2025 New York Jets Fantasy Preview

Garrett Wilson New York Jets

2025 New York Jets Fantasy Preview The New York Jets entered the 2025 offseason aiming to rebuild after a disastrous 5-12 season in 2024, marked by the failure of the Aaron Rodgers experiment and the longest active playoff drought in American professional sports (14 years). Under new head coach Aaron Glenn and general manager Darren Mougey, the Jets adopted a measured approach, focusing on youth, depth, and fortifying the offensive line while addressing defensive and skill-position needs. Priority One for the Jets was to get younger and more athletic and quarterback. Enter Justin Fields, who signed a two-year, $40 million deal. Fields may not be the long-term answer to a fan base that has mostly never experienced a franchise signal caller. Still, he can be a formidable running weapon who offers enough potential as a passer to contend for QB1 numbers. In six starts for Pittsburgh a year ago, Fields averaged 18.9 fantasy points per game, which would have ranked seventh at the position. However, much of Fields’s production is based on his elite rushing upside. The Jets have a surplus of young running backs and lack proven pass catchers. That relegates Fields to QB2 territory, but one that has a high ceiling, particularly in best ball formats. Speaking of New York’s backfield, the club ranked 31st in rushing behind a line that ranked 28th in run-block win rate and allowed 48 sacks (27th). New offensive coordinator Tanner Engstrand will employ a run-heavy, play-action scheme that the additions of first-round OT Armand Membou and veteran RT Chukwuma Okorafor will reinforce. Breece Hall’s numbers fell off after breaking out in 2023. Selected in the first round of many fantasy drafts, Hall declined to 876 rushing yards and 56 receptions. He still averaged 15.3 fantasy points per game, but the new regime has talked up using a three-man backfield this season. That and Fields’s presence keep Hall in RB2 territory. Braelon Allen and Isaiah Davis will also be involved, but should be viewed only as handcuffs to Hall. No. 1 wideout Garrett Wilson was tied for 4th in targets (153) and ranked 9th with 253.3 PPR points. While Wilson is reportedly excited to be reunited with his former Ohio State teammate at quarterback, Fields has never attempted more than 370 passes in the NFL. Aaron Rodgers threw 584 last season. For Wilson to earn a similar target number this season, he would have to command an impossible 41.3 percent target share. Wilson is an elite wideout, but regression is in order. New York has little depth after Wilson. Allen Lazard and fourth-round rookie Arian Smith will vie for targets in an offense that projects to be bottom-10 in passing attempts. Second-round LSU tight end Mason Taylor takes over for Tyler Conklin and could be heavily involved from Day One. Taylor (6-5, 255 pounds) set an LSU record for tight ends with 129 catches. Taylor was the youngest player in the 2025 NFL Draft, has NFL bloodlines, and the skill set to make an immediate fantasy impact. Fantasy Grade: C   QB Fields, Justin, NYJ [QB1] Sleeper Justin Fields has dealt with plenty of adversity, from a lame-duck head coach, revolving door of offensive coordinators, lack of talent, and a porous offensive line. Yet, Fields posted two top-10 showings in fantasy points per game while starting in Chicago. Most of that boils down to Fields being an elite runner, but his passing numbers and ability to lead an offense were enough for the QB-starved Jets. New York is similar to those Bears squads in employing a lack of receivers and a poor offensive line. But maybe that’s just what Fields needs to resurrect his career- and fantasy value. ADVICE: Elite rushing upside puts Fields in QB1/2 territory. QB Taylor, Tyrod, NYJ [QB2]  The Jets signed Justin Fields to a 2-year deal. But Fields has never played a full season in the NFL. New York also wisely secured Taylor, a veteran backup who is more than capable of running Tanner Engstrand’s offense. Both players ran a 4.51 40 (99th percentile) at their respective NFL Combines. Taylor has been a solid veteran for over a decade and has slightly higher career completion and QB ratings than Fields. If Fields has another injury, which happens frequently with his style, Taylor can be more than capable of chipping in weekly QB2 stats. ADVICE: Justin Fields handcuff to consider in deeper Superflex leagues. RB Hall, Breece, NYJ [RB1]  Hall did not live up to his first-round ADP, but it wasn’t a total loss. Hall led all running backs with 423 routes run and was 4th in receptions (57) and receiving yards (483). However, Hall wasn’t as effective as a runner. His breakaway rate declined by 35 percent, his yards after contact per attempt dropped from 3.41 to 3.04, and he fumbled six times. New head coach Aaron Glenn has stated that Hall could be put into a three-man committee. ADVICE: Still plenty of big-play potential, but there is some boom-or-bust potential with targeting Hall as an RB2. RB Allen, Braelon, NYJ [RB2]  Braelon Allen posted a 96th-percentile Speed Score at the 2024 NFL Combine, but that didn’t translate onto the field. Allen averaged a meager 3.6 yards in his 92 carries as a rookie. He fared better as a receiver, snagging 19 balls for 148 yards and a score. New head coach Aaron Glenn plans to use multiple backs for the Jets, but Allen is clearly behind Breece Hall. Allen (6-1, 235) has the size to be a factor in short-yardage situations, so that role is worth monitoring. He’s an RB4/5 in his sophomore season. ADVICE: RB4/5 that could see his role grow with New York’s new staff. RB Davis, Isaiah, NYJ [RB3]  ADVICE: In one of Aaron Glenn’s press conferences at the NFL Combine, he said, “I would say that we have three running backs on this team that we’re gonna utilize as much as possible.” That could be coach speak, but Davis averaged 5.8 yards

Week 3 NFL Player Props

Week 2 is in the books and Week 3 is underway as the New York Jets look to extend their winning streak against AFC East rival, the New England Patriots, in primetime on Thursday Night Football. Last week, we weren’t as profitable as in Week 1. But we still came away in the green due to our multiple units on Joe Burrow. After a 6-1 Week 1 record, we went 3-3 in Week 2 but gained 1.45 Units. We are now 9-4 (+6.3 Units) on the young season. Let’s see if we can keep the momentum heading into Week 3 of the NFL season!

Remember to always odds shop at your different sportsbooks to find the best value for these props. With that in mind, let’s get down to business and find the best Week 3 NFL prop bets!

Breece Hall Anytime Touchdown (-165)

Breece has scored a touchdown in each of his first two contests of the young season and although he’s facing a stingy New England Patriots run defense, the offense will continue to run through Hall. Yes, Braelon Allen found the end zone twice last week but Hall has seen 21 touches in each of his first matchups of the season, and we all know that volume is king.

Hall faced New England twice in his rookie campaign. The first time, he was held in check with just 18 scoreless rushing yards and a lone reception for nine yards. But that was just his third game as an NFL pro. Later in the season when the Jets faced the Patriots for a second time, Hall shredded the defense. The stud running back tallied 178 rushing yards on 37 carries and found the end zone. Additionally, he caught two passes for 12 yards.

Aaron Rodgers has been using Hall substantially in the short passing game so Hall has a chance to find the end zone not just as a rusher but also as a receiver. Last week, he hauled in a 26-yard touchdown reception where he looked more like a receiver than a running back. The kid has serious skills and great hands. Given that the Jets are heavy favorites in their first home game of the season, I like Hall’s chances of punching it into the end zone. The value could be better but I expect Hall to…

Thursday Night Football Preview: Week 3

Jets Rookie RB Breece Hall

Thursday Night Football Preview: Week 3 Last week’s AFC East showdown boasted a ton of fantasy potential. Conversely, this New England Patriots vs. New York Jets rivalry game looks less appealing. The FullTime Fantasy Thursday Night Football Preview: Week 3 looks at all the fantasy-relevant players to forecast the game. The Patriots got an upset win on the road in their opener. However, they weren’t able to get much going at home versus Seattle last week. Now traveling on a short week to face a tough Jets’ defense is another obstacle. Meanwhile, New York is coming off of a victory but has mostly struggled to move the ball. The Jets are winning games with an old-school mentality. With the Patriots struggling to pass and produce touchdowns, we are looking at a low-scoring slugfest type of game. New York opened as a touchdown favorite at home. The line dipped by just a half-point. However, the total plummeted down to 39 after opening at 42.5. Matchup  TEAM OFFENSE PASS RUSH YDS/PLAY POINTS New England Patriots 20 29 5 25 20 New York Jets 27 22 26 20 15 The raw data backs up that low total. Other than the Patriots doing an excellent job rushing the ball, neither of these squads stand out on offense. Offensive line play is a reason why. New England’s front five has the fourth-lowest pass-blocking grade per PFF. And despite the success running the ball, the Patriots only rank 26th in run-blocking. Conversely, the Jets rank 10th in run-blocking and 24th in pass protection. Only the Ravens have allowed fewer rushing yards than the Patriots. Points will be at a premium in this one. New England Offense  Through two games, Jacoby Brissett ranks 29th in fantasy points. He has been held under 150 passing yards in both games. Additionally, Brissett doesn’t add much value with his legs. Facing a Jets defense that ranks ninth in limiting fantasy points to quarterbacks is a daunting task. Brissett is +850 to rush for a touchdown. Also, his passing/rushing yards total of 181.5 hampers the entire New England passing attack. This is not an offense to target. However, the ground game looks solid. Rhamondre Stevenson ranks eighth in fantasy points. Stevenson is top-5 in carries and rushing yards and ranks sixth with a 75.6% snap share. Facing a Jets’ defense that ranks 24th against the run puts Stevenson in a solid position to approach RB1 numbers. Don’t overreact to Antonio Gibson’s Week 2 performance. Gibson played just 16 snaps. He may have earned more playing time moving forward. However, until he gets more consistent snaps, Gibson is little more than a fledgling flex option in deep leagues. New England doesn’t throw enough to their receivers to warrant redraft attention. No Patriots’ wideout is projected to top 22 yards. Ja’Lynn Polk leads the group in fantasy points. But Polk’s 10.8 fantasy points ranks 69th at the position. K.J. Osborn leads the receiving corps in snap share (68.4%) and has a solid 17% snap share. However, Osborn has only accumulated four grabs for 28 yards in two games. Demario Douglas will man the slot but has only caught two balls for 12 yards. The only Patriot pass-catcher worth targeting is TE Hunter Henry. Henry is coming off a robust 8/109/0 line on 12 targets vs. Seattle. However, this week’s matchup is tougher. The Jets held George Kittle to 40 yards and will undoubtedly make stopping Henry a priority. Henry’s receiving line total of 31.5 for this game is concerning. New York Offense Aaron Rodgers enters this game ranked 21st in fantasy points. He is relying on quick/short throws, resulting in a career-low 6.8 ADOT. Meanwhile, the Patriots have only allowed one touchdown pass. However, that came last week when Geno Smith looked fine throwing for 327 yards. Rodgers no longer runs and his passing over/under for this contest is 214 yards. Only the Texans and Ravens have allowed fewer rushing yards to running backs than New England. Still, Breece Hall is tied for the position lead with 14 targets and ranks fourth in fantasy points. The last time he faced this defense, Hall turned 39 touches into 190 yards and a score. Braelon Allen made the most of his 20 snaps last week. However, he’ll find the going tougher against a Patriots’ defense that ranks 10th against running backs. Allen should be viewed as a high-risk DFS option in single-game slates. WR Garrett Wilson has disappointed. The volume has not been there and Wilson ranks just 34th in fantasy points. However, the Patriots just got worked over by Seattle. They’ve surrendered the fifth-most fantasy points to wideouts. Wilson will see plenty of Christian Gonzales in coverage, but his +145 TD odds and receiving line of 5.5/66.5 look good. Mike Williams was up to 37 snaps in Week 2. However, Williams is still recovering from last year’s knee injury. He’s little more than a boom-or-bust DFS flier for now. Williams has a yardage prop of 23.5 yards and is +490 to score. Allen Lazard fell off after his explosive showing in the opener. Lazard’s TD and yardage odds are higher than Williams’s, indicating that he is considered New York’s No. 2. TE Tyler Conklin is playing 93% of snaps but has little production to show for all the playing time. Conklin has garnered just four targets and is averaging fewer fantasy points per game than Andrew Ogletree and MyCole Pruitt. Prediction & Best Bet Easy W taking the Bills last week. Buffalo has dominated the Dolphins. However, this matchup is tougher. In January, the Jets finally ended a 15-game losing streak to the Patriots with a 17-3 victory at Foxborough. The last time New York beat New England at home was in December 2015. As one-sided as this rivalry has been, the Jets have failed to cover in six of their last seven. However, none of those games were with Aaron Rodgers under center. Having a credible signal-caller makes a huge difference. Meanwhile,

2024 New York Jets Fantasy Preview

Jets Rookie RB Breece Hall

2024 New York Jets Fantasy Preview New York’s 2023 season was over before it started after Aaron Rodgers suffered a season-ending injury on the second play. All the hype before last season is now being transferred to 2024 with Rodgers expected to be fully healthy. The Jets have a ton of bonafide studs in the fantasy football landscape. 2022 second-round pick Breece Hall broke out in his second professional season and finished as the RB2 in PPR formats. Hall was electric, finishing with over 1,500 all-purpose yards and nine touchdowns. Only Christian McCaffrey scored more fantasy points. Opposing defenses will no longer be able to stack the box to contain the run as they will have to respect Rodgers’s arm. Garrett Wilson also showcased some serious skills in 2023. Despite losing his signal caller, New York’s go-to target finished with 95 receptions and 1,042 yards but only found the end zone three times. Wilson should be a WR1 in all formats with Rodgers back in the fold. The Jets also signed former Los Angeles Chargers wideout, Mike Williams who could be a solid mid-round value. He’s a big guy who can highpoint the football and find the end zone. He often played second fiddle to Keenan Allen in LA so the transition to New York with Rodgers and Wilson could be the ideal fit. “With Aaron Rodgers healthy and a rebuilt offensive line, the Jets should have a phenomenal passing offense. Wilson has had back-to-back 1,000-yard seasons despite playing with eight different quarterbacks so he should shine with Rodgers.” – Jake Asman, The Jake Asman Show Though Rodgers was drafted as a top-15 quarterback last season, can he be a starting quarterback in fantasy with father time knocking on the door and his physical limitations increasingly apparent in recent years? The four-time MVP enters a scenario with promising talent but the offensive line has to protect him. Rodgers’ pressured passer rating has recently declined: 2020: 89.3 2021: 67.9 2022: 62.6 The Jets ranked fourth highest in sacks allowed and also stood at 23rd in average yards per catch after reception. Will Rodgers have enough time to find his targets in 2024? That’s the big question for the new offensive line. If so, Rodgers can deliver QB1 numbers and lead the Jets to the postseason. However, if the Jets struggle in the trenches, it will limit this team’s fantasy prowess from top to bottom. Quarterbacks QB Rodgers, Aaron, NYJ  – Gamble (high risk) Aaron Rodgers is a polarizing figure, both on and off the field. On one hand, he’s one of the game’s all-time great signal callers. Ignoring his brief 2023 run, Rodgers still showcased excellent arm strength, and the ability to diagnose and dismantle the opposing defense. On the other hand, Rodgers, 40, is on a three-year decline in accuracy, yards, touchdowns, and big-time throw rate while tossing the second-most interceptions of his career in 2022. His rushing production has also plummeted each year since 2018. However, the Jets have some intriguing young skill position talent marred by a substandard offensive line. It paints the picture of Rodgers being a high-risk/reward fantasy option in his Jets redux. ADVICE: Risk/Reward QB2 Running Backs RB Hall, Breece, NYJ – Stud (low risk) Breece Hall had a miraculous recovery from a torn ACL that ended his rookie season. Hall returned to play all 17 games, led all running backs in targets (95), and topped double-digit fantasy points in eight of his final 13 starts. This is doubly impressive when you consider just how impotent the Jets passing attack was without Aaron Rodgers. With Rodgers back, two new starting tackles, and a vastly improved supporting cast, Hall will find much more success on the ground. He’s an elite all-around talent who should be nabbed in the first round of every fantasy draft this summer. ADVICE: Elite three-down back with league-winning potential RB Allen, Braelon, NYJ– Fantasy Handcuff ADVICE: A sizable power back, Allen is only 20 years old. Allen will compete for the No. 2 job behind Breece Hall and could factor in as a short-yardage option with underrated pass-catching skills. A solid late-round handcuff target. Wide Receivers WR Wilson, Garrett, NYJ  – Stud (low risk) A popular breakout candidate last season, Garrett Wilson’s production was impeded after the season-ending injury to QB Aaron Rodgers. Yet, Wison still ranked fourth in the league with 168 targets and a robust 29.9% target share. With Rodgers back, Wilson will see a boost in yards per route and downfield participation. Additionally, an improved line and supporting cast will help open things up for Wilson. Rodgers has a long history of prioritizing his top wideout early and often. Wilson is an elite talent and it’s only a matter of time before he busts out in a huge way. ADVICE: Avoid recency bias. Wilson is a prime year three breakout candidate WR Williams, Mike, NYJ  – Quality Backup Mike Williams was off to a fast start last season, posting WR15 numbers before tearing his ACL in Week 3. Williams is recovering well from surgery and is expected to be ready for the season opener. He signed a one-year deal with the Jets and will add a downfield element that complements Garrett Wilson well. From 2021-2023, Williams was a top-20 wideout in fantasy points per game, which bodes well for his potential in an Aaron Rodgers-led offense. However, Williams is 30 and coming off a major knee injury that could impact his speed. He’s a risk/reward flex option with some upside. ADVICE: Williams is a risk/reward flex option coming off of a major injury WR Corley, Malachi, NYJ – Deep-league Only ADVICE: A versatile and physical wideout who drew pre-draft comparisons to Deebo Samuel, Corley landed in a good spot with the Jets. He’s got a solid chance of opening the season as the slot receiver in an Aaron Rodgers-led offense. That makes Corley a solid late-round flier. Tight Ends TE Conklin, Tyler, NYJ – Sleeper (undervalued) Conklin’s 87 targets

Thursday Night Football Preview: Week 17

The highlight of the final Thursday game of the 2023 fantasy season is that the game gets to kick off championship week. While last week’s Saints vs. Rams tilt hit the over, FullTime Fantasy‘s Thursday Night Football Preview: Week 17 features the Browns hosting the NFL’s most futile offense in the lowly New York Jets.

16th-year pro Joe Flacco has been a revelation for the Browns. Cleveland has started four different signal-callers this season. However, the Browns are in contention for the AFC’s top seed with a nifty 10-5 record.

Meanwhile, the Jets have also had to play the quarterback carousel. But Robert Saleh has not enjoyed anywhere near as much success. At least not on offense. Saleh’s defense ranks third in the NFL.

Saleh does keep his club ready to compete and they will undoubtedly be ready to play spoiler.

New York opened as 6.5-point underdogs and the total was a ghastly 35 points.

Matchup 

TEAM OFFENSE PASS RUSH YDS/PLAY POINTS
New York Jets 32 31 28 30 30
Cleveland Browns 13 20 11 28 10

New York’s season effectively ended after four snaps. After losing Aaron Rodgers, the Jets have struggled to mount any kind of credible offense. Zach Wilson fared about as well as expected before losing – and regaining- the starting job. Tim Boyle and Trevor Siemian have also contributed to the futility.

Siemian will make his second start this week and faces a tough task. Cleveland boasts the NFL’s No. 1 defense. The Browns lead the league in passing defense, interception rate, third-down efficiency, and fewest yards per play.

Meanwhile, Flacco has resurrected a stagnant offense. Cleveland has averaged 29 points per game in Flacco’s three starts. However, the Jets have the No. 2 pass defense and won’t allow the big plays that the Browns produced in Houston.

Points will be at a premium in this one. However, that doesn’t necessarily mean this game is a fantasy football fade.

Mason Rudolph UNDER 191.5 Passing Yards (-115)

After Kenny Pickett’s injury, the Steelers moved on to Mitch Trubisky. However, that was short-lived after Trubisky was benched last week in favor of Rudolph. Now, Rudolph will start on Saturday when the Steelers take on a tough Cincinnati Bengals defense. Rudolph has started 10 games in his career.

Although he is 5-4-1 as a starter, it’s hard to envision him being much of an upgrade over Trubisky. After all, Rudolph is mostly known for being attacked by Myles Garrett with his own helmet back in 2019. Still, Pittsburgh is out of options and they have to roll someone out there. Rudolph has averaged 208.1 passing yards per game but I don’t think he’ll reach that mark in a divisional rivalry in cold weather.

The Steelers lack an identity on the offensive side of the football and although Rudolph has several weapons at his disposal including Diontae Johnson, George Pickens, Pat Freiermuth, and even Najee Harris and Jaylen Warren out of the backfield, Rudolph hasn’t had a lot of reps with these guys.

I anticipate a low-scoring affair in which the Steelers struggle to move the chains. Pittsburgh is a run-first offense but the Bengals are much better at shutting down the run than the pass. If they can effectively contain Harris and Warren in the trenches, Rudolph will struggle to give his receivers space in the secondary. I’m taking the Under.

Week 13 DFS: Running Back Report

The winning running back ticket landed on Kyren Williams (38.40 fantasy points) in Week 13. Christian McCaffrey (30.90) finished with the runner-up prize, followed by Bijan Robinson (27.30) and Isiah Pacheco (25.90). Seven other running backs scored between 20.00 and 22.50 fantasy points. Here are the top five running backs by scoring average after 12 weeks:

  • Christian McCaffrey (24.98)
  • Raheem Mostert (18.48)
  • Travis Etienne (17.44)
  • Rachaad White (14.94)
  • Josh Jacobs (14.61)

Also, check out FullTime Fantasy‘s Week 13 DFS QB Report and TE Report.

Top Tier Options

Christian McCaffrey, SF (DK – $9,000/FD – $9,800)

Even with his second-best fantasy game (30.90) in Week 12, McCaffrey didn’t score high enough to fill his current salary bucket. He has a floor of 20.00 fantasy points over the past five weeks, averaging 21.6 touches. The 49ers have had him on the field for 76% of their plays or more over his last five starts. His best showing (20/106/3 with seven catches for 71 yards and one touchdown) of the year came in Week 4. Last year, McCaffrey gained 106 combined yards with one touchdown and four catches against the Eagles.

Philadelphia has the best defense in the NFL vs. running backs (15.63 FPPG). They allow 4.1 yards per rush, with backs scoring only two touchdowns. Kansas City (30/168) and Buffalo (40/173/2) ran the ball well against them over the past two weeks, but 119 yards (34.9%) came from the quarterback position. Running backs have 58 catches for 359 yards on 75 targets.

McCaffrey doesn’t have the best matchup. The 49ers will ride him early and often in this game, with an uptick of value in the passing game should be expected. He needs multiple touchdowns and at least one big play to be in the mix in Week 13. 

Alvin Kamara, NO (DK – $8,200/FD – $8,300)
