Le'Veon Bell Looks To Finish Strong
New York Jets running back Le'Veon Bell has had a disappointing first season in New York but will look to finish strong vs the Bills on Sunday. Bell's 3.3 yards per carry is the lowest of his career and his rushing total is all but certain to be the lowest mark of his career, with […]

New York Jets kicker Sam Ficken had a career day last week against Pittsburgh, drilling all three field-goal attempts, including a career-long 54-yarder.

New York Jets wide receiver Jamison Crowder made four catches for 60 yards in a win vs the Steelers Sunday.

Mike Schwarzenbach 5 years agoDemaryius Thomas Not Practicing Friday

Mike Schwarzenbach 5 years agoJets Defense Not Recommended Sunday
The New York Jets Defense may be getting Pro Bowl safety Jamal Adams (ankle) back ahead of a "home" game vs the Steelers, but they are still not an attractive unit to start in your fantasy championship.
