Davante Adams traded to the Jets
1 month ago

The New York Jets have made a splash trade, acquiring star Wide Receiver Davante Adams from the Raiders, in exchange for a conditional 3rd round pick. Rodgers and Adams are reunited after spending 8 years in Green Bay together.

The saga is finally over. Davante Adams has a new home in the New York Jets, reuniting with his former Green Bay Quarterback Aaron Rodgers. This is fantastic news for Adams, who has seemingly languished on the Las Vegas roster for the last season and a half without Derek Carr. The news comes just a day after the Jets lost to the division rival Bills, in a game where the offense did look much improved with the demotion of Nate Hackett. Adams has been dealing with a hamstring injury since Week 3, but look for that to miraculously heal at the sight of his new jersey.

 

The fantasy impact is that Adams should be able to reignite his top-10 status with Rodgers, but it might take a game or two to get back on the same page. Regarding the other options on the Jets roster, Garrett Wilson has had two back-to-back break-out weeks. He goes from being the #1 in the Offense to the WR2, which should fit his style better, as only Allen Lazard was the second option behind him. Speaking of Lazard, we could only hope that it makes him more irrelevant for fantasy, but his familiarity with Rodgers has allowed him to score some improbable catches of late (see the Hail Mary at the end of the half Monday night for proof).

 

All in all, this is a boost for the moribund offense that was stuck in the mud for the last two games. They are moving in the right direction with Todd Downing, and this addition might be the one that puts them over the top.

Robert Saleh: Fired from the New York Jets
1 month ago

Robert Saleh has been fired by the New York Jets, according to Adam Schefter.

After a loss to the Vikings in London on Sunday, the Jets owner, Woody Johnson, has decided that the franchise is moving in a different direction, after Saleh’s 20-36 record in 5 years. Defensive Coordinator, Jeff Ulbrich, will be the interim head coach.

 

The impact of this fantasy-wise is hard to know, considering Saleh was a defensive-minded head coach. Nate Hackett is still the OC (for now), and they still have 40-year-old Aaron Rodgers at the reins. The offensive output in the last 5 games to start the season has produced similar results as last year, so this firing makes little sense this early in the season with their “new” QB.

 

Watch for any news of Hackett’s firing, as that will have a direct impact on the skill players involved. The Jets’ defense, which has performed fairly well this year, despite key injuries, may take a slight hit from Saleh’s departure.

Mike Williams to Start Camp on the PUP List
4 months ago

The New York Jets have placed wide receiver Mike Williams on the PUP list prior to the start of camp.

Mike Williams is set to begin training camp on the PUP list. The Jets signed the former Chargers wide receiver during the offseason to a one-year $15 million deal. Williams is still recovering from an ACL injury he suffered in Week 3 last season.

 

Williams has tallied up 309 receptions in seven seasons with the Chargers, for 4,806 yards, and 31 touchdowns. The veteran receiver has eclipsed the 1,000 yards receiving plateau twice in his career while having one double-digit touchdown season.  Before last season, Williams was averaging 55.8 receptions, 892.4 yards, and six touchdowns in his five previous seasons.

 

Williams should be ready for Week 1, and be an excellent complement to Garrett Wilson this year. He provides Aaron Rodgers, who’s returning from an Achilles injury with another weapon to throw to. On UnderDog, Williams currently has an ADP of 128.5 coming off the board as WR60. If your draft is soon, fantasy managers should look to draft him around the 11th round. Then after the draft you can stash him on your IR spot and pick up another young high-upside player to see how things shake out during camp.
