The New York Jets could sign free-agent wide receiver Lucky Whitehead (foot) after bringing him in for a visit last week, according to a source. Whitehead broke his foot in the preseason and could be a punt return option if he's signed. Whitehead is more of an option on special teams, so if New York signs him, he won't be on the fantasy radar at all.
Earlier this summer, New York Jets wide receiver Lucky Whitehead was making headlines over his release from the Dallas Cowboys. Now, he's making more headlines in ways that aren't good. The Jets announced on Wednesday that Whitehead suffered a broken foot, and will be out for an indefinite period of time. They are unsure at the moment if surgery will be required. It's a tough break for Whitehead; with the Jets very thin wide receiver corps, Whitehead would have had a real chance to make an impact. Stay tuned to for updates on Whitehead as they come in, but don't expect him back on the field anytime soon.
Free-agent wide receiver Lucky Whitehead was claimed off waivers by the New York Jets on Wednesday, according to a source. Whitehead has just nine catches for 64 yards and no touchdowns the last two years with Dallas, and he's more of a special teams guy. He can be avoided everywhere.
