Jeremy Ruckert Fantasy

New York Jets rookie tight end Jeremy Ruckert and wide receiver Denzel Mims are healthy scratches for Week 1 of the regular season against the Baltimore Ravens on Sunday. Ruckert, a third-round pick this year out of Ohio State, has a bright future, but he's currently buried on the tight end depth chart in New York behind newcomers C.J. Uzomah and Tyler Conklin. Conklin is slightly more attractive in fantasy to begin the season, but Uzomah's presence makes it hard to recommend Conklin as anything more than a desperation low-end TE2. Mims was a trade candidate this summer, but he remains in New York and is buried on the receiver depth chart behind Elijah Moore, Corey Davis, rookie first-rounder Garrett Wilson and Braxton Berrios.

New York Jets tight end Jeremy Ruckert (foot) was removed from the PUP list on Wednesday. The former Buckeye was selected in the third round of the 2022 NFL Draft after amassing 54 catches for 615 yards and four touchdowns at the collegiate level. While it's good to see Ruckert on the field for training camp, he will compete against C.J. Uzomah and Tyler Conklin for looks from Zach Wilson this season. However, he will likely remain behind them on the depth chart, so his value in redraft formats is minimal. Yet, the 21-year-old is at least worth a late dynasty pick for those with room on their roster.

The New York Jets placed rookie third-round tight end Jeremy Ruckert (foot) on the Non-Football Injury list on Tuesday after he wasn't ready to go when rookies reported for training camp on Tuesday. Ruckert was the fourth tight end to be taken in this year's draft after he caught 54 passes for 615 yards and four touchdowns in his time at Ohio State. Fantasy managers shouldn't expect the 21-year-old to make any sort of big-time impact for the Jets in his rookie season given the fact that he's already behind and with C.J. Uzomah and Tyler Conklin in the fold after being added this offseason via free agency.
