New York Jets wide receiver Jamison Crowder (groin) was placed on the COVID-19 list after testing positive on Friday.

New York Jets wide receiver Jamison Crowder (groin) is currently considered day-to-day heading into Week 1 against the Carolina Panthers.

Corey Davis (WR, NYJ) - 2021 Fantasy Football Draft Values
BALLER MOVE: Target Around ~80 Overall CURRENT ADP: ~100 ANALYSIS: As soon as Corey Davis appeared to reward fantasy managers for their patience, he switched teams.

Jamison Crowder Day To Day With Groin Injury
New York Jets wide receiver Jamison Crowder (groin) missed practice and is now "day to day" according to head coach Robert Saleh.

Jamison Crowder Misses Practice, To Be Evaluated Monday
New York Jets wide receiver Jamison Crowder (groin) missed practice on Wednesday due to a groin injury. He has a "minor groin tweak" and will be re-evaluated on Monday.

Ryan Griffin Back With The Jets
New York Jets tight end Ryan Griffin was unable to make the final 53-man roster. He was cut by the team on Tuesday, but returned as a member of the practice squad on Wednesday. The Jets are without many options at tight end, so it wouldn't be shocking to see Griffin back on the field […]
James Morgan No Longer With Jets
New York Jets quarterback James Morgan was released by the organization on Tuesday. Both Morgan and veteran Josh Johnson were cut in order to finalize the 53-man roster. However, Johnson was brought back on the practice squad, but Morgan's time in New York is over. The former fourth-round pick will head to the Carolina Panthers […]
Mike White Wins Backup Job
New York Jets quarterback Mike White has won the backup job to start the regular season. An interesting move by the organization to cut both Josh Johnson and James Morgan on Tuesday.

Tight End Rankings Analysis – PPR Leagues

With subpar quarterback play, Shenault pulled in 58 catches for […]
Chris Herndon Traded To Vikings
The Minnesota Vikings have traded for the Jets tight end Chris Herndon in exchange for draft compensation.

David Johnson (RB, HOU) - 2021 Fantasy Football Draft Values
BALLER MOVE: Target Around ~80 Overall CURRENT ADP: ~90 ANALYSIS: Not only did the Texans lose their starting QB with Deshaun Watson--not confirmed, but most probably--missing the whole 2021 season and probably getting traded, but they doubled down on that misery by signing two RBs to build a three-headed-monster backfield. To David Johnson, they added Phillip Lindsay and Mark Ingram […]
Elijah Moore (WR, NYJ) - 2021 Fantasy Football Draft Sleepers
BALLER MOVE: Target Around ~142 Overall CURRENT ADP: ~157 ANALYSIS: The Jets' highly-touted second-round pick out of Ole Miss has impressed in camp and has seemingly vaulted Denzel Mims and potentially even Keelan Cole on the depth chart. He's working with the first-team offense now; Jets beat writers are all worked up, and head coach Robert Saleh […]
Corey Davis (WR, NYJ) - 2021 Fantasy Football Draft Sleepers
BALLER MOVE: Target Around ~125 Overall CURRENT ADP: ~142 ANALYSIS: As soon as Corey Davis appeared to reward fantasy managers for their patience, he switched teams. Last season, Davis set career highs in receptions, receiving yards, touchdowns, and catch percentage. Davis missed just two games and was the WR31 in 2020. Now, we get to see Davis try […]
