Jets | Breece Hall to run wild? Sat Sep 13, 05:10 PM
New York Jets RB Breece Hall faces the Buffalo Bills in Week 2, and Hall is averaging 6.42 yards per carry in four career games against the Bills.
Footballguys view: Hall looked great in Week 1 against the Steelers with 107 yards rushing. This week against the Bills, we like Hall as an RB2 with RB1 upside. |
New York Jets WR Allen Lazard is expected to be active for the Week 2 game.

New York Jets WR Allen Lazard was not active for Week 1 game because he missed two weeks during training camp, according to head coach Aaron Glenn.
Footballguys view: "We wanted to make sure that he was up to speed on everything we were doing," Glenn explained. "We'll see how that goes this week." Remember, Lazard wasn't on the injury report, so he was a healthy scratch, which, as Heavy.com suggests, comes with a negative connotation. Glenn's answer is either an attempt to diffuse something more telling, or it could be the truth. If Lazard makes his debut in Week 2, this will all be forgotten. If not, something is up. |
New York Jets RB Kene Nwangwu (hamstring) is still being evaluated for the hamstring injury he suffered during the Week 1 game, according to head coach Aaron Glenn.
Footballguys view: Nwangwu was injured in the first quarter of Sunday's game against the Steelers. Arian Smith would likely join Xavier Gipson on kick returns if Nwangwu misses an extended period. |

New York Jets WR Garrett Wilson caught seven passes for 95 yards and one touchdown against the Pittsburgh Steelers in Week 1. He was targeted nine times during the game.
Footballguys view: Wilson had the ball popped free by Jalen Ramsey on the game's last competitive play, but overall it was a very auspicious game for his fantasy prospects. He was a strong WR1 even though Justin Fields only threw 22 times, and Fields looked better as a creator in the passing game after the play breaks down. Wilson has the makings of a big hit at a third round ADP heading into a matchup against the banged up Bills corners. |
New York Jets RB Braelon Allen rushed for nine yards and one touchdown on six carries against the Pittsburgh Steelers in Week 1.
Link to storyNew York Jets RB Isaiah Davis rushed for 18 yards on two carries against the Pittsburgh Steelers in Week 1.
Link to storyNew York Jets RB Breece Hall rushed for 107 yards on 19 carries against the Pittsburgh Steelers in Week 1. He also caught two passes for 38 yards during the game.
Footballguys view: Hall was vultured at the goal line by Braelon Allen and Justin Fields, but otherwise this was everything you wanted after he slid down the board this summer. Hall looked like the back that was going in the top 5 of drafts last year, and Justin Fields was more than good enough to keep this offense on track. This all with the Jets losing their top offensive lineman before the season began. Hall would go multiple rounds higher today than he did last week in drafts. Congratulations if you believed in him. |
New York Jets QB Justin Fields went 16-for-22 for 218 yards and one touchdown against the Pittsburgh Steelers in Week 1. He also rushed for 48 yards and two touchdowns on 12 carries during the game.
Footballguys view: Fields was better at creating in the passing game outside of structure and overall looked more calm and dialed in as a quarterback in his debut as a Jet. He was connecting well with college teammate Garrett Wilson, and the Jets clearly want to rely on him as a runner near the goal line. Fields had one of the best outputs of any quarterback in Week 1, and he would be drafted earlier than he was in August if leagues were selected now. |

Link to storyFree-agent RB Lawrance Toafili (Jets) was signed to the New York Jets practice squad Monday, Sept. 1.
Link to storyNew York Jets RB Braelon Allen said he is motivated to build off the success he had last season. 'I have a lot left to prove, not even to the outside world but still people in this locker room and people in this building and to myself,' Allen said.
Footballguys view: Allen, a fourth-round pick in the 2024 NFL draft, played in all 17 games for the Jets in the 2024 season. He totaled 482 yards and three touchdowns, and the incoming staff has talked about using him in a David Montgomery-like role alongside Breece Hall. While the team is "extremely high" on Allen, ESPN's Dan Graziano reports that coaches realize what they have in Hall, who can be a primary ball carrier, a receiving back, or some combination of the two. With the Jets likely to be a run-heavy offense, both backs could be viable fantasy assets. |
New York Jets WR Xavier Gipson has won the job over WR Jamaal Pritchett to be the team's punt returner. General manager Darren Mougey expects Gipson to see some touches on offense as well.

New York Jets WR Malachi Corley was released Tuesday, Aug. 26.
Footballguys view: As ESPN.com's Rich Cimini reminded readers, a year ago, the Jets wanted Corley so much that they traded up and selected him with the first pick in the third round of the 2024 NFL draft. As for the remaining fantasy values here, beyond Garrett Wilson, there's nothing to be too excited about in New York's wide receiver room. Josh Reynolds, Allen Lazard, Tyler Johnson, and fourth-round pick Arian Smith are in the mix for playing time, but Wilson, currently going as WR15 in Round 3, is the only viable fantasy asset in this wide-receiving corps. |
New York Jets QB Tyrod Taylor (knee) should be ready for the start of the regular season, according to head coach Aaron Glenn.

Footballguys view: Lazard, who was injured in the team's first preseason game, told Brian Costello of the New York Post that he will practice on Monday and confirmed that he is on track to play in the season opener against the Steelers. Lazard joins Tyler Johnson, Josh Reynolds, and fourth-round pick Arian Smith in the mix for playing time alongside Garrett Wilson at receiver for the Jets. Wilson, currently going as WR15 in Round 3, is the only viable fantasy asset in this wide-receiving corps. |

Link to storyNew York Jets RB Isaiah Davis (ankle) may be a candidate to start the season on the Reserve/Injured list because he is dealing with an ankle injury, in the opinion of ESPN.com's Rich Cimini.
Footballguys view: Davis has talent as a developmental player. This ankle injury could put him on IR where he could take the time to get healthy. Keep an eye on him in deeper dynasty leagues. |
New York Jets TE Mason Taylor is viewed as a 'two-way tight end' by the team, according to ESPN's Rich Cimini. Per Cimini, head coach Aaron Glenn believes that Taylor 'has the right DNA for the NFL.'
