Chris Herndon is Held in Check by Titans

New York Jets tight end Chris Herndon IV had a solid performance versus the Patriots in Week 12, but was unable to keep his momentum rolling. Herndon caught two of his six targets for 31 yards in the loss to the Titans. Herndon has become a bigger part of the Jets offense in the second […]

Robby Anderson Snags Four Receptions in Week 13

New York Jets wide receiver Robby Anderson has been disappointing all season besides his 123-yard game in Week 5. Anderson caught four of his seven targets for 48 yards in the loss to the Titans. In all fairness, Anderson has either Sam Darnold or Josh McCown throwing to him, so it's understandable that he's struggled. […]

Isaiah Crowell is Bright Spot in Loss

New York Jets running back Isaiah Crowell was the lone bright spot for the Jets offense in the 26-22 loss to the Titans. Crowell rushed 21 times for 98 yards and caught four passes for nine yards. Crowell has been basically the only thing the Jets have going for them on offense right now. Maybe things […]

Josh McCown is Silenced by Titans

New York Jets quarterback Josh McCown was unable to get anything going in the 26-22 loss to the Titans in Week 13. McCown drew his third straight start with Sam Darnold (foot) still sidelined. He finished 17-for-30 with 128 passing yards and one interception without a touchdown. To be fair, McCown doesn't have too many […]

Sam Darnold Missing Another Game

New York Jets rookie quarterback Sam Darnold (foot) remains inactive for Week 13 against the Titans. Darnold returned to practice this week and is likely return to the starting role in Week 14. Veteran journeyman Josh McCown will receive another start but has a low ceiling in this mediocre offense and is a low-end QB2 […]

Robby Anderson To Play Against Titans

New York Jets wide receiver Robby Anderson (ankle) is active for Week 13 against the Titans. Anderson has been battling his ankle injury in recent weeks and has just six catches for 57 yards in his last two games. He displayed good chemistry with quarterback Josh McCown last year, but Anderson is a very shaky […]

Sam Darnold, Robby Anderson Questionable

New York Jets rookie quarterback Sam Darnold (foot) and wide receiver Robby Anderson (ankle) are both questionable for Week 13 against the Titans.

Josh McCown Limited Wednesday

New York Jets quarterback Josh McCown (back, hand) was limited in practice on Wednesday.
