New York Jets WR Omar Cooper Jr. has been struggling to create consistent separation during practices and has also been inconsistent with his fundamentals, in the opinion of JetsWire's Justin Melo.
Huddle Up: Cooper was expected to compete for the No. 3 receiver job during camp, but the Jets may consider easing him into the offense during the regular season. He could be a late round pick in deeper leagues but will not be a starting option most weeks.
Huddle Up: Smith has been dealing with an injury but will likely play a series or two against the Pittsburgh Steelers. He is on track for the start of the regular season as long as he does not suffer a setback and should be considered a No. 2 quarterback in fantasy leagues.
New York Jets QB Geno Smith's (ankle) availability for the preseason game Friday, Aug. 21, is still uncertain at this point, according to head coach Aaron Glenn.
Huddle Up: The team can be cautious with Smith, so there is a good chance that he does not play in the upcoming preseason game. He will have several weeks to recover and should be ready for the start of the regular season. He will be a No. 2 quarterback in fantasy leagues.
Updating an earlier report, New York Jets RB Breece Hall (groin) got confirmation that the groin injury he suffered in practice on Monday, Aug. 17, was minor, per SNY.tv's Connor Hughes, who adds that the team will be cautious with Hall. It's believed he will be ready to go in Week 1.
Huddle Up: Hall is among the few desirable options on the Jets and a legitimate RB2 for fantasy owners. We'll see how much he does the rest of camp and in the lead up to Week 1, but for the time being it appears he has dodged a bullet. Breathe easy, Hall owners.
Huddle Up: Smith did not play in the first preseason game because of the injury, but it does not appear to be a serious issue for him. He will open the regular season as the starter for the Jets but is only a No. 2 quarterback in fantasy leagues.
Huddle Up: Wilson may miss a few practices, but he should be ready for the start of the regular season. He is the main target in the passing game and will be a weekly starting option in all fantasy leagues.
New York Jets RB Breece Hall (groin) suffered a groin strain Monday, Aug. 17, according to head coach Aaron Glenn. Hall will be evaluated, but Glenn didn't think it was a major deal.
Huddle Up: Hall's ADP is 32, which places him in the back end of the third round as an RB2. He has a lengthy injury history, and you'll need to monitor this. Braelon Allen should remain handcuffed to him in fantasy.
Updating a previous report, New York Jets QB Geno Smith (foot) is considered day to day due to foot soreness which kept him out of the team's preseason opener Friday, Aug. 14, according to head coach Aaron Glenn.
Huddle Up: Smith's next opportunity to see preseason game action will come against the Pittsburgh Steelers Friday, Aug. 21. The 35-year-old veteran should be viewed as a QB2 option in all fantasy formats.
Huddle Up: After securing a new contract, Hall should remain one of the main weapons in the New York offense this season. An improved passing game would help raise his ceiling, but even if the offense continues to struggle overall, Hall has shown he can be a volume-based RB2.
Huddle Up: After topping 1,000 yards in each of his first three seasons in the NFL, injuries derailed Wilson's 2025 campaign, limiting him to seven games. The quarterback situation in New York leaves something to be desired, but Wilson has shown he can produce solid numbers when healthy. He should at least provide WR3 production.
New York Jets WR Omar Cooper Jr. has shown some inconsistencies during training camp, but wide receivers coach Shawn Jefferson said that is normal for a rookie.
Huddle Up: Cooper was expected to have a solid role during his rookie season, but he may be eased into the offense early in the season if he does not perform well during preseason games. He can still be a late round option in some deeper leagues but is unlikely to be a starting fantasy option most weeks.
New York Jets TE Kenyon Sadiq (core) will miss "a couple of weeks," but will be ready for the start of the 2026 season, according to coach Aaron Glenn.
Huddle Up: Sadiq missing what could be all of the preseason could delay his direct involvement in the offense. He won't be worth installing into lineups unless it is a TE premium league until his place in the offense can be established.
Huddle Up: This can be a gift and a curse for fantasy purposes. It sounds like he wants to throw for a whole lot of yards and a whole lot of INTs. Smith is a matchup play as a QB2.
New York Jets TE Kenyon Sadiq (abdomen) suffered a setback in his recovery from hernia surgery and will miss time. Head coach Aaron Glenn is confident Sadiq will be ready for the regular season.
Huddle Up: He's missing important reps, and that will hinder of of the upside he had as a low-end TE1 or high-end TE2. He'll be a TE2 option, but you may not see the upside bloom until midseason.
Huddle Up: Sadiq is coming off surgery this offseason, so he will likely receive a few days off during camp. He is expected to be the starting tight end right away for the Jets and can be a No. 2 tight end in most fantasy leagues.
Huddle Up: Smith will be the Jets starting quarterback for the second time in his career this season and will have some good offensive weapons available in the passing game. He should be a No. 2 quarterback in fantasy leagues.
Updating previous reports, New York Jets QB Geno Smith won't be charged from a June 21 incident in which a woman claimed domestic violence. The woman, a longtime friend and casual intimate parter of Smith's who provides paid childcare for his son in her multifaceted role as his "manager," did not show up to two appointments to provide a sworn statement to police and later had her attorney inform officers that she would not be providing one.
Huddle Up: Since the criminal case won't continue, it's hard to see the league disciplining him as well. Smith remains a midrange QB2 best utilized in two-QB leagues.
New York Jets WR Omar Cooper Jr. was the team's 'most impressive rookie in the spring' and has all but solidified a spot in the team's three-receiver package, in the opinion of Rich Cimini of ESPN on Monday, June 29.
Huddle Up: Cooper, the team's 30th overall pick in the first round, should give the Jets a serious talent infusion next to Garrett Wilson on a Jets team that sorely needs talent and skill. Despite that, the Jets' offense isn't a great one to tether your hopes to in fantasy football. Consider Cooper bench depth at wide receiver with the hopes that he can show enough promise to be fantasy relevant in his rookie season.
Huddle Up: Sadiq had hernia surgery before the NFL Draft and slid a little because of it. The team plans to use him as a mismatch option due to his speed and explosiveness. He'll be an intriguing TE2 in fantasy.
New York Jets WR Adonai Mitchell has "solidified himself as the No. 2 receiver" with his performance this spring, according to Rich Cimini of ESPN.com.
Huddle Up: Mitchell had a couple of solid outings after being acquired by the Jets last season, and it looks like he will be a steady part of the offense in 2026. Granted, he probably won't deliver consistent production in a Geno Smith-led offense, but Mitchell is worth grabbing as a WR5.
New York Jets QB Geno Smith is being investigated by Davie, FL police for assault allegations stemming from an incident that took place on Sunday, according to a source on Monday, June 22.
Huddle Up: Smith was signed in the offseason with the expectation of being the Jets' starting quarterback for 2026, More news will come out, but if he's available for Week 1, he'll be a low-end streaming quarterback and a mid-range QB2 in 2-QB formats.
Huddle Up: Injuries limited Wilson to just seven games last year, but he topped 1,000 yards in each of his three previous seasons. While the quarterback situation in New York is still not ideal, the addition of Geno Smith should at least allow Wilson to provide WR3 numbers.
New York Jets RB Braelon Allen (knee) said Saturday, June 13, that he is back to 100 percent after tearing the anterior cruciate ligament in his left knee. Head coach Aaron Glenn said he wants to employ a "three-headed monster" in the backfield, and that was the plan last season before Allen's injury. RBs Breece Hall, the starter, and Isaiah Davis are the other backs in the equation. Allen also added that he hopes kick returns, which is how he hurt his knee, are going to be a thing of the past.
Huddle Up: Allen is likely going to have a role in the offense, but after shelling out big bucks to Hall, expect the Jets to get their money's worth on the starter. Still, there is likely a role for Allen to see something like 10-12 total touches per game, and he might be in the RB4/5 neighborhood for fantasy managers on draft day, especially as a handcuff for those who also select Hall.
Huddle Up: Allen has recovered from his knee surgery and should be the No. 2 running back for the Jets in 2026. He will likely see a limited workload behind Breece Hall and can be a No. 4 or No. 5 running back in fantasy leagues.
Huddle Up: Sadiq is recovering from hernia surgery but should be at least a limited participant when training camp starts. He will likely be the starting tight end for the Jets right away but may start off as a No. 2 fantasy tight end.
New York Jets first-round draft choice WR Omar Cooper Jr. agreed to terms on a four-year contract with the Jets Monday, June 1, worth $17.5 million, according to a source.
Huddle Up: Cooper should be at least the No. 3 receiver for the Jets and could compete for the No. 2 job during training camp. He should see a handful of targets each game in 2026 and can be a No. 4 or No. 5 receiver in fantasy leagues.
Huddle Up: Wilson has been the main receiver for the Jets for several seasons and should see a majority of the targets again in 2026. He will be working with a new quarterback but should still be a weekly starting option in all fantasy leagues.
