Mekhi Becton Fantasy

New York Jets rookie left tackle Mekhi Becton (chest) suffered a chest injury in the Monday night game against the division-rival Patriots. Becton is one of the few bright spots on a winless Jets team, so his loss will be a big one if he can't make it back in this game or has to miss time moving forward. Quarterback Sam Darnold could face more pressure from his blind side in the second half from New England's defensive line if Becton doesn't return after halftime. The 21-year-old from Louisville is an elite and massive (6-foot-7, 369 pounds) left tackle and could be a Pro Bowler for many years to come if he can stay healthy. Update: Both Becton and cornerback Brian Poole (knee) have been ruled out for the rest of the game.

New York Jets head coach Adam Gase said that the team received good news on rookie left tackle Mekhi Becton (shoulder), who was forced to miss the team's Week 3 loss to the Colts. "The MRI turned out better than really we were thinking last night. Well see how he gets through the week and possibly he can play in this game," Gase said. The Jets really needed some good injury news given all of their injured offensive skill players early this season. Becton has been a bright spot on the team's offensive line through two games, and they'll need him this Thursday as they attempt to win their first game of the season against the winless Broncos.

New York Jets offensive lineman Mekhi Becton (shoulder) exited Sunday's game against the Indianapolis Colts and will not return. The Jets offense is already in a precarious position due to injuries, and Becton -- who already was dealing with the shoulder issue before this game -- is another piece they can't afford to lose. The rookie had played every snap for the team in the first two games and an extended absence would make an already anemic offense worse as the run and pass blocking would take a hit.
