New York Jets quarterback Sam Darnold (shoulder) will practice in full on Friday for the second straight day and will start in Week 12 against the division-rival Dolphins "unless something changes today, which I don't anticipate," head coach Adam Gase said.

Week 12 Waiver Wire Pickups & Adds
There's no way to sugarcoat it - if you don't have a reliable group of running backs by now, you might be in trouble. The best strategy for playoff hopefuls is to stash high-end backups that could pay off down the stretch. Quarterback and tight end are similarly thin this week but there are plenty […]
The Cut List (Week 12) - Time to Let Go?
As someone who faced Taysom Hill in both of my home leagues this week, I feel for anyone else who wound up in a similar position. I feel worse for the many people who voiced their concerns on this matter via Twitter (some admittedly in more reasonable tones than others) only to be derided or […]

Wide Receiver Waiver Wire Pickups - Week 12
This wasn't a great week in terms of wide receivers coming out of nowhere to perform, but that's what happens at this point in the season. Positional rotations solidify.

Waiver Wire Express - Week 12 Lightning Round
Week 11 is largely in the books with some nailbiter finishes and standout performances that will shape the stretch run. The injury headlines are dominated by Joe Burrow's suspected ACL tear, but we also saw La'Mical Perine and Rex Burkhead leave with knee injuries as well. And now J.K. Dobbins and Mark Ingram II are […]
Week 11 Outliers Analysis - We Must Overreact!
Week 11 was an odd one for quarterbacks. The Patriots Defense stifled Lamar Jackson in Week 10 and followed that up by allowing Deshaun Watson to finish as the No. 1 quarterback on the week. Taysom Hill, Kirk Cousins, Philip Rivers and Andy Dalton were the unfamiliar names that found themselves inside the top-10 this week. […]

BALLER MOVE: Add in 12+ Team Leagues ROSTERED: 10% of Leagues ANALYSIS: In this the year 2020 of our Lord, Frank Gore keeps being a viable WW target. That's insane, and I never thought I'd still be writing about Gore 43 years ago when he made his NFL debut. But here we are, folks. The Jets […]
La'Mical Perine, Sam Ficken Placed On Injured Reserve
The New York Jets placed rookie running back La'Mical Perine (ankle) and kicker Sam Ficken (undisclosed) on Injured Reserve on Tuesday. Perine and Ficken will miss at least the next three games. Perine was starting to see a bigger role on offense, so this injury is a tough break as he continues to develop in […]
Josh Adams Joining Active Roster
The New York Jets are signing running back Josh Adams to the active roster on Tuesday from the practice squad, according to a source. The move comes with rookie La'Mical Perine (ankle) out several weeks with a high-ankle sprain. Veteran Frank Gore will continue to be Gang Green's lead back, with Ty Johnson and Adams […]
Jets Release Mike White
Despite New York Jets head coach Adam Gase all but saying that 2020 fourth-round pick James Morgan is essentially getting a redshirt year as a rookie, the organization made the call Monday to release quarterback Mike White, who had been serving as Joe Flacco's backup. While Sam Darnold (shoulder) continues to battle injuries, Morgan may […]
Sam Darnold Set To Practice Wednesday; Week 12 Status Unknown
New York Jets quarterback Sam Darnold (shoulder) continues to work his way back from a shoulder injury, with the expectation that he can return to practice Wednesday. Darnold has expressed some optimism that his shoulder has improved with the time off, although how aggressive the Jets will be in rushing their young QB onto the […]
La'Mical Perine Heading To Injured Reserve
New York Jets rookie running back La'Mical Perine (ankle) is expected to land on Injured Reserve due to a high-ankle sprain, ruling him out for at least the next three weeks. The move paves the way for Frank Gore to become the bell-cow out of the backfield, with Ty Johnson set to serve as his […]

Jamison Crowder Posts Dud Versus Chargers

In Week 11, Crowder hauled in one of his three targets for 16 yards in the loss to the Los Angeles Chargers. Crowder and quarterback Joe Flacco have not been able to develop any chemistry together. Fantasy owners […]
Chris Herndon Finally Finds The End Zone
New York Jets tight end Chris Herndon has been a ghost on the field for most of the regular season. Coming in this contest, Herndon had one reception for three yards through his last four games. It's unbelievable that he was really used that little over the last month or so. Herndon hauled in two […]
Breshad Perriman Salvages Value With Touchdown
New York Jets wide receiver Breshad Perriman had his best game of the season before the team had a Week 10 bye week. Perriman attempted to carry some of that momentum into his Week 11 matchup. He hauled in two of his four targets for 54 yards and one touchdown in the loss to the […]
Denzel Mims Continues To Get Involved

La'Mical Perine Finds The End Zone In Loss
New York Jets running back La'Mical Perine was expected to have a heavier workload in Week 11. However, that didn't go as planned as Perine saw eight carries for 33 yards and one touchdown in the loss to the Los Angeles Chargers. Head coach Adam Gase hinted that Perine would be the featured back, but […]
Frank Gore Gets First Rushing TD Of The Season
New York Jets running back Frank Gore was finally able to find the end zone for the first time on the ground this season. He rushed 15 times for 61 yards and one touchdown in the Week 11 loss to the Los Angeles Chargers. Head coach Adam Gase continues to lean on the veteran back […]
