Allen Lazard News
Free-agent wide receiver Allen Lazard has agreed to a four-year, $44 million contract with the Jets. The veteran led Green Bay in receiving last season, finishing with 788 yards and six touchdowns, benefiting from the offseason departure of Davante Adams. Of course, the acquisition of Lazard may mean Aaron Rodgers is on his way to New York. However, no matter who is under center for the Jets during the 2022-23 campaign, Lazard will have plenty of competition for snaps and targets. As a result, his fantasy outlook isn't as promising as it was a year ago. But if Rodgers does end up in New York, Lazard could be his preferred target, at least early in the season, while familiarizing himself with a new receiving corps.
The New York Jets are actively working to reach an agreement with Green Bay Packers free-agent wide receiver Allen Lazard on Tuesday, according to league sources. There is another team involved with Lazard, though, and no final decision has been made, but the Jets are trying to reunite Lazard with offensive coordinator Nathaniel Hackett. The Jets are also the favorites to trade for quarterback Aaron Rodgers if he wants to continue his playing career in 2023. Lazard was one of Rodgers top targets last year, so you can connect the dots. The 27-year-old wideout had a career-high 60 receptions for a career-high 788 yards and six touchdowns on 100 targets in 15 games last year, but a move to the Jets would hurt his fantasy value. He would no longer be the top dog in a receiving depth chart that already includes Garrett Wilson, Corey Davis and Elijah Moore.
Green Bay Packers wide receiver Allen Lazard caught 4-of-6 targets for 41 yards and one touchdown during the team's 20-16 loss to the Detroit Lions. The 27-year-old never reached his full potential in 2022, having high expectations touted as the new No. 1 target for quarterback Aaron Rodgers. After missing the season opener, Lazard caught a touchdown in five of the next seven games but only finished as a WR1 twice during that time. Once rookie Christian Watson started to emerge, the fifth-year receiver saw his target share take a big hit, and his touchdown upside completely evaporated. He proved to be one of the most trusted targets of Rodgers over the last month of the season, but it was not enough to save his fantasy season from ultimately being a disappointment. Heading into 2023, Rodgers' status with the team is in limbo, and Christian Watson is the clear top target of the future. With other receivers potentially entering the fold, Lazard will be a late-round fantasy option with limited upside come August.
