that this coming week, along with the Jets' plans at QB. It won't be pretty regardless of who's under center, but Wilson's talent plus volume should allow him to rebound. He gets a plus Week 12 matchup vs. the Dolphins, and the Jets have the eighth easiest WR schedule from Weeks 12 through 17.

Jets WR Garrett Wilson told reporters on Friday that he'll play vs. the Bills this weekend, despite being listed as questionable with his elbow injury. "It's doing better," Wilson said. "I'm feeling good, so we're going to rock this weekend." But Wilson also admitted that the injury will limit him, according to ESPN's Rich Cimini. We'll look for further updates on just how limited Wilson will be. For now, we're still expecting him to play a full slate of snaps. The elbow obviously adds risk, but Wilson still belongs in most fantasy lineups. He’s racked up 52 targets over his last four games.

An MRI confirmed that Jets QB Aaron Rodgers has a torn Achilles, per NFL Network's Ian Rapoport. That ends Rodgers' season after just four snaps. Turning 40 in December, Rodgers' football future is uncertain. He's signed with the Jets for two more seasons, although he carries a $51.5 million cap hit in 2025. The Rodgers injury puts Zach Wilson back under center for now. We'll see if the Jets -- with Super Bowl aspirations -- make a move at QB. For now, all Jets skill-position players are fantasy losers.

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 WR Garrett Wilson suffered an ankle injury in practice on Thursday, sending him off the field with a trainer. After practice, The Athletic's Zack Rosenblatt reported that Jets HC Robert Saleh isn't overly concerned, saying that Wilson will be okay. The 2022 Offensive Rookie of the Year seems to have dodged significant damage, allowing fantasy managers to breathe a sigh of relief. We anticipate a big year from Wilson following a campaign that saw him finish ninth in Pro Football Focus receiving grade, 16th in yards per catch, 14th in yards after catch per reception, and 23rd in yards per route run among 41 WRs who saw 40+ targets in 2022. We'll keep an eye on this situation should anything more serious develop. See where Wilson lands in our current WR rankings.

The Jets have ruled QB Mike White out for Sunday's game against the Dolphins. He went from a full Wednesday practice to limited Thursday and then this, so the rib injury clearly remains a significant issue. He played as though that was the case at Seattle in Week 17. QB Joe Flacco will start, with Zach Wilson backing up, according to Zack Rosenblatt of The Athletic. A healthy Flacco instead of a hurting White is probably better for the fantasy outlook of WR Garrett Wilson and the rest of the Jets' pass-catchers.
