Breece Hall Breece Hall Puts in full practice Thu, Sep 28, 2023, 4:09 PM Hall (knee) was a full participant in Thursday's practice. Analysis: After tearing his ACL in addition to suffering a meniscus injury last October, Hall has made a clean recovery and has gained clearance ahead of each of the Jets' first three games by turning in at least one full practice every week. He appears to be getting healthier as the weeks roll along, as Thursday marks the first time that he's put in a full practice before the Jets' third session of a given week. Whether that translates to an increased workload Sunday against the Chiefs is uncertain, but Hall's playing time seems to be on an upward trajectory. After logging 32 percent of the offensive snaps in both of the Jets' first two games, Hall took on a 48 percent share in this past Sunday's loss to the Patriots.
Breece Hall Breece Hall Set for limited practice Wednesday Wed, Sep 27, 2023, 11:08 AM Hall (knee) will be a limited participant at practice Wednesday, Ethan B. Greenberg of the Jets' official site reports. Analysis: The Jets continue to manage Hall's practice reps, but if the last few weeks are any indication, the running should practice fully by Friday before gaining clearance to play against the Chiefs on Sunday. In the Jets' Week 3 loss to the Patriots, Hall logged 31 snaps while rushing 12 times for 18 yards and catching one of his two targets for nine yards. Meanwhile, fellow back Dalvin Cook was on the field for 16 snaps, carrying eight times for 18 yards and catching all three of his targets for 11 yards.
Mecole Hardman Mecole Hardman Plays two snaps in Week 3 Sun, Sep 24, 2023, 10:27 PM Hardman played only two snaps on offense and wasn't targeted in Sunday's 15-10 loss to the Patriots. Analysis: Hardman has barely seen the field while being targeted only once through three games with the Jets. He'll be motivated to deliver against his former team when the Chiefs come to town in Week 4, but Hardman may not get many opportunities to do so.
C.J. Uzomah C.J. Uzomah Makes first catch of season Sun, Sep 24, 2023, 10:16 PM Uzomah caught his only target for nine yards in Sunday's 15-10 loss to the Patriots. Analysis: Uzomah has been targeted only once through three games, while Tyler Conklin has nine catches on 13 targets heading into a Week 4 home game against the Chiefs. With Conklin dominating targets among the team's tight ends, Uzomah has been a non-factor in the passing game, and that's unlikely to change moving forward.
Michael Carter Michael Carter One touch in Week 3 loss Sun, Sep 24, 2023, 10:07 PM Carter didn't have a rushing attempt and caught his only target for three yards in Sunday's 15-10 loss to the Patriots. Analysis: Carter continues to work as the clear No. 3 running back behind Breece Hall and Dalvin Cook, who had 18 rushing yards apiece on 12 and eight carries, respectively. Between Carter's lack of playing time and the Jets' collective struggles on offense, Carter won't be a recommended fantasy option in Week 4 against Kansas City.
Randall Cobb Randall Cobb Hail Mary clanks off hand Sun, Sep 24, 2023, 9:52 PM Cobb caught one of two targets for 12 yards in Sunday's 15-10 loss to the Patriots. Analysis: Cobb finally made his first catch as a member of the Jets after going two games without a target. He then had a chance to be the hero on the game's final play as Zach Wilson's Hail Mary throw deflected right in Cobb's direction, but Cobb had the ball clank off his arm rather than turn into a game-winning, 54-yard touchdown.
Tyler Conklin Tyler Conklin Ties for second with five targets Sun, Sep 24, 2023, 9:47 PM Conklin caught three of five targets for 26 yards in Sunday's 15-10 loss to the Patriots. Analysis: Conklin tied Allen Lazard for second behind Garrett Wilson in both catches and targets, but New York's offense struggled once again as Zach Wilson threw for just 157 yards. After being limited to one catch for two yards in the season opener, Conklin has eight catches for 76 yards in two subsequent games, and he should remain the Jets' top pass-catching tight end in Week 4 against the Chiefs.
Nick Bawden Nick Bawden Scores first career TD Sun, Sep 24, 2023, 9:33 PM Bawden scored a one-yard touchdown on his only carry in Sunday's 15-10 loss to the Patriots. Analysis: Bawden scored his first NFL touchdown in the fourth quarter. The fullback has New York's only rushing touchdown through three weeks in 2023, while running backs Breece Hall, Dalvin Cook and Michael Carter have yet to find the end zone.
Allen Lazard Allen Lazard Makes three catches in loss Sun, Sep 24, 2023, 7:00 PM Lazard caught three of five targets for 39 yards in Sunday's 15-10 loss to the Patriots. Analysis: Lazard finished nine receiving yards shy of Garrett Wilson's team-best total while tying Tyler Conklin for second behind Wilson in both targets and catches. Despite being locked in as the Jets' No. 2 wide receiver, Lazard has failed to reach 50 yards in a game heading into a Week 4 home game against the Chiefs.
Dalvin Cook Dalvin Cook Another forgettable showing Sun, Sep 24, 2023, 6:56 PM Cook rushed eight times for 18 yards and caught all three of his targets for 11 yards in Sunday's 15-10 loss to the Patriots. Analysis: Cook got four fewer carries than Breece Hall, who also mustered a meager output with 18 rushing yards. New York's top two running backs should continue to split carries in Week 4 against the Chiefs, but the Jets' entire offense is in disarray with quarterback Zach Wilson struggling and the offensive line underperforming in both run-blocking and pass protection. Cook has just 58 rushing yards on 25 carries (2.3 YPC) through three games with the Jets.
Zach Wilson Zach Wilson Struggles continue in Week 3 loss Sun, Sep 24, 2023, 6:19 PM Wilson completed 18 of 36 passes for 157 yards while rushing once for one yard in Sunday's 15-10 loss to the Patriots. Analysis: Wilson threw for only 29 yards in the first half as the Jets took a 10-3 deficit into the locker room. He came alive with 79 passing yards on a fourth-quarter touchdown drive capped by a one-yard Nick Bawden touchdown run, but Wilson failed to produce a first down on New York's next two possessions. He got one last chance as the Jets got the ball with 16 seconds left, and Wilson almost pulled off the miracle comeback, as his Hail Mary on the final play bounced off Randall Cobb's hand after a 29-yard pass to Garrett Wilson and spike. Wilson showed some flashes of potential with the Jets in desperation mode in the fourth quarter, but he was putrid before then. Despite Wilson's struggles, coach Robert Saleh said after the game that the 2021 second overall draft pick will remain the starting quarterback in Week 4 against the Chiefs, per Zack Rosenblatt of The Athletic.
Garrett Wilson Garrett Wilson Five catches in Week 3 loss Sun, Sep 24, 2023, 4:49 PM Wilson caught five of nine targets for 48 yards in Sunday's 15-10 loss to the Patriots. Analysis: The majority of Wilson's yardage came on a 29-yard catch on the game's third-to-last play, after which the Jets spiked the ball with one second left to set up a Hail Mary that bounced off Randall Cobb's hand. Zach Wilson threw for just 157 yards, but at least Garrett led the team in targets, catches and receiving yards. The second-year wide receiver has also accounted for two of the Jets' three offensive touchdowns through three weeks, and Wilson should continue to work as the top option in New York's underwhelming passing game in Week 4 against the Chiefs.
Breece Hall Breece Hall Bottled up in Week 3 loss Sun, Sep 24, 2023, 4:44 PM Hall rushed 12 times for 18 yards and caught one of two targets for nine yards in Sunday's 15-10 loss to the Patriots. Analysis: After the Jets mustered just one first down on their first five drives, Hall picked up two by himself on the ground on their final possession of the first half, including a six-yard run on 4th and 1 to set up a field goal for New York's first points of the game. Outside of that drive, the Jets' offensive line didn't open up many holes for Hall or Dalvin Cook, who rushed for 18 yards on eight carries. Outside of two long Hall runs in Week 1, neither running back has mustered much heading into a Week 4 matchup with the Chiefs.
Breece Hall Breece Hall Cleared for Week 3 Fri, Sep 22, 2023, 3:27 PM Hall (knee) logged a full practice Friday and doesn't carry an injury designation into Sunday's game against the Patriots. Analysis: Hall's limited participation Wednesday and Thursday was due to load management on his surgically repaired knee. After following the same practice pattern last week, Hall was listed as questionable against Dallas, but he avoided a designation this time around. Hall got just four carries against the Cowboys as the Jets abandoned the run after falling behind early, but New York's expected to lean on the ground game more heavily in this AFC East rivalry game.
Breece Hall Breece Hall Logs another limited practice Thu, Sep 21, 2023, 3:40 PM Hall (knee) remained a limited participant at practice Thursday. Analysis: If Hall follows his practice pattern from last week, he'll return to a full session Friday to clear up any concern about his availability for Sunday's game against the Patriots. In any case, the Jets' final injury report of the week will clarify whether Hall -- who has played in both of the team's first two games after recovering from last season's torn ACL -- approaches Sunday's contest listed as questionable or free of a Week 3 injury designation.
Breece Hall Breece Hall Limited in practice, as usual Wed, Sep 20, 2023, 11:33 AM Hall (knee) was a limited participant in practice Wednesday, Zack Rosenblatt of The Athletic reports. Analysis: Hall's practice reps have been capped all season, with the Jets taking a cautious approach with his return from the torn ACL he suffered last October. He suited up for both of the team's first two games but saw his touches dip from 11 in Week 1 to four in Week 2 as the Jets fell behind early in Dallas and abandoned the run. If the Jets are able to follow a more positive game script this Sunday against the Patriots, Hall should see his opportunities tick back up.
Garrett Wilson Garrett Wilson No injury concerns Mon, Sep 18, 2023, 2:57 PM Coach Robert Saleh said Monday that Wilson (undisclosed) has been cleared of any injuries following Sunday's 30-10 loss to the Cowboys. Analysis: Wilson had the wind knocked out of him in the fourth quarter of Sunday's loss, but he didn't sustain any form of serious injury. He caught two of eight targets for 83 yards and a touchdown prior to leaving the field. With another tough defense on deck Week 3 when the Jets take on the Patriots, though, Wilson could be primed for another matchup in which Zach Wilson struggles to get the ball in his hands consistently.
Randall Cobb Randall Cobb Zero catches through two games Mon, Sep 18, 2023, 10:27 AM Cobb failed to bring in his only target in Sunday's 30-10 loss to the Cowboys. Analysis: Through two games with the Jets, Cobb has two targets and no catches. Without Aaron Rodgers (Achilles) throwing him the ball, Cobb doesn't seem to have enough left in the tank at age 33 to meaningfully contribute.
Mecole Hardman Mecole Hardman Records first catch with Jets Mon, Sep 18, 2023, 10:24 AM Hardman caught his only target for six yards in Sunday's 30-10 loss to the Cowboys. Analysis: After playing zero offensive snaps in his first game with the Jets last week, Hardman recorded his first reception with the team in Week 2. When asked about the possibility of playing Hardman more after the loss to Dallas, head coach Robert Saleh said "it's something to look at," per Zack Rosenblatt of The Athletic. Hardman's speed could provide a spark for a Jets offense that's desperate for production after losing starting quarterback Aaron Rodgers (Achilles) for the season, but the former Kansas City wide receiver will be tough to trust in fantasy unless he earns a larger role.
Allen Lazard Allen Lazard Catches two passes in Week 2 Mon, Sep 18, 2023, 10:17 AM Lazard caught two of four targets for 23 yards in Sunday's 30-10 loss to the Cowboys. Analysis: Lazard finished third on the team in both targets and receiving yards behind Garrett Wilson (undisclosed) and tight end Tyler Conklin. Wilson provided most of New York's offense with a 68-yard touchdown catch and is expected to be available in Week 3 against the Patriots after having the wind knocked out of him late in the game. While Aaron Rodgers (Achilles) has a history of keeping numerous receivers fantasy-relevant simultaneously, the same can't be said of Zach Wilson, so Lazard's role as a starter on the outside won't necessarily earn him significant target volume or fantasy production.
