Jets Defense Gets Shredded, Scores TD
The New York Jets Defense was unable to slow down MVP front-runner Lamar Jackson and the high-flying Ravens offense on Thursday night.

New York Jets kicker Sam Ficken missed his only field goal and made just one of two extra points in a loss to the Ravens Thursday. Ficken was the hero last Sunday with a walk-off field goal, but had a night to forget in Week 15. To be fair, the kick Ficken missed was a […]

New York Jets tight end Daniel Brown caught just one pass for four yards in a loss to the Ravens Thursday.

Mike Schwarzenbach 5 years agoSam Darnold Faces Tough Test In Week 15
New York Jets quarterback Sam Darnold has been a streamable quarterback over the last month, but fantasy owners who had been relying on the sophomore signal-caller may want to explore other options in Week 15.
