New York Jets WR Adonai Mitchell did not have a reception on three targets in Week 18 against the Buffalo Bills.
Huddle Up: While Mitchell didn't have a great finish to the season, he still ended up with a career-high 33 receptions, 71 targets and 453 yards, while scoring his first two NFL touchdowns. He really blossomed coming over from Indianapolis to New York in the middle of the season. Remember, he was Shane Steichen's doghouse after dropping the ball at the 1-yard line, prior to reaching the end zone, in a game against the Los Angeles Rams, costing his team a win. That would have been his first NFL TD, too, so that really stung. He found a home with the Jets, and he could be part of the long-term play. However, in 2026, he is still only worth a look as a late-round flier unless the Jets severely upgrade the quarterbacks' room. Plus, Garrett Wilson will be returning, and that will bump down AD's targets and production, too.

New York Jets WR John Metchie III ended up with three receptions for 20 yards on four targets in Week 18 against the Buffalo Bills.
Huddle Up: Metchie ended up with 29 receptions for 256 yards and two touchdowns across nine games since coming over in a trade from the Philadelphia Eagles. He could become part of the plans in 2026, along with fellow in-season addition Adonai Mitchell. Remember, though, Garrett Wilson should be back and healthy, too, and the team could also add personnel in free agency or the draft, too, so we'll re-visit Metchie's fantasy outlook in the summer.

New York Jets WR Isaiah Williams posted team highs with five receptions and 24 yards on seven targets in Week 18 against the Buffalo Bills, while posting five kick returns for 142 yards.
Huddle Up: Williams emerged as a strong kick and punt return option for the Jets, and he was valuable in fantasy leagues which rewarded individual return yardage. Heading into 2026, remember Williams in specialty fantasy formats.

New York Jets QB Justin Fields is expected to be released this offseason if the team is not able to find a trade. The Jets will have $22 million in dead money on their salary cap if they move on from Fields.
Huddle Up: Fields has had multiple chances to start since entering the NFL, so he will likely have to settle for a backup job next season. Fantasy players can monitor his status during the offseason, but he is unlikely to be a starting option any fantasy league.

New York Jets TE Mason Taylor (neck) was placed on the Reserve/Injured list Saturday, Jan. 3.
Huddle Up: Taylor played well at times this season and will likely enter the offseason as the leading candidate for the tight end job next season. He should have a decent role in the passing game but will probably be a No. 2 tight end in fantasy leagues.

New York Jets RB Isaiah Davis (concussion) was placed on the Reserve/Injured list Saturday, Jan. 3.
Huddle Up: Davis should be ready for the start of offseason workouts and could be a candidate for the starting running back job next season depending on that the team does at the position. He has a chance to become at least a No. 3 running back depending on his workload.

New York Jets RB Breece Hall (knee) has been ruled out of the Week 18 game.
Huddle Up: Kene Nwangwu and Khalil Herbert may share playing time at running back this week with Hall unavailable. Fantasy players may want to look for other options and avoid all Jets running backs this week. Hall is scheduled to be entering free agency this offseason and should be a starting option for a team in 2026. He will likely be at least a No. 3 running back in leagues.

New York Jets WR Adonai Mitchell enters Week 18 against the Buffalo Bills with 301 receiving yards on 24 receptions in seven games since coming over from the Indianapolis Colts. He needs 95 receiving yards to surpass the injured WR Garrett Wilson, who hasn't caught a pass since Oct. 12, for the team lead.
Huddle Up: Mitchell has taken advantage of a second chance in New York, showing he has the ability to play regularly in this league. He could be a vital part of the Gang Green offensive attack in 2026. However, at this point, he'd only be worth a look as a late-round flyer in redraft leagues.

New York Jets TE Mason Taylor (neck) has 44 receptions this season, and he will end up as the team's top receiver despite missing his fourth consecutive game in Week 18.
Huddle Up: Taylor ended up with what will be a team-leading 44 receptions on 65 targets with 369 yards and one touchdown in his rookie season. He was limited to 13 games, and he led the team because WR Garrett Wilson missed a good chunk of the season due to injuries himself. However, Taylor looks like a valuable cog in the Jets' offense going forward. In long-term dynasty leagues he is a strong option. He'll be worth a look as a flyer in the late rounds on draft day in 2026, as he has a lot of upside. Hopefully the Jets have an upgrade at the QB position to further unlock his skills.

Updating a previous report, New York Jets RB Breece Hall (knee) was limited during practice Friday, Jan. 2, and is listed as questionable for Week 18.
Huddle Up: Hall should be available for the game, but fantasy players will need to check the inactive list for his official status. He should see plenty of touches if he plays and will be a No. 2 running back or flex option in leagues.

New York Jets TE Mason Taylor (neck) won't play in Week 18 against the Buffalo Bills.
Huddle Up: Taylor emerged as a reliable receiving target at the tight end spot for the Jets in 2025. How his neck heals will determine his exact placement among tight ends in the 2026 ranks.

New York Jets RB Breece Hall (knee) was limited during practice Thursday, Jan. 1.
Huddle Up: Hall appears to be making progress in his recovery and has a good chance to be in uniform for Week 18. He will receive most of the work at running back if he is active and can be a No. 2 running back or flex option in leagues.

New York Jets TE Mason Taylor (neck) did not participate in practice Thursday, Jan. 1.
Huddle Up: Taylor has missed the last few games because of the injury and seems to be on track to miss another game unless he makes significant progress. Fantasy players should look for other options and avoid Taylor.

New York Jets RB Isaiah Davis (concussion) did not participate in practice Thursday, Jan. 1.
Huddle Up: Davis still has a few days to make progress in his recovery, but he seems to be questionable at best for the regular season finale. Fantasy players should have better options available and can avoid Davis.

New York Jets WR Adonai Mitchell registered three receptions for 22 yards on a game-high nine targets in Week 17 against the New England Patriots.
Huddle Up: Mitchell has three or more receptions in three consecutive games. He'll look to keep that streak going in the regular-season finale at Buffalo in Week 18.

New York Jets WR John Metchie III had three receptions for a team-high 41 yards on three targets in Week 17 against the New England Patriots.
Huddle Up: It was a tough day all around for the Jets, but at least Metchie didn't totally leave fantasy managers and DFS players totally empty-handed. He and the Jets wrap up the season in Week 18 at Buffalo.

New York Jets QB Brady Cook completed 19-of-33 passes for 152 yards, no touchdowns and one interception in Week 17 against the New England Patriots, while running twice for one yard.
Huddle Up: The Jets will wrap up their season at Highmark Stadium in Buffalo in Week 18, and that's not a great matchup for a young quarterback in the elements, as his audition for a job in 2026 continues.

New York Jets RB Breece Hall rushed 14 times for 111 yards and a touchdown in the Week 17 game against the New England Patriots, while adding two receptions for 18 yards on three targets before leaving the game late due to a knee injury.
Huddle Up: It's uncertain if Hall suffered a more serious injury, or it was simply a nick, and he was removed with the game well out of hand. We'll know a lot more on his status for Week 18 when the team resumes practice on Wednesday.

New York Jets QB Tyrod Taylor (knee, personal) did not participate in practice Friday, Dec. 26, but is not on the injury report for Week 17.
Huddle Up: Taylor will be the No. 2 quarterback for the Jets this week and is unlikely to play again this season unless Brady Cook suffers an injury. Taylor can be dropped in fantasy leagues, and Cook should not be a starting fantasy option.

New York Jets TE Mason Taylor (neck) is out for Week 17.
Huddle Up: Jeremy Ruckert has had two receptions for fewer than 20 yards in four straight games. He's not an option in fantasy against the New England Patriots.

New York Jets TE Mason Taylor (neck) did not participate in practice Wednesday, Dec. 24.
Huddle Up: Taylor has been sidelined for a few weeks because of the injury and could miss another game if he does not take part in practice at some point this week. Fantasy players can keep an eye on the situation but should look for other options to use in their lineup.

New York Jets QB Justin Fields (knee) was placed on season-ending injured reserve on Dec. 23.
Huddle Up: With Fields out for the remainder of the year, it will come down to Tyrod Taylor and Brady Cook leading the Jets' offense.

New York Jets QB Brady Cook will start in Week 17 against the New England Patriots.
Huddle Up: Cook was 22-for-35 for 188 yards, no TDs and 1 INT in Week 16 against the New Orleans Saints. He has one TD and six INTs on 98 attempts thus far and shouldn't see a fantasy lineup.

New York Jets WR John Metchie caught one pass for four yards against the New Orleans Saints in Week 16. He was targeted five times during the game.
Huddle Up: Metchie was not able to find a connection with Brady Cook this week despite the five targets but has been targeted at least five times in each of the last five games. He should see a similar workload next week against the New England Patriots but can be avoided in most leagues.

New York Jets TE Jeremy Ruckert caught two passes for 14 yards against the New Orleans Saints in Week 16. He was targeted three times during the game.
Huddle Up: Ruckert seemed to be behind Stone Smartt in terms of role in the passing game this week and was held to under 20 receiving yards for the fifth straight game. He may see a few targets next week but can be avoided in fantasy leagues.
