Running Back Stat Sleepers - Elusiveness Rating
A lot of elements go into making a running back desirable for fantasy football. Opportunity, a good offensive line and a good offense are all key elements. However, something equally important is how elusive those running backs are, this includes avoiding tackles and gaining yards after contact. Often players who have these traits fall into […]
Trumaine Johnson Among The Healing For Jets
New York Jets cornerback Trumaine Johnson (hamstring) missed another practice Sunday, as he continues to nurse a hamstring injury he suffered in the second preseason game against the Washington Redskins. At least half of the team's projected starting secondary has been sidelined for a good chunk of the two preseason games, as free safety Marcus […]
Sam Darnold Likely To Start This Week
New York Jets rookie quarterback Sam Darnold received the bulk of the repetitions at practice on Sunday and is the likely starter for the third preseason game this week. Barring a bad performance this week, ESPN New York's Rich Cimini gets the impression that Darnold is the leading candidate to start in Week 1. Darnold […]
Paul Richardson (WR, WAS) - 2018 Fantasy Football Draft Sleeper
BALLER MOVE: Target ~160 CURRENT ADP: ~165 ANALYSIS: Washington Redskins wide receiver Paul Richardson is a burner. Now calling Washington home, Richardson will be on the receiving end of Alex Smith’s passes. Hence, fantasy owners will instantly make the Tyreek Hill comparison. Obviously, Washington is not Kansas City, so we cannot simply pencil Richardson in for the 1,183 […]
Wide Receiver Stat Sleepers - Fantasy Points Per Target
How much value to place on targets is one of the biggest problems fantasy owners face when it comes to evaluating wide receivers. The logical assumption is that you can’t catch a ball that isn’t thrown your direction; meaning more targets equal more opportunities to produce. But, go ask Demaryius Thomas owners how that worked […]

Isaiah Crowell Sheds Red Non-Contact Jersey
New York Jets running back Isaiah Crowell (concussion) shed his red non-contact jersey in practice Saturday, participating in individual drills. He was knocked out of the team's preseason opener due to a concussion and missed the second exhibition game against the Washington Redskins. He is likely to make a cameo in the third preseason game […]
Several Injured Jets Make Way Back Onto Field
New York Jets running back Trenton Cannon (foot), tight end Chris Herndon IV (knee) and wide receiver Neal Sterling (ankle) were able to return to the practice field on Saturday. It was a good day for the offense, too, as they were joined by starting offensive linemen Kelvin Beachum (foot) and Brian Winters (abdomen). Cornerback […]
Terrelle Pryor Makes Return To The Practice Field
New York Jets wide receiver Terrelle Pryor (ankle) was able to return to the practice field Saturday. He has been taking it slow in his return from a broken ankle suffered back in May. It's huge for him to get back onto the practice field, too, as Quincy Enunwa (thumb) was also back after a […]
Quincy Enunwa Works In Team Drills
New York Jets wide receiver Quincy Enunwa (thumb) worked in team drills on Saturday for the first time since suffering his injury. He reportedly looked good and did not have any setbacks. It's a big step for Enunwa, who missed the entire 2017 regular season due to a neck injury. He was sidelined for about […]
Jets QB Picture Cloudy
New York Jets head coach Todd Bowles said the team's quarterback picture remains cloudy after rookie Sam Darnold took a slight step back in the second preseason game against the Redskins on Thursday. Bowles didn't put too much into Darnold's interception, but Teddy Bridgewater also continued to play well. Bowles will make his starting QB […]
Clive Walford Shows Well In Preseason Loss
New York Jets tight end Clive Walford racked up two receptions for 25 yards, including a 19-yard catch, in Thursday's preseason loss in Washington. He led all of the team's tight ends statistically, really helping his stock. The former standout at the University of Miami and ex-Oakland Raiders pass catcher, was buried on the unofficial […]
Bilal Powell Leads Way For Jets Backfield
New York Jets running back Bilal Powell carried six times for 17 yards in Thursday's preseason loss in Washington, and he added two receptions for 20 yards. He and Thomas Rawls were the first two backs into the game, as Isaiah Crowell (head) was out after suffering a head injury in the preseason opener. Rawls […]
Teddy Bridgewater Continues To Improve His Stock
New York Jets quarterback Teddy Bridgewater completed eight of 13 passes for 101 yards, one touchdown and one interception in Thursday's preseason road game against the Washington Redskins. Bridgewater was sharp at times, including on his 16-yard pass to the corner of the end zone to wide receiver Charone Peake early in the fourth quarter […]
Sam Darnold Not Nearly As Crisp In Washington
New York Jets quarterback Sam Darnold started Thursday's preseason road game against the Washington Redskins and he played the entire first half. The rookie completed eight of his 11 pass attempts for 62 yards, no touchdowns and one interception. To be fair, his only miscue was on a tipped pass that probably should have been […]
Josh McCown Will Not Play Thursday
New York Jets quarterback Josh McCown will not play in Thursday's preseason game against the Washington Redskins. Apparently head coach Todd Bowles wants to see a lot more of rookie Sam Darnold, as well as Teddy Bridgewater. It's unlikely the Jets will be able to move the aging McCown, as he is 39 years old […]
Trenton Cannon Behind In Returner Competition
New York Jets running back Trenton Cannon (ankle, foot) was inactive for Thursday's preseason game against the Washington Redskins. He continues to lag behind wide receiver Andre Roberts in the competition for both the kickoff return and punt return competitions. If Cannon is going to make the 53-man roster, he is going to have to […]
Marcus Maye Among Key Players Missing For Gang Green
New York Jets free safety Marcus Maye (ankle) missed his second consecutive preseason game Thursday against the Washington Redskins. Safety Doug Middleton was tasked with replacing him in the starting lineup. In fact, 23 of the team's 90 players on the current roster were inactive due to injuries and/or other reasons. Offensive guard Brian Winters […]
Terrelle Pryor Resting His Ankle On Thursday
New York Jets wide receiver Terrelle Pryor (ankle) did not suit up for Thursday's preseason game against the Washington Redskins. His absence against his former team is not unexpected as he slowly makes his way back from a broken ankle suffered back in May. His revealing of the injury on social media drew the ire […]
Quincy Enunwa Doesn't Play In Preseason Game
New York Jets wide receiver Quincy Enunwa (thumb) reportedly looked good in pregame warmups before the preseason game with the Washington Redskins. He ran routes and was catching passes, but he was inactive for the game. Beat writer Manish Mehta said that the receiver looked close to 100 percent healthy. That's a great sign for […]
Sam Darnold Looks Poised To Be Starter
New York Jets rookie quarterback Sam Darnold is in line to make his first preseason start Thursday against the Redskins, and the Jets have been privately giddy about him. He's been the real deal, and barring a deer-in-the-headlights moment in the next couple of weeks, it'd be an upset if Darnold isn't the team's Week […]
Several Jets Players Won't Play Thursday
New York Jets running back Isaiah Crowell (head), wide receivers Quincy Enunwa (thumb) and Terrelle Pryor (ankle) and tight end Chris Herndon are not expected to play in the preseason game on Thursday. All of these players should be fine, but the Jets are just being cautious with several weeks to go before the regular […]
Robby Anderson (WR, NYJ) - 2018 Fantasy Football Draft Sleeper
BALLER MOVE: Target ~100 CURRENT ADP: ~105 ANALYSIS: In his sophomore season, New York Jets wide receiver Robby Anderson made quite the leap. He saw 114 targets, had 63 receptions, 941 yards and seven touchdowns on his way to a WR18 finish. Now he is being drafted outside the top-40? Are drafters scared of his off-the-field issues? […]
Five Wide Receiver ADP Draft Values
As the NFL season approaches, and leagues begin to host their fantasy drafts, we have a pretty good idea of where most players will be drafted. While the early rounds are chock full of studs and obvious picks, it's the middle and late rounds that will truly make or break your draft. Today, I present […]
Brian Winters Part Of A Banged-Up Offensive Line
New York Jets offensive guard Brian Winters (abdomen) continues to rest and he is unlikely to play during the preseason. The offensive line has been banged up early on, as OT Ben Ijalana (shoulder) was placed on the Reserve/Injured list Wednesday, while OT Kelvin Beachum (foot) has been sidelined due to a foot ailment. The […]
Jermaine Kearse Enjoys Competition At Wideout
New York Jets wide receiver Jermaine Kearse enjoys the fact that the roster is littered with playmakers at the position and, as he says, "The competition is tight." He and Robby Anderson had breakout performances in 2017, and they're rejoined by Quincy Enunwa, who is now healthy. Terrelle Pryor is also in the mix for a […]
Teddy Bridgewater Might Be A Nice Trade Chip
New York Jets quarterback Teddy Bridgewater was sharp in his first preseason appearance and the club currently has three starting-caliber signal callers on the roster. Rookie quarterback Sam Darnold is the future - and potentially the present - while veteran quarterback Josh McCown is also in the mix on a much higher salary. The team is willing […]
