Kenny Yeboah Kenny Yeboah First NFL TD highlights 2024 season
Thu, Jan 9, 2025, 2:02 PM
Yeboah caught five of nine targets for 47 yards and a touchdown in the 2024 season.
Analysis: Yeboah appeared in nine games while filling a depth role. He scored his first NFL touchdown in Week 11 against the Colts. After appearing in 33 games for the Jets over the past four seasons, Yeboah will be an unrestricted free agent this offseason. |

Jeremy Ruckert Jeremy Ruckert Catches 18 passes in 2024
Thu, Jan 9, 2025, 1:59 PM
Ruckert caught 18 of 28 targets for 105 yards in the 2024 season.
Analysis: Ruckert worked as the No. 2 tight end behind Tyler Conklin, who is set to be an unrestricted free agent. If the Jets don't re-sign Conklin, they will almost certainly look to bring in another starter rather than promote Ruckert, who has yet to score a touchdown in 41 NFL games since being selected in the third round of the 2022 NFL Draft. |

Malachi Corley Malachi Corley Plays sparingly as rookie
Thu, Jan 9, 2025, 1:56 PM
Corley caught three of six targets for 16 yards and rushed twice for 26 yards in nine games in 2024.
Analysis: Corley didn't see the field much as a rookie, and what would have been his best play was marred by a brain cramp, as he celebrated prematurely and dropped the ball before crossing the goal line on an 18-yard run against the Texans in Week 9. The 2024 third-round draft pick out of Western Kentucky was known for gaining yards after the catch in college, but Corley didn't get many chances to showcase those skills in his first NFL season. |

Xavier Gipson Xavier Gipson Regresses in second NFL season
Thu, Jan 9, 2025, 1:50 PM
Gipson finished the 2024 season with six catches for 39 yards and a touchdown on 10 targets. He also rushed once for five yards, in addition to returning 33 punts for 266 yards and 17 kickoffs for 489 yards.
Analysis: Gipson was a non-factor on offense and saw declines in both punt return and kickoff return yards compared to his rookie year despite leading the league in punts returned in 2024. The 23-year-old out of Stephen F. Austin has a decent chance of making the team in 2025 thanks to his special teams contributions, though Gipson will likely face competition in training camp. |

Isaiah Davis Isaiah Davis Scores two total TDs in rookie year
Thu, Jan 9, 2025, 1:42 PM
Davis finished his rookie season with 30 carries for 174 yards and a touchdown, as well as nine catches for 75 yards and a touchdown on 12 targets. He also returned nine kickoffs for 232 yards.
Analysis: Davis had just five touches on offense through the Week 12 bye, but the rookie fifth-round pick was more involved down the stretch while showing promising efficiency on the ground. With Breece Hall likely to reprise the lead role in 2025, Davis and fellow 2024 draft pick Braelon Allen will find it difficult to carve out enough touches to be meaningful fantasy contributors, barring a change to the status quo in the Jets backfield. |

Easop Winston Easop Winston Staying with Gang Green
Mon, Jan 6, 2025, 4:36 PM
The Jets signed Winston to a reserve/future contract Monday.
Analysis: Winston signed with the Jets' practice squad in late November after failing to make the Seahawks' 53-man roster before the season. The Washington State product has appeared in just two games since going undrafted in 2020, catching his only target for five yards. |
|
Zack Kuntz Zack Kuntz Staying with Jets
Mon, Jan 6, 2025, 4:22 PM
Kuntz signed a reserve/future contract with the Jets on Monday.
Analysis: The 25-year-old joined the Jets' practice squad after failing to make the 53-man roster in late August. Kuntz was elevated to New York's active roster for the Week 15 win over the Jaguars, failing to record a stat over seven total snaps. He's expected to compete for a depth spot in the Jets' tight end room throughout the offseason. |
|
Zach Evans Zach Evans Signs with Gang Green
Mon, Jan 6, 2025, 4:17 PM
The Jets signed Evans to a reserve/future contract Monday.
Analysis: The 23-year-old was added to the Jets' practice squad mid-December after being cut from the Rams' practice squad in late August. Evans, a 2023 sixth-round pick from Ole Miss, appeared in 10 games with the Rams during his rookie campaign, taking nine carries for 19 yards across 16 offensive snaps. |

Allen Lazard Allen Lazard Scores TD in likely Jets finale
Mon, Jan 6, 2025, 12:28 PM
Lazard caught all three of his targets for 71 yards and a touchdown in Sunday's 32-20 win over the Dolphins. He finishes the season with 37 catches for 530 yards and six touchdowns on 60 targets in 12 appearances.
Analysis: Lazard caught Aaron Rodgers' 501st regular-season touchdown pass on a 13-yard strike 59 seconds before halftime. The 29-year-old wide receiver scored five times through Week 6, but the Week 18 score was his only touchdown thereafter, as Lazard missed five games due to a chest injury and took a back seat after Davante Adams' arrival. The Jets almost certainly will utilize their out at the halfway point of Lazard's four-year, $44 million contract this offseason, as he hasn't come close to justifying that deal. |

Braelon Allen Braelon Allen Fades after strong start to season
Mon, Jan 6, 2025, 12:22 PM
Allen rushed four times for 15 yards while catching two of three targets for eight yards in Sunday's 32-20 win over the Dolphins. He finishes his rookie season with 92 carries for 334 yards and two touchdowns, as well as 19 catches for 148 yards and one touchdown on 27 targets.
Analysis: Allen won the top backup job behind Breece Hall in training camp and showed promise early, with two of the fourth-round draft pick's three total touchdowns coming Week 2 against the Titans. The rookie wore down and averaged just 3.1 yards per carry from Week 5 onward, and by the end of the year, 2024 fifth-round draft pick Isaiah Davis was splitting backup duties with Allen. The crowded nature of the Jets backfield will make it difficult for Allen to shine in 2025, though the 235-pound running back's big frame makes him a strong candidate for goal-line work. |

Tyler Conklin Tyler Conklin Catches Rodgers' 500th TD pass
Sun, Jan 5, 2025, 9:52 PM
Conklin caught two of three targets for 16 yards and a touchdown in Sunday's 32-20 win over the Dolphins. He finishes the season with 51 catches for 449 yards and four touchdowns on 72 targets.
Analysis: The highlight of Conklin's season came in the finale, as he was the recipient of Aaron Rodgers' 500th career regular-season touchdown pass on a five-yard score in the second quarter. That was Conklin's fourth receiving touchdown of the season, establishing a new career high for the 29-year-old tight end. He will be an unrestricted free agent this offseason after four years in Minnesota and three with the Jets. |

Garrett Wilson Garrett Wilson Quietly posts career year
Sun, Jan 5, 2025, 9:38 PM
Wilson caught four of five targets for 51 yards and rushed once for no gain in Sunday's 32-20 win over the Dolphins. He finishes the 2024 season with 101 catches for 1,104 receiving yards and seven touchdowns on 154 targets.
Analysis: Wilson didn't account for any of Aaron Rodgers' four touchdown passes, but the third of their four connections accounted for Wilson's 100th catch of the season. In addition to setting a new career high in receptions, Wilson exceeded his previous career high by one receiving yard. Wilson's seven receiving scores matched his combined total from 2022 and 2023, so Wilson made incremental improvements despite the Jets' inconsistency on offense. The 2022 first-round draft pick remains under contract with the Jets for 2025. |

Davante Adams Davante Adams Fifth straight 1,000-yard season
Sun, Jan 5, 2025, 9:31 PM
Adams caught six of 12 targets for 88 yards and a touchdown in Sunday's 32-20 win over the Dolphins. He finishes the season with 85 catches for 1,063 yards and eight touchdowns in 14 games split between the Raiders (three) and Jets (11).
Analysis: Adams caught the third of Aaron Roders' four touchdown passes in what could be both players' final game with the Jets. The questions about whether Rodgers will return to the NFL at all don't apply to Adams, and with five consecutive 1,000-yard receiving seasons under his belt, the 32-year-old wideout is primed to remain a fantasy force wherever he plays in 2025. Adams has a potential out in his contract this offseason, which the Jets could opt to utilize rather than committing to the two years and $71.8 million remaining on his deal. |

Breece Hall Breece Hall Posts 1,359 scrimmage yards in 2024
Sun, Jan 5, 2025, 9:31 PM
Hall rushed 12 times for 57 yards while catching three of five targets for 15 yards and a touchdown in Sunday's 32-20 win over the Dolphins. He also ran in a two-point conversion.
Analysis: Hall caught a six-yard touchdown pass from Aaron Rodgers to cap the scoring with 2:30 remaining in the fourth quarter. That was the 503rd -- and possibly, final -- touchdown pass of Rodgers' NFL career. Hall finishes the 2024 season with 876 rushing yards and five touchdowns on 209 carries, along with 57 catches for 483 receiving yards and three receiving scores on 74 targets. He's likely to return as the lead back for the Jets in 2025, ahead of 2024 draft picks Braelon Allen and Isaiah Davis. |

Aaron Rodgers Aaron Rodgers Four TDs in possible swan song
Sun, Jan 5, 2025, 7:54 PM
Rodgers completed 23 of 36 passes for 274 yards, four touchdowns and one interception in Sunday's 32-20 win over the Dolphins. He finishes the season with 3,897 passing yards and a 28:11 TD:INT.
Analysis: Rodgers' first touchdown pass was the 500th of his NFL career. That one was a five-yard pass to Tyler Conklin in the second quarter, and Rodgers added a 13-yard touchdown pass to Allen Lazard in the final minute of the first half. Rodgers tacked on fourth-quarter touchdowns of four yards to Davante Adams and six yards to Breece Hall, as the fifth quarterback in NFL history to throw 500 regular-season touchdown passes raised his career total to 503. It's possible this was the final game of Rodgers' illustrious career, and even more likely his final game with the Jets. Per Rich Cimini of ESPN.com, a reflective Rodgers didn't provide definitive word on his future after this rare sweet spot capped a mostly bitter season. |

Tyler Conklin Tyler Conklin Active in Week 18
Sun, Jan 5, 2025, 2:12 PM
Conklin (calf) is active for Sunday's Week 18 matchup against the Dolphins.
Analysis: The veteran tight end got in only a limited Friday practice this past week, but he'll be available in his usual No. 1 tight-end role versus the Dolphins as the Jets aim to play spoiler for Miami's thin playoff hopes. Conklin needs only one reception to hit the 50-catch mark for the fourth straight season, including a third consecutive in as many Jets seasons. |

Tyler Conklin Tyler Conklin Questionable after limited practice
Fri, Jan 3, 2025, 3:36 PM
Conklin (calf) is listed as questionable for Sunday's game against the Dolphins, Marcel Louis-Jacques of ESPN.com reports.
Analysis: Conklin mustered a limited practice Friday after being a non-participant Wednesday and Thursday to give himself a shot at suiting up. If he's unable to play Sunday, Conklin would finish the season with 49 catches for 433 yards and three touchdowns on 69 targets. Jeremy Ruckert would be the top candidate for increased playing time in that scenario. |

Tyler Conklin Tyler Conklin Not seen at Thursday's practice
Thu, Jan 2, 2025, 12:09 PM
Conklin (calf) wasn't spotted at practice Thursday, Rich Cimini of ESPN.com reports.
Analysis: Conklin also was deemed a non-participant Wednesday, which gives him one more opportunity to practice ahead of Sunday's season finale against the Dolphins. If Conklin is limited or out this weekend, Jeremy Ruckert and Kenny Yeboah would be candidates to see added Week 18 tight end snaps and targets for the Jets. |

Malachi Corley Malachi Corley Past elbow injury
Wed, Jan 1, 2025, 3:32 PM
Corley (elbow) was a full participant in Wednesday's practice estimation, David Furones of the South Florida Sun Sentinel reports.
Analysis: Corley sustained an elbow injury in the Jets' Week 17 loss to the Bills, but him being listed as a full participant in the team's walkthrough practice Wednesday suggests he's already moved past the issue. The 2024 third-round pick from Western Kentucky has appeared in just nine games this season, recording five touches for 82 yards over 80 offensive snaps. He's expected to serve as a depth piece in the Jets' wide receiver room for the Week 18 matchup against the Dolphins. |

Tyler Conklin Tyler Conklin Misses practice with calf issue
Wed, Jan 1, 2025, 3:23 PM
Conklin (calf) didn't practice Wednesday, David Furones of the South Florida Sun Sentinel reports.
Analysis: Conklin is coming off arguably his best game of the season, as he caught all eight targets for 57 yards and a touchdown Week 17 versus Buffalo. The veteran tight end appears to have picked up a calf injury, however, and he'll likely need to return to practice by the end of the week in order to be able to suit up in the Jets' season finale Sunday versus Miami. If Conklin's calf injury ultimately prevents him from playing, Jeremy Ruckert and Kenny Yeboah would both be likely to get more offensive snaps against the Dolphins. |
