Terrelle Pryor, Neal Sterling Limited Wednesday

New York Jets wide receiver Terrelle Pryor and tight end Neal Sterling were both limited in practice on Wednesday. Both are on track to play in Week 6 against the Colts, but neither have significant roles in the offense. Pryor has just nine catches on 16 targets for 178 yards in five contests. He caught […]

Isaiah Crowell Missing Practice Wednesday

New York Jets running back Isaiah Crowell (ankle), cornerback Trumaine Johnson and wide receivers Andre Roberts and Charone Peake did not practice on Wednesday. It's unclear how serious Crowell's injury is, but he managed over 200 yards on the ground against Denver in Week 5 and could just be getting some much-needed rest. If active, […]

Is Case Keenum Holding The Broncos Back?

After a 2-0 start, the Denver Broncos have lost three straight games and are at a crossroads after five games with a daunting home matchup against the 5-0 Los Angeles Rams on deck in Week 6.

Despite the return of Devonta Freeman in Atlanta, it […]

Week 6 Quarterback Waiver Wire Adds and Pickups

Week 5 was a week of duds for many at the quarterback position, with ten starting quarterbacks scoring fewer than 15 fantasy points based on standard scoring. Some of those quarterbacks being universally owned and started as well. Disappointing performances aside, there were still plenty of encouraging games from low-owned quarterbacks. Detroit and New Orleans […]

The Cut List - Players on the Chopping Block (Week 6)

This is your weekly list of players to drop. I will do my best to limit this list to injured players and players you might consider holding. If you roster pure handcuffs or backups, obviously you can let them go at any time. The players on this list will, ideally, be guys that aren't clearly […]

Sam Darnold (QB, NYJ) - Week 6 Waiver Wire Pickups

BALLER MOVE: Add in 2QB Leagues OWNED IN: 7% of Leagues ANALYSIS: No one should look at New York Jets quarterback Sam Darnold and his three touchdown performance in Week 5 against Denver as his breakout game. He was only 10-for-22 passing with 198 yards, and nearly 40% of those yards came on one play, a […]

Robby Anderson Pulls In Two Touchdowns

New York Jets wide receiver Robby Anderson had a productive day on Sunday in the win over the Denver Broncos.

Isaiah Crowell Goes Off On Sunday

New York Jets running back Isaiah Crowell had himself a day in the win over the Broncos on Sunday, finishing up rushing for 219 yards and a touchdown off of 15 carries.

Sam Darnold Throws Three Touchdowns On Sunday

New York Jets quarterback Sam Darnold was productive against a suddenly faulty Denver defense on Sunday. The rookie, who has been inefficient over the past few weeks, finished up throwing for 198 yards and three touchdowns.

Stop Holding Us Back! Underutilized RBs

Every season there are some players we expect to break out. Some of them don’t for one simple reason - the team doesn’t play them over inferior players. Whether it be due to contract numbers or coach’s preference, teams stick with a player long after it is obvious someone else is better. In years past, […]

Trumaine Johnson Ruled Out

New York Jets cornerback Trumaine Johnson (quadriceps) did not practice on Friday and has been ruled out for Week 5 against the Denver Broncos. It's a blow to the Jets defense this weekend, but thankfully they'll be facing the inept Case Keenum, who hasn't thrown a touchdown pass since Week 1. Johnson's absence is a […]

Quincy Enunwa Will Play Against Broncos

New York Jets wide receiver Quincy Enunwa (hip), who was a late addition to the injury report this week, has been taken off the final injury report for Week 5 against the Broncos. He will play, but he's more of a WR3/flex option in a stagnant offense while going up against strong slot cornerback Chris […]

Quincy Enunwa Added To Injury Report

New York Jets wide receiver Quincy Enunwa (hip) was a limited participant in practice on Thursday. Enunwa should be fine to play in Week 5 against the Broncos unless he suffers another setback on Friday. He has been rookie quarterback Sam Darnold's favorite target through four games, but it hasn't amounted to a ton of […]

Here we'll […]
