Kene Nwangwu Kene Nwangwu Cedes most returns to Williams
Sun, Nov 23, 2025, 9:15 PM
Nwangwu (hamstring) had a 34-yard kickoff return in Sunday's 23-10 loss to the Ravens.
Analysis: Nwangwu suited up after being listed as questionable, but he ceded four of the Jets' five kickoff return opportunities to Isaiah Williams. When fully healthy, Nwangwu has served as the Jets' primary kickoff returner. |

Isaiah Williams Isaiah Williams Touches limited to special teams
Sun, Nov 23, 2025, 9:14 PM
Williams had four kickoff returns for 122 yards and three punt returns for 23 yards in Sunday's 23-10 loss to the Ravens.
Analysis: Williams didn't get a touch on offense as his usage on that side of the ball faded, but he contributed significantly on special teams. Kene Nwangwu (hamstring) played through a questionable tag but returned only one kickoff while Williams served as the primary kickoff returner in addition to the depth wideout's usual role returning punts. Williams' fantasy value is confined to formats that reward return yards. |

Andrew Beck Andrew Beck Season-long 10-yard reception
Sun, Nov 23, 2025, 9:13 PM
Beck caught his only target for 10 yards in Sunday's 23-10 loss to the Ravens.
Analysis: Beck has caught four of five targets for 26 yards and a touchdown this season. The fullback's 10-yard reception Sunday was his longest catch of the season. |

Arian Smith Arian Smith Not targeted in Week 12
Sun, Nov 23, 2025, 9:01 PM
Smith rushed once for eight yards and wasn't targeted in Sunday's 23-10 loss to the Ravens.
Analysis: Smith hasn't seen many opportunities since the Jets traded for wide receivers John Metchie and Adonai Mitchell, as the rookie fourth-round pick has gone three consecutive games without a target. Smith has promising speed but hasn't exceeded two touches on offense in any game. |
|
Allen Lazard Allen Lazard One catch in Week 12
Sun, Nov 23, 2025, 9:00 PM
Lazard caught one of three targets for nine yards in Sunday's 23-10 loss to the Ravens.
Analysis: John Metchie and Adonai Mitchell tied for the team lead with seven targets apiece from Tyrod Taylor, while Lazard was the only other Jets wide receiver to earn a target. Lazard has yet to exceed 16 receiving yards in a game this season, so he'll likely remain a fantasy non-factor in Week 13 against the Falcons, regardless of whether Taylor or Justin Fields starts at quarterback. |

Isaiah Davis Isaiah Davis Stays quiet in Week 12 loss
Sun, Nov 23, 2025, 9:00 PM
Davis rushed four times for seven yards and wasn't targeted in Sunday's 23-10 loss to the Ravens.
Analysis: As usual, Davis didn't get many opportunities behind Breece Hall, who turned 20 touches into 119 scrimmage yards. Hall lost a fumble near the goal line but led the team in both rushing and receiving yards, so Hall isn't in much danger of seeing his role reduced in Week 13 against the Falcons. |

Adonai Mitchell Adonai Mitchell Catches just two of seven targets
Sun, Nov 23, 2025, 5:22 PM
Mitchell caught two of seven targets for 42 yards in Sunday's 23-10 loss to the Ravens.
Analysis: Mitchell has caught three of 13 targets in two appearances for the Jets. The 2024 second-round pick of the Colts is getting more opportunities with his new team after being included alongside two first-round draft picks in the trade that sent Sauce Gardner to Indianapolis, but Mitchell has struggled to convert his chances into production so far. Mitchell should continue to see significant playing time in Week 13 against the Falcons, as the Jets will remain without top wideout Garrett Wilson (knee), who is on injured reserve until at least Week 15. |

Mason Taylor Mason Taylor Three catches with Tyrod at QB
Sun, Nov 23, 2025, 5:21 PM
Taylor caught three of five targets for 21 yards in Sunday's 23-10 loss to the Ravens.
Analysis: Taylor didn't see a significant change in production as the Jets benched Justin Fields in favor of Tyrod Taylor (no relation to Mason) at quarterback. Tyrod will likely remain the starter against the Falcons in Week 13. The Jets' rookie tight end has recorded at least three catches in four of the past five games, and that stretch includes Taylor's lone touchdown catch. |

John Metchie John Metchie Working as top NYJ WR sans Wilson
Sun, Nov 23, 2025, 5:11 PM
Metchie caught six of seven targets for 65 yards and a touchdown in Sunday's 23-10 loss to the Ravens.
Analysis: Metchie scored a 13-yard touchdown in the second quarter, giving him touchdown receptions in consecutive games after he played only eight snaps in his Week 10 Jets debut. The 2022 second-round draft pick is on his third team before the conclusion of his rookie contract, but Metchie is being given an opportunity to play a larger role compared to his stops in Houston and Philadelphia, as the Jets lack established talent at wide receiver in the ongoing absence of Garrett Wilson (knee), who is on injured reserve until at least Week 15. Metchie will try to extend his touchdown streak to three games in Week 13 against the Falcons. |

Tyrod Taylor Tyrod Taylor Throws one TD pass in Week 12 loss
Sun, Nov 23, 2025, 5:09 PM
Taylor completed 17 of 28 pass attempts for 222 yards, one touchdown and one interception in Sunday's 23-10 loss to the Ravens. He also rushed five times for 19 yards.
Analysis: Taylor made his second start of the season, this time as a result of Justin Fields being benched. Taylor connected with John Metchie for a 13-yard touchdown in the second quarter, and Taylor's interception came on a meaningless deep heave on the game's final play. The Jets' passing game was noticeably more effective with Taylor after Fields threw for 116 yards or fewer in four of his last five starts prior to losing his starting role. While the team's quarterback situation remains fluid heading into a Week 13 home game against the Falcons, Taylor likely cleared the low bar needed to earn another start. |

Breece Hall Breece Hall Leading rusher and receiver again
Sun, Nov 23, 2025, 3:17 PM
Hall rushed 16 times for 44 yards and caught all four of his targets for 75 yards in Sunday's 23-10 loss to the Ravens. He also lost a fumble.
Analysis: Hall has recorded at least 111 scrimmage yards in six of 11 games this season and at least 119 yards in three of the past four games. His fumble came at the two-yard line in the fourth quarter as he was battling for extra yards at the end of an 11-yard run. Hall led the Jets in both rushing yards and receiving yards for the second time in the past three games, so he's poised to maintain a significant role in the Jets' underwhelming offense against the Falcons in Week 13. |

Khalil Herbert Khalil Herbert Inactive Sunday
Sun, Nov 23, 2025, 11:10 AM
Herbert (coach's decision) is inactive for Sunday's game against the Ravens.
Analysis: Herbert was unavailable the past two games due to a groin injury but will be inactive again Sunday despite being recovered from the injury. Kene Nwangwu will instead serve as the No. 3 tailback behind Breece Hall and Isaiah Davis. |

Kene Nwangwu Kene Nwangwu Cleared to play Week 12
Sun, Nov 23, 2025, 11:06 AM
Nwangwu (hamstring) is active for Sunday's game against Baltimore.
Analysis: Nwangwu was limited in the last two practices of Week 12 prep due to a hamstring injury, but he has been given the green light to play Sunday after going through pregame warmups. Nwangwu will mostly contribute on special teams as a returner on kickoffs, but he will also will serve as the Jets' No. 3 RB behind Breece Hall and Isaiah Davis due to Khalil Herbert (coach's decision) being inactive. |
|
Tyler Johnson Tyler Johnson Healthy scratch Week 12
Sun, Nov 23, 2025, 11:03 AM
Johnson (coach's decision) is inactive for Sunday's game against the Ravens.
Analysis: Johnson didn't receive a target the past two games and will now be a healthy scratch for Sunday's matchup in Baltimore. Arian Smith and Allen Lazard are poised to operate as the Jets' depth wideouts behind Adonai Mitchell, John Metchie and Isaiah Williams. |

Kene Nwangwu Kene Nwangwu Questionable after limited practice
Fri, Nov 21, 2025, 3:49 PM
Nwangwu (hamstring) is listed as questionable for Sunday's game against the Ravens.
Analysis: Nwangwu didn't practice Thursday but returned to limited participation Friday. If the Jets' usual kickoff returner isn't available Sunday, those duties would likely go to Isaiah Williams. |

Kene Nwangwu Kene Nwangwu Hamstring flares up
Thu, Nov 20, 2025, 3:58 PM
Nwangwu (hamstring) didn't practice Thursday.
Analysis: Nwangwu wasn't on Wednesday's injury report, so it's possible he aggravated his hamstring injury during practice. The standout return man previously missed action this season due to a hamstring injury and concussion, which have combined to limit Nwangwu to five appearances. If Nwangwu sits out Sunday against the Ravens, Isaiah Williams would likely tack kickoff-return duties onto his usual role as a punt returner. |

Khalil Herbert Khalil Herbert Past groin injury
Wed, Nov 19, 2025, 8:12 PM
Herbert (groin) was not listed on Wednesday's injury report.
Analysis: Herbert missed the Jets' last two games due to a groin injury, but his absence from Wednesday's injury report indicates that he is on track to play against the Ravens on Sunday. His return gives the Jets additional depth in the backfield and another return option on kickoffs. |

Justin Fields Justin Fields Will back up Taylor on Sunday
Wed, Nov 19, 2025, 11:40 AM
Coach Aaron Glenn confirmed Wednesday that Fields will be the Jets' No. 2 QB on Sunday against the Ravens, Rich Cimini of ESPN.com reports.
Analysis: Brady Cook is on the Jets' practice squad, but at this stage Glenn notes that the 24-year-old signal caller is still developing, per Eric Allen of the team's official site. As a result, Fields -- who went 2-7 over his nine starts for the 2-8 Jets -- will back up Tyrod Taylor, who has officially been named the starter versus Baltimore this weekend. |

Tyrod Taylor Tyrod Taylor Jets making QB change
Mon, Nov 17, 2025, 11:30 AM
Taylor is slated to replace Justin Fields as New York's starting quarterback during Sunday's road matchup against the Ravens, Dianna Russini of The Athletic reports.
Analysis: Taylor previously relieved Fields during New York's loss to the Panthers in Week 7 and then appeared set to take over as the team's starter Week 8, but a knee contusion suffered versus Carolina derailed that opportunity. However, Fields' continued struggles as a passer now pave the way for Taylor to take over under center Week 12. With Garrett Wilson (knee) on IR, it will also be a challenge for Taylor to rack up notable production through the air, though improving upon Fields' average of 139.9 passing yards per game is a more than reasonable target. Adonai Mitchell, John Metchie and Tyler Johnson will operate as Taylor's top wideouts versus Baltimore on Sunday. |

Justin Fields Justin Fields Expected to be benched Week 12
Mon, Nov 17, 2025, 11:23 AM
The Jets are expected to bench Fields in favor of veteran backup Tyrod Taylor for Sunday's game against the Ravens, Dianna Russini of The Athletic reports.
Analysis: Fields improved as a passer slightly during New York's loss to the Patriots on Thursday Night Football in Week 11, completing 15 of 26 passes for 116 yards with a touchdown and no interceptions, but as has been the norm he did much of his damage on the ground with 11 carries for 67 yards and another TD. Despite the context of Fields working without top wideout Garrett Wilson (knee, IR), his struggles through the air now appear to have officially cost him his tenure as the Jets' starter. Expect head coach Aaron Glenn to confirm the QB change prior to New York next taking the practice field, which will occur Wednesday at the latest. It remains to be seen whether Fields will work as the No. 2 option behind Taylor. |
