Isaiah Williams Isaiah Williams Goes for 30 yards in defeat Sun, Dec 28, 2025, 8:21 PM Williams caught four of five targets for 30 yards in the Jets' loss to the Patriots on Sunday. Analysis: Williams' five targets were second on the team behind Adonai Mitchell's nine versus New England. However, it was John Metchie who led the team in receiving with 41 yards on three grabs. Williams has become a fixture in three-wide sets for New York and now has 20 catches for 169 yards on 29 targets, with all of that production coming since Week 8. Still, Williams doesn't possess any sort of fantasy ceiling in this broken Jets offense.
John Metchie John Metchie Team-best 41 receiving yards Sun, Dec 28, 2025, 5:42 PM Metchie caught all three of his targets for 41 yards in Sunday's 42-10 loss to the Patriots. Analysis: Metchie led the Jets in receiving yards as Brady Cook threw for only 152 yards in another lopsided loss. Cook has just one touchdown pass in four games (three starts) as the team's starting quarterback, so expectations should remain tempered for Metchie and the rest of the Jets' passing game in Week 18 against the Bills.
Adonai Mitchell Adonai Mitchell Catches three of nine targets Sun, Dec 28, 2025, 5:39 PM Mitchell caught three of nine targets for 41 yards in Sunday's 42-10 loss to the Patriots. Analysis: Mitchell has 55 targets in seven games with the Jets but has caught only 24 of them. He has 320 receiving yards and two touchdowns since coming over from the Colts in a midseason trade. Brady Cook has a 1:7 TD:INT in four games (three starts) since taking over as the Jets' starting quarterback, so Mitchell could be held back by poor quarterback play again in Week 18 against the Bills.
Breece Hall Breece Hall Downplays knee issue Sun, Dec 28, 2025, 3:28 PM Hall said after Sunday's 42-10 loss to the Patriots that his knee is fine and the running back noted that he doesn't think he'll need testing on it, Rich Cimini of ESPN.com reports. Analysis: That said, with the Jets well out of playoff contention, the team will likely err on the side of caution unless Hall is deemed 100 percent ahead of Week 18 action. The Jets are slated to close out their 2025 season next weekend with a road contest against the Bills. Hall rushed 14 times for 111 yards and a touchdown while catching two of three targets for 18 yards prior to hurting his knee, highlighted by a 59-yard touchdown run on the first play of the fourth quarter. He raised his season total to 1,065 rushing yards, becoming the first 1,000-yard rusher for the Jets since Chris Ivory in 2015.
Isaiah Davis Isaiah Davis Done for day Sun, Dec 28, 2025, 2:50 PM Davis (concussion) has been ruled out for the rest of Sunday's contest against New England. Analysis: Davis exited the contest after suffering a blow to the head, and his day has now officially come to an end due to a concussion. With Davis now in concussion protocol, it's possible his season has come to an end with just one game remaining.
Breece Hall Breece Hall Hurts knee Sunday Sun, Dec 28, 2025, 2:50 PM Hall was forced out of Sunday's game against the Patriots with a knee injury. Analysis: Before his exit from the contest, Hall carried 14 times for 111 yards and a TD and caught two of his three targets for 18 yards. Meanhile, Isaiah Davis was ruled out of the remainder of the contest due to a concussion, leaving Khalil Herbert and Kene Nwangwu to handle the Jets' RB carries as Sunday's game winds down.
Isaiah Davis Isaiah Davis Being evaluated for concussion Sun, Dec 28, 2025, 2:36 PM Davis is being evaluated for a concussion in Sunday's contest against the Patriots. Analysis: Davis suffered a head injury in the second half, and his status for the rest of the game is now in question. In his absence, Khalil Herbert will stand to operate as the team's No. 2 option at running back behind starter Breece Hall.
Tyrod Taylor Tyrod Taylor Inactive Sunday Sun, Dec 28, 2025, 10:42 AM Taylor (knee/personal) is inactive for Sunday's game against the Patriots. Analysis: As Rich Cimini of ESPN.com notes, Taylor didn't practice Friday due to a personal reason. In the veteran signal-caller's absence Sunday, practice-squad elevation Hendon Hooker is slated to back up starting QB Brady Cook.
Hendon Hooker Hendon Hooker Elevated Saturday Sat, Dec 27, 2025, 3:51 PM Hooker was elevated from the practice squad to the Jets' active roster Saturday. Analysis: The 2023 third-round pick from Tennessee signed with the Jets' practice squad on Dec. 18 and has already joined the active roster. Hooker appeared in three games with the Lions in 2024, completing six of nine pass attempts for 62 yards. He's expected to operate as the Jets' No. 3 quarterback during Sunday's matchup against the Patriots, playing behind Brady Cook and Tyrod Taylor.
Tyrod Taylor Tyrod Taylor Set to be Jets' QB2 in Week 17 Fri, Dec 26, 2025, 3:08 PM Taylor (knee/personal) doesn't have an injury designation for Sunday's game against New England and will work as the Jets' No. 2 quarterback, Rich Cimini of ESPN.com reports. Analysis: Taylor was deemed a limited participant in practice Wednesday and Thursday due to a lingering knee issue. He downgraded to a non-participant Friday, but the Jets labeled the reason as "personal," and Taylor has been cleared to suit up against the Patriots. For the second straight week, he'll work as the backup QB behind rookie Brady Cook.
Mason Taylor Mason Taylor Won't play Sunday Fri, Dec 26, 2025, 10:40 AM Taylor (neck) has been ruled out for Sunday's game against the Patriots. Analysis: Taylor, who last saw game action Week 14, thus will target a potential return to action in the Jets' season finale next weekend when the team faces the Bills in Week 18. In Taylor's continued absence, Jeremy Ruckert, Stone Smartt and Jelani Woods will handle TE duties versus New England. During New York's Week 16 loss to New Orleans, Smartt was the busiest of the trio, catching all five of his targets for 34 yards, while Ruckert caught two of his three targets for 14 yards and Woods didn't record a catch (on two targets).
Mason Taylor Mason Taylor Listed as non-participant Thu, Dec 25, 2025, 4:08 PM Taylor (neck) is listed as a non-participant on Thursday's practice estimate, Rich Cimini of ESPN.com reports. Analysis: The Jets did not hold an official practice session Thursday, but Taylor is nonetheless certainly trending in the wrong direction for Week 17. He's already missed two straight games and was similarly unable to practice Wednesday. Taylor will have one more opportunity to retake the practice field ahead of Sunday's matchup against the Patriots.
Mason Taylor Mason Taylor Still not practicing Wed, Dec 24, 2025, 5:09 PM Taylor (neck) didn't practice Wednesday, Rich Cimini of ESPN.com reports. Analysis: Taylor has missed two straight games, and a 'DNP' on Wednesday isn't a good sign as Sunday's contest against New England approaches. If he remains sidelined this weekend, Jeremy Ruckert, Stone Smartt and Jelani Woods would handle the Jets' Week 17 TE duties, as they did in the team's Week 16 loss to New Orleans, a game which Smartt was the busiest of the trio, catching all five of his targets for 34 yards.
Justin Fields Justin Fields Officially placed on IR Wed, Dec 24, 2025, 4:33 PM The Jets placed Fields (knee) on injured reserve Wednesday, Susanna Weir of the team's official site reports. Analysis: Head coach Aaron Glenn announced Tuesday that Fields would be shut down for the rest of the season due to a knee injury, so the latter's placement on IR was a procedural move to open a spot on the 53-man roster for safety Christopher Smith. Fields posted a 2-7 record across nine starts this season, completing 62.7 percent of his passes for 1,259 yards, seven touchdowns, one interception and 27 sacks while turning 71 carries into 383 yards (5.4 YPC) and four scores. Fields will enter the second year of his two-year, $40 million contract in 2026, though it's unclear whether he'll be part of the Jets' future plans.
Tyrod Taylor Tyrod Taylor Limited to open Week 17 prep Wed, Dec 24, 2025, 4:03 PM Taylor (knee) was a limited participant in Wednesday's practice, Rich Cimini of ESPN.com reports. Analysis: Head coach Aaron Glenn told reporters Tuesday that Justin Fields (knee) would be shut down for the rest of the season, so Taylor will serve as the Jets' backup quarterback against the Patriots on Sunday (assuming he's healthy) while Brady Cook starts in a third straight game. Taylor would avoid an injury designation for Week 17 if he's able to practice fully by Friday.
Justin Fields Justin Fields Shut down for season Tue, Dec 23, 2025, 4:28 PM Jets head coach Aaron Glenn said Tuesday that Fields (knee) is set to be placed on injured reserve. Analysis: The transaction is likely to be made official Wednesday, when New York will likely add another player to its 53-man roster in a corresponding move. Fields hadn't been available for any of the Jets' last three games, and though the quarterback resumed practicing in a limited fashion last week, the Jets opted to shut him down after his condition hadn't improved as quickly as the team had hoped. The 26-year-old is under contract through next season, but the Jets are unlikely to view him as anything more than a backup option heading into 2026 following an unproductive run as the team's starter over the first 11 weeks of 2025. Over his nine appearances, Fields completed 62.7 percent of his passes for 6.2 yards per attempt and a 7:1 TD:INT to go with 383 yards (5.4 per carry) and four scores on the ground, but he lost three fumbles and took 27 sacks on his 231 dropbacks.
Stone Smartt Stone Smartt Five receptions in Week 16 Mon, Dec 22, 2025, 1:41 PM Smartt recorded five catches for 34 yards on five targets in Sunday's 29-6 loss to the Saints. Analysis: Smartt took the field for 20 of the Jets' 66 snaps on offense, with his 30 percent snap share placing him behind Jeremy Ruckert (67 percent) and ahead of Jelani Woods (20 percent) among New York tight ends. Though Smartt's five catches ranked first on the team, he's nonetheless likely to see his role in the passing game fade in Week 17 against the Patriots if top tight end Mason Taylor (neck) is able to play following a two-game absence.
Arian Smith Arian Smith No catches in Week 16 Mon, Dec 22, 2025, 1:38 PM Smith failed to haul in his lone target while playing seven of the Jets' 66 snaps on offense in Sunday's 29-6 loss to the Saints. Analysis: The rookie fourth-round pick has suited up for each of the Jets' last three games but remains an afterthought on offense. He's played single-digit snaps in each of those contests and owns an unremarkable 6-47-0 receiving line on 13 targets through 14 appearances on the campaign.
Andrew Beck Andrew Beck No touches in Week 16 Mon, Dec 22, 2025, 1:37 PM Beck didn't record a target or carry while playing five of the Jets' 66 snaps on offense in Sunday's 29-6 loss to the Saints. Analysis: Beck recorded two touches in the Jets' Week 15 loss to the Jaguars, but he wasn't a factor in the box score in Sunday's contest and saw more playing time on special teams than on offense. For the season, the 29-year-old fullback has carried once for five yards to go with five catches for 43 yards and a touchdown on seven targets over 15 appearances.
Khalil Herbert Khalil Herbert Limited to special teams in Week 16 Mon, Dec 22, 2025, 12:52 PM Herbert logged all 13 of his snaps on special teams in Sunday's 29-6 loss to the Saints. Analysis: Herbert has suited up for each of the Jets' last three games, but aside from playing a handful of snaps on offense in a blowout loss to Jacksonville in Week 15, he's been used exclusively on special teams. Breece Hall and Isaiah Davis should continue to handle nearly all of the available reps at running back in the Jets' final two games of the season.
