New York Jets tight ends Jeremy Ruckert and Kenny Yeboah caught a combined 18 passes for 179 yards and no touchdowns last season, but Jets reporter Robby Sabo expects them both to be "heavily involved" in the offense behind starter Tyler Conklin. "The reason they sent Uzomah packing and did not add to the TE room is due to the Jets' comfort with both players," Sabo wrote. While Conklin should be the clear target leader at the position, Ruckert or Yeboah could earn targets early in the season while Mike Williams (knee) recovers from his early-season ACL tear and rookie Malachi Corley gets comfortable in the offense. While neither player is worth drafting in most formats, they've been impressive at OTAs and should be monitored in deep tight-end premium setups.

Jeremy Ruckert Out For Week 18
New York Jets tight end Jeremy Ruckert (concussion) has been ruled out for Week 18. The 23-year-old suffered a concussion in Week 16 against the Washington Commanders and has not practiced since that game. Ruckert's season ends having caught 16 of his 22 targets for 151 receiving yards. With Ruckert out for the season finale, Kenny Yeboah will see a slight increase in work as Tyler Conklin's backup. Last week against the Cleveland Browns Yeboah caught two passes for 28 yards, which accounts for all of his offensive production since being activated from injured reserve in Week 14.

Jeremy Ruckert Won't Play In Week 17
New York Jets tight end Jeremy Ruckert (concussion) missed practice on Monday and will not play against the Cleveland Browns in Week 17, head coach Robert Saleh told the media. With the Jets heading into a short week, it simply would not be feasible to expect Ruckert to clear concussion protocol in time for kickoff. The 23-year-old has been a depth option this season, playing in all 15 games but registering just 16 catches and 151 yards. Kenny Yeboah should earn more snaps behind Tyler Conklin on Thursday night.

Jeremy Ruckert Ready For Bigger Role
New York Jets tight ends Tyler Conklin and C.J. Uzomah weren't on the field for all of mandatory minicamp, which allowed Jeremy Ruckert to get some valuable repetitions with quarterback Aaron Rodgers. The 2022 third-round pick looks ready for a bigger role in his second NFL season, The Athletic's Zack Rosenblatt writes. The 22-year-old spent most of his rookie campaign in 2022 on the bench, as he finished with just one catch on two targets for eight yards in nine games played. While Ruckert will continue to factor in on special teams, he should have a bigger role on offense in his second year in the NFL, but it won't be enough to put him on the fantasy map as long as both Conklin and Uzomah are healthy.

Jeremy Ruckert, Denzel Mims Inactive Against Ravens
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.

Jeremy Ruckert Added Back To Active Roster
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.

Jets Put Jeremy Ruckert On NFI List
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.

Jeremy Ruckert Slowed By Foot Injury
New York Jets rookie tight end Jeremy Ruckert (foot) has been dealing with a foot injury and will be re-evaluated this week, but head coach Robert Saleh said the team is "hoping" he'll be able to get in some work this spring during organized team activities. The Jets brought in both C.J. Uzomah and Tyler Conklin at the position in free agency this offseason, so Ruckert figures to serve as valuable depth at tight end in his rookie season in New York. If he's forced to miss workouts this spring, that would cause him to miss valuable developmental time before training camp as well. Ruckert won't be a rookie tight end to target in redraft fantasy leagues in 2022.

Jets Add Another Tight End, Select Jeremy Ruckert At 101
Ohio State tight end Jeremy Ruckert was selected by the Jets with the 101st overall pick in the 2022 NFL Draft. New York secured another tight end on Friday night after recently adding C.J. Uzomah and Tyler Conklin to the roster via free agency. Ruckert wasn't the most consistent receiving option throughout his time as a Buckeye. Yet, the-21-year-old was an effective pass-catcher when needed, especially inside the red zone. Nonetheless, competition for targets and uncertainty surrounding his role won't do him any favors on the fantasy end of things during his rookie season. As a result, Ruckert isn't anticipated to garner much interest from managers during drafts heading toward September. However, there's a chance he could get some attention as a streaming option during the year.
