C.J. Uzomah Fantasy

New York Jets tight end C.J. Uzomah (leg) passed a physical on Wednesday and was removed from the Physically Unable to Perform list. Uzomah started training camp on the PUP list, but he's quickly off of it and is now able to practice with the rest of the team. The 30-year-old wasn't very involved in the offense in his first year with the Jets in 2022, catching 21 of his 27 targets for 232 yards and two touchdowns in 15 games (13 starts). As long as Tyler Conklin remains healthy, Uzomah won't have a fantasy relevant pass-catching role in New York. Second-year tight end Jeremy Ruckert could also be looking at a bigger role, so Uzomah is well off fantasy radars heading into the 2023 regular season.

New York Jets tight end C.J. Uzomah (leg) was placed on the PUP list on Wednesday. The veteran twisted his leg during OTAs, although he avoided a significant injury. The 30-year-old spent his entire career in Cincinnati before signing with the Jets last offseason. He appeared in 15 games in 2022-23, accumulating 21 catches for 232 yards and two touchdowns. There's still a chance he will be ready for the opener. However, Uzomah isn't expected to be a reliable fantasy producer. But with Aaron Rodgers under center, Uzomah may have more than a few potent performances throughout the 2023-24 campaign.

New York Jets tight end C.J. Uzomah (leg) hurt his right leg in individual drills at practice on Friday and left with a trainer. It's unclear right now how serious Uzomah's injury is, but we should have more information on him at some point this weekend. Hopefully, it's nothing major and he'll be ready to go for the start of training camp at the end of July. The 30-year-old was mostly a backup at the tight end position in his first year in New York in 2022, as he caught 21 passes on 27 targets for 232 yards and two touchdowns in 15 games (13 starts). He should continue to split playing time with Tyler Conklin in 2023, but he'll mostly be off the fantasy radar, even with quarterback Aaron Rodgers now running Gang Green's offense.
