Lamarcus Joyner Fantasy

New York Jets safety Lamarcus Joyner (triceps) is still the starter despite missing organized team activities and minicamp, but there's a chance that Ashtyn Davis and Jason Pinnock could push him for playing time this year if their strong OTAs turn into strong training camps. Joyner is 31 years old and his future with the team is unlikely to extend beyond the 2022 season. Joyner is reportedly healthy heading into training camp at the end of July after he played in just one game in 2021 due to a season-ending triceps injury. He projects to open the season as a starter next to Jordan Whitehead, but Joyner will have to play well and stay healthy to hold off both Davis and Pinnock in the Jets secondary.

The New York Jets re-signed veteran safety Lamarcus Joyner to an undisclosed one-year deal on Thursday, according to his agent. Joyner suffered a season-ending triceps injury in Week 1 of last year. The 31-year-old entered the season as the starting safety opposite Marcus Maye. With Maye likely to leave in free agency, the Jets decided to give Joyner another chance in their secondary. Joyner had 66 tackles (53 solo), six tackles for loss and five passes defensed in 14 games (six starts) for the Las Vegas Raiders in 2020 before he joined the Jets. He was originally a second-round pick in the 2014 draft by the St. Louis Rams out of Florida State.

New York Jets defensive back Lamarcus Joyner (elbow) exited the Week 1 showdown with the Carolina Panthers early after he suffered a torn tendon that will require surgery and likely knock him out for the season. The former Las Vegas Raider played in 14 games last year, finishing with five pass deflections and 66 combined tackles (53 solo) while adding six tackles for loss. The 30-year-old signed a one-year deal this offseason, so he has potentially played his final game as a member of the New York Jets.
