QUARTERBACKS

Tyrod Taylor44.828.1313.61.70.761789.30.6830.83

Aaron Rodgers: The Jets signed Mike Williams, a big upgrade opposite Garrett Wilson, and Tyron Smith in free agency while also drafting Olu Fashanu and Malachi Corley with their first two picks to help bolster the offense. Assuming better health in 2024 for Rodgers, who missed nearly all of last season with a torn Achilles, he should help raise the play of the offense in general — and the pass catchers in particular — even if he's only a mid-tier QB2 in fantasy.

Isaiah Davis24.2101.60.584.6360.321.34
Nick Bawden1.33.30.042.3170.14.02

Breece Hall: Not much went right for the Jets in 2023, although Hall was one of their few bright spots. Hall nearly rushed for 1,000 yards (994), led all running backs in receptions (76) and scored the fourth-most fantasy points (second-most in full-PPR formats) among running backs. With more competent quarterback play next season and being another year removed from his torn ACL, Hall is my clear favorite among non-Christian McCaffrey running backs.

WIDE RECEIVERS

PlayerRec.YardsTDRushYardsTDPoints

Mike Williams61837.15.7000148.41

Xavier Gipson9.3103.80.75.331.80.3224.33
Jason Brownlee2.125.40.20004.79

Garrett Wilson: With Aaron Rodgers playing four snaps in 2023, it's no surprise that Wilson failed to live up to preseason expectations. Then again, fantasy managers expected more than a WR31 finish. Even so, the lack of scoring (three TDs) was a big factor, as Wilson finished with 95 catches for 1,042 yards. No receiver had a higher number of contested targets (37), per PFF. Assuming better quarterback play and barring injury, Wilson could take a big step forward in his age-24 season.

Mike Williams: Williams missed nearly all of the 2023 season with a torn ACL, but he's shown how productive he can be when healthy. While he has appeared in only 32 games over the past three seasons, he has averaged a 17-game line of 84/1,217/7 during that span. Earlier this spring, GM Joe Douglas said of Williams, "I would say he's not gonna be ready for the start of training camp," but "we do feel confident that he's gonna be ready for the year."

TIGHT ENDS

Jeremy Ruckert22.1222.51.600042.9
Kenny Yeboah5.655.10.400010.71

Tyler Conklin: Conklin has had exactly 87 targets with 58 to 61 receptions in three consective years including the past two seasons with the Jets. Conklin set a career high with 621 yards (but failed to score a touchdown) in 2023. The presence of Mike Williams and Malachi Corley as the team's WR2/WR3, respectively, could lead to a few less targets (than 87), but a healthy Aaron Rodgers should raise the overall performance of the offense.

QUARTERBACKS

PlayerAtt.Comp.YardsTDINTRushYardsTDPoints
Aaron Rodgers556.3364.44088.829.7610.0136.8106.71.38281.52
Zach Wilson35.520.1252.11.10.994.319.40.2215.76

Aaron Rodgers: After winning back-to-back NFL MVP awards in 2020 and 2021, Rodgers numbers (without Davante Adams) were well below his career averages across the board in 2022 — 64.6% (65.3% career average), 4.8 TD% (6.2%), 2.2 INT% (1.4%), 6.8 Y/A (7.7) and 91.1 passer rating (103.6). Regardless of how long the next era of his career lasts, Rodgers joins a Jets team that has a better supporting cast than he had last year in Green Bay.

RUNNING BACKS

PlayerAtt.YardsTDRec.YardsTDPoints
Breece Hall183.4825.35.539.8329.92.1181.02
Dalvin Cook144.4635.44.4826.9212.71.4133.54

Israel Abanikanda19.581.90.47430.40.217.25
Nick Bawden0001.28.70.12.07

Breece Hall: Before Hall tore his ACL, his NFL career was off to a great start. The rookie from Iowa State averaged 5.8 yards per carry and 11.5 yards per reception through seven games. His workload had jumped considerably in Weeks 4-6 (61 touches) from Weeks 1-3 (34). Who knows how good his rookie season would have been if the injury hadn't happened? There are lots of reasons for fantasy managers to be excited about Hall's long-term outlook, but it wouldn't be a shock if he starts the 2023 season slowly, especially with Dalvin Cook joining the Jets on a one-year deal.

Dalvin Cook: Cook appeared in all 17 games last season, and it was the first time that played more than 14 games in a season. Now a Jet, he's no longer the clear lead back, but it's possible that he starts the season with a larger share of the workload as the Jets ease Hall back from injury.

Michael Carter: Carter had double-digit touches in eight of the first nine games last season, but he had only 28 touches — 15 carries for 32 yards and 13 catches for 79 yards — over the final five games. The team kept him over Zonovan Knight, but his opportunities will be limited as long as both Hall and Cook are healthy.

WIDE RECEIVERS

PlayerRec.YardsTDRushYardsTDPoints

Allen Lazard61.3779.25.72.615.60.1144.93

Jason Brownlee5.667.30.500012.53
Irvin Charles2.734.70.20006.02

Garrett Wilson: Despite poor quarterback play, Wilson was outstanding in 2022 as he finished with 83 receptions for 1,103 yards and four touchdowns and was named NFL Offensive Rookie of the Year. More efficient quarterback play should help Wilson in his second season.

Allen Lazard: Lazard posted career highs in targets (100), receptions (60) and yards (788) last season. Although Lazard edged his Packers teammate Christian Watson in fantasy points scored last season, both of whom finished as top-36 performers, Watson outscored him on a per-game basis. While he benefits from continuing to catch passes from Aaron Rodgers, there's a clear talent gap between Garrett Wilson and Lazard.

Mecole Hardman: Hardman has the potential to have an occasional big week, but he'll be hard to trust as the team's third (or fourth?) receiver behind Wilson and Lazard (and Cobb?). He's never averaged more than 40.8 yards per game in his four seasons with Patrick Mahomes.

Kenny Yeboah3.841.20.30007.82

Tyler Conklin: Conklin followed up his breakout 2021 season (61/593/3, 87 targets) in Minnesota with nearly identical numbers (58/552/3, 87 targets) with the Jets last year. Given that the offense should be better in general in 2023, there's a chance that Conklin performs as a mid-tier TE2 once again.

His workload had jumped considerably in Weeks 4-6 (61 touches) from Weeks 1-3 (34). Who knows how good his rookie season would have been if the injury hadn't happened? There are lots of reasons for fantasy managers to be excited about Hall's long-term outlook, but it wouldn't be a shock if he starts the 2023 season slowly as he works his way back from injury.

Michael Carter: Carter had double-digit touches in eight of the first nine games last season, but he had only 28 touches — 15 carries for 32 yards and 13 catches for 79 yards — over the final five games. Various other backs (Hall, James Robinson and Zonovan Knight) had games where they handled larger workloads than Carter, but he's a talented back, especially as a receiver, and Hall should be eased in slowly.

Zonovan Knight: Knight wasn't active until Week 12, but he handled 98 touches (85/300/1 rushing and 13/100 receiving) over the final seven games of the season.

Israel Abanikanda: NFL.com's Lance Zierlein comped Abanikanda to Kansas City's Isiah Pacheco, and it would be unreasonable to expect a similar rookie contribution from the fifth-round pick. That said, The Athletic's Zach Rosenblatt wrote after OTAs that Abanikanda "has the explosiveness and home-run ability to make an impact right away, and I think he will."

Garrett Wilson: Despite poor quarterback play, Wilson was outstanding in 2022 as he finished with 83 receptions for 1,103 yards and four touchdowns and was named NFL Offensive Rookie of the Year. More efficient quarterback play will definitely help Wilson, even though Rodgers' buddies (Allen Lazard and Randall Cobb) followed him to Florham Park.

Allen Lazard: Lazard posted career highs in targets (100), receptions (60) and yards (788) last season. Although Lazard edged his Packers teammate Christian Watson in fantasy points scored last season, both of whom finished as top-36 performers, Watson outscored him on a per-game basis. While he benefits from continuing to catch passes from Aaron Rodgers, there's a clear talent gap between Garrett Wilson and Lazard.

Mecole Hardman: Hardman has the potential to have an occasional big week, but he'll be hard to trust as the team's third receiver. He's never averaged more than 40.8 yards per game in his four seasons with Patrick Mahomes.

Tyler Conklin: Conklin followed up his breakout 2021 season (61/593/3, 87 targets) in Minnesota with nearly identical numbers (58/552/3, 87 targets) with the Jets last year. Given that the offense should be better in general in 2023, there's a chance that Conklin performs as a mid-tier TE2 once again.

C.J. Uzomah: After signing a free-agent deal with the Jets, Uzomah finished 2022 with a modest 21/232/2 stat line. Perhaps a new year with a new quarterback and offensive coordinator will be what Uzomah needs for a better season with Gang Green.

Jeremy Ruckert: The Athletic's Zach Rosenblatt called Ruckert "one of the biggest winners of OTAs." Meanwhile, coach Robert Saleh said that the third-round, second-year tight end "looks awesome."
