Elijah Moore Held Without A Catch

New York Jets wide receiver Elijah Moore (concussion) was already a risky fantasy option heading into Week 5. He was able to get in full practice towards the end of the week, but was sidelined earlier due to a concussion. Nonetheless, Moore did suit up versus the Atlanta Falcons. Although, he was held without a […]

Jamison Crowder Posts Dud In Week 5

New York Jets wide receiver Jamison Crowder was solid during his season debut last week. Sadly, he wasn't able to match that performance against the Atlanta Falcons in Week 5. He finished with four receptions on six targets for 24 yards in the loss. Those six targets were second on the team behind Corey Davis. […]

Corey Davis Is Inefficient Versus Falcons

New York Jets wide receiver Corey Davis put together his best game of the season in Week 4. Sadly, he was not able to carry that momentum into the Week 5 matchup with the Atlanta Falcons. Davis hauled in four of his seven targets for 45 yards in the loss. Those seven targets were a […]

Ty Johnson Finds The End Zone In Week 5

New York Jets running back Ty Johnson has been off to a slow start this season, but picked it up a bit in Week 5. He rushed four times for 12 yards and one touchdown during the loss to the Atlanta Falcons. Johnson also added two receptions for 22 yards, which is decent considering he […]

Michael Carter Scores In Loss To Atlanta

New York Jets running back Michael Carter appears to be the lead back for this offense going forward. In Week 5, Carter rushed 10 times for 38 yards and one touchdown in the loss to the Atlanta Falcons. He could've had more, but Ty Johnson vultured a one-yard score. It's also worth noting that Carter […]

Zach Wilson Looks Sluggish Against Falcons

New York Jets quarterback Zach Wilson came into this outing looking fairly decent in the win over Tennessee in Week 4. However, Wilson struggled to get anything going against the Atlanta Falcons on Sunday. He completed 19-of-32 passing attempts for 192 yards and one interception in the Week 5 loss. It doesn't help that Wilson […]

Week 5 Defense (DEF) Streamers and Starts - 2021 Fantasy Tiers, Rankings

As the games concluded on Sunday, I was sure I had a terrible week.

La'Mical Perine Inactive Against Atlanta

New York Jets running back La'Mical Perine is a healthy scratch for Sunday's game against the Falcons in London. The 23-year-old was cleared of the illness that kept him out of last week's game but still remains inactive as a coach's decision.
