Jets

As expected, Rodgers was upgraded to a full participant after being limited on Wednesday due to missing the team’s stretching period. Rodgers himself said he was “a little banged up,” but it doesn’t sound like he’s at risk of missing Week 5’s contest against the Vikings in London.

The Jets have been a hypothetical trade destination ever since Aaron Rodgers joined them last offseason, and the Raiders shipped Adams’ college BFF, Derek Carr, to the Saints. Bleacher Reports’ Jordan Schultz reported earlier in the week that the Jets are a preferred destination for Adams, who seems unlikely to play another snap for the Raiders. While a trade to the Jets could eventually be in the works, Breer notes that the Bills and Steelers have also inquired about Adams. The Jets feel like the obvious favorite to land Adams given his history with Rodgers, but we’ll see how things unfold with this situation, that remains very wait-and-see. Adams is already expected to miss the Raiders’ Week 5 game against the Broncos with a hamstring injury.

This comes just days after Saleh told reporters the team’s goal-line role “is definitely something to look at.” It doesn’t sound like Hall is at risk of losing goal-line work to Braelon Allen, but it’s also not a rock-solid endorsement. Fantasy managers will be starting Hall regardless of his goal-line role, but any lost work in that high-value area of the field would be a blow to his weekly fantasy outlook.

Head coach Robert Saleh told reporters Rodgers would be a full participant in practice, but the veteran quarterback missed the stretching period at the start of practice, making Wednesday a limited session for him. The expectation is that he will fully participate in team drills, so it doesn’t look like there’s much to worry about here. Rodgers said earlier this week on the Pat McAfee show that he was “a little banged up” but didn’t seem overly concerned. Barring a setback, he should be good to go for Week 5 versus the Vikings.

Wilson discussed the Jets unit as a whole and his role specifically, adding “I see a lot of teams mix it up and stuff like that. I don’t think we do that. I think we know our identity.” His comments indicate Jets OC Nathaniel Hackett’s game plan has Wilson running a different route tree than his last two seasons, while the offense is not changing much weekly. The Jets’ current offensive identity has seen Wilson tally 60 or fewer receiving yards in each game this season. With Aaron Rodgers leading a group sitting at 2-2 and Davante Adams a potential trade target, Wilson may continue to sit by the wayside. He has WR2 fantasy value until a shake-up is seen.

Fortunately for the McAfee Show, his mouth continues to work. Indeed, our Sunday blurb on Rodgers was titled “Rodgers gets banged up in Week 4 loss” and noted that he received attention from Jets trainers for a leg injury. It’s possible he pops up on the injury report this week ahead of Sunday morning’s tilt with the Vikings in London. We doubt it’s serious enough to make him miss Week 5, but if it were serious, the Jets would likely to turn to Tyrod Taylor.

Corley has one target in three games and was inactive on Sunday behind Xavier Gipson and Irvin Charles. It doesn’t look like there will be a path to rookie-season relevancy for the Western Kentucky standout and he can be dropped in non-dynasty leagues.

There had been some speculation over whether or not the Jets could deal Reddick back to the Eagles after a report emerged that Reddick “wouldn’t mind going back to Philadelphia.” Unfortunately for Reddick and, at this point, the Jets, the league doesn’t allow this to happen. Reddick, who has yet to report to the Jets in any capacity since his introductory press conference, is staring down the barrel of a wasted 2024 season if he and the Jets can’t sort out their differences and/or work out a trade to another team ahead of this year’s trade deadline. The 30-year-old pass rusher is coming off an 11-sack season and has totaled 27 sacks over the last two years. Still on the final year of a three-year contract he signed back in 2022, Reddick would find himself in the same situation in 2025 if he doesn’t report to the Jets on or before their sixth game of the season, per Over the Cap.

Lazard tied for the team lead in targets and gained more yards than the struggling Garrett Wilson. Lazard had one of the biggest plays of the day with a 25-yard reception in the middle of the field — a tough catch that required trust from Aaron Rodgers. Lazard’s connection with Rodgers has made him a fantasy viable wideout through the first month of the regular season. He’ll be a top-36 option in Week 5 against Minnesota.

Williams’ playing time was ramped up from Week 3, just as beat writers had predicted. Williams ran a route on 37 of the Jets’ 54 drop backs and nearly came down with a touchdown from Aaron Rodgers. He led all New York pass catchers in receiving. With Rodgers and Garrett Wilson struggling to find chemistry, Williams could be the beneficiary in the coming weeks. He has a rough matchup in Week 5 against the Vikings.
