Chris Herndon Sets Season Highs Against Patriots

New York Jets tight end Chris Herndon IV is pretty much an unknown when it comes to fantasy football tight ends. However, lately Herndon has been a reliable TE2 most weeks, so maybe he'll become more popular. He caught seven of his eight targets for 57 yards in the loss to the Patriots in Week […]

Jermaine Kearse Leads in Targets in Week 12

New York Jets wide receiver Jermaine Kearse was one of the few bright spots for the Jets in the Week 12 loss to the Patriots. Kearse was targeted a season-high 12 times during the 27-13 loss. He hauled in six of those targets for 66 yards and a touchdown. Kearse is targeted quite often in […]

Quincy Enunwa Reels in All Four Targets

New York Jets wide receiver Quincy Enunwa hasn't been much of a fantasy option since the first month of the regular season. However, Enunwa finished with his second most receiving yards on the season in the Week 12 loss to the Patriots. Enunwa caught all four of his targets for 73 yards in the 27-13 […]

Elijah McGuire is Quiet in Week 12

New York Jets running back Elijah McGuire rushed six times for 19 yards and caught one pass for seven yards in the Week 12 loss to the Patriots. Isaiah Crowell is the lead back for the Jets, but he only saw six rushing attempts as well. Quarterback Josh McCown threw 45 times during Week 12, […]

Isaiah Crowell is Disappointing in Week 12

New York Jets running back Isaiah Crowell continued his disappointing season in Week 12 versus the Patriots. Crowell rushed six times for 30 yards and caught three passes for 30 yards through the air. He's battling Elijah McGuire for playing time, so both players don't have great fantasy value. Quarterback Josh McCown threw 45 times […]

Josh McCown Has Lackluster Start Versus Pats

New York Jets quarterback Josh McCown was not efficient in the 27-13 loss to the Patriots in Week 12. McCown finished 26-for-45 and 276 passing yards with a touchdown and interception. The Jets were forced to throw the ball often without much of a run game at all. Sadly, McCown and his receivers were not […]

Robby Anderson Playing Against Patriots

New York Jets wide receiver Robby Anderson (ankle) is active for Week 12 against the Patriots. Anderson is back for the first time since Nov. 4 against the Dolphins, and he's expected to have a limited role in his return against New England. With quarterback Sam Darnold still on the shelf, it's really hard to […]

Robby Anderson Expected To Play Limited Role In Week 12

New York Jets wide receiver Robby Anderson (ankle) is expected to play for the first time since Week 9, but NFL.com's Ian Rapoport says that Anderson will play a limited role against the Patriots on Sunday. Anderson is an intriguing fantasy option once he's fully acclimated back into this team, but not for Week 12.

Week 12 Consistency Reports - Start/Sit Decisions

Robby Anderson Misses Another Practice

New York Jets wide receiver Robby Anderson (ankle) did not practice on Thursday and is considered questionable for Week 12 against the New England Patriots. He sat out on Wednesday as well, so it seems highly unlikely that Anderson is going to play this week. Quincy Enunwa and Jermaine Kearse should see more action if […]

Sam Darnold Ruled Out for Week 12

New York Jets quarterback Sam Darnold (foot) did not practice on Thursday and has been ruled out for Week 12 against the New England Patriots.

To Handcuff, or Not To Handcuff?

I've been handcuffed more times than I care to admit. Unfortunately, never for "pleasure" (I have only three shades of grey). Before you ask, I'm not some felonious degenerate (though I know a few, and may or may not be related to a few more), there was just a time in my life where I […]

Waiver Wire Express - Week 12 Lightning Round

Week 11 has been quite the show thus far, as all of our fantasy teams can only aspire to be half as successful as the New Orleans Saints, who appear to be executing at will over opponents.
