New York Jets Depth Chart

The New York Jets re-signed backup quarterback David Fales to an undisclosed one-year deal on Tuesday, according to a source. Fales was Sam Darnold's backup for most of last season and will continue to fill that role after playing for head coach Adam Gase and offensive coordinator Dowell Loggains in both Chicago and Miami. Since being drafted in the sixth round of the 2014 draft by the Bears, the 29-year-old has played in parts of just five games and has never started a game. He'll continue to hold the clipboard for Darnold in New York and will have zero fantasy appeal.

The New York Jets agreed to a one-year deal worth up to $8 million with wide receiver Breshad Perriman on Tuesday, according to his agent, Drew Rosenhaus. The deal includes $6 million in guarantees. Perriman will help replace Robby Anderson, who signed with the Panthers earlier in the day. The 26-year-old Perriman had 36 catches for 645 yards and six touchdowns with Tampa Bay last year, averaging 17.9 yards per catch in 14 games while seeing just 56 percent of the snaps. He did most of his damage down the stretch when both Mike Evans and Chris Godwin were injured. Perriman is a speedy receiver that will provide quarterback Sam Darnold with a nice downfield threat to complement Jamison Crowder in the slot. The former first-round pick should be a WR3/4 target, but fantasy owners shouldn't overpay for him, as he could be a frustrating boom/bust asset.

The New York Jets are re-signing linebacker Jordan Jenkins to a one-year, $5 million deal on Monday, according to a source. Jenkins led the team in sacks last year with a career-high eight in 14 games (13 starts) for Gang Green while also recording 32 tackles (21 solo), nine tackles for loss, 13 QB hits, three passes defensed and two forced fumbles. The 25-year-old has 15 sacks in the last two seasons in New York, but he just doesn't rack up enough tackles as an outside linebacker to be of use in IDP leagues. Jenkins' career high in combined tackles was 49 back in 2017.

The New York Jets exercised the 2020 option on tight end Ryan Griffin on Saturday, according to a source. Griffin signed an extension with the team last November after making a strong impression and starting in all 13 games that he played. It helped that Chris Herndon couldn't get on the field much because of injuries, but Griffin took advantage of the opportunity to catch 34 passes for 320 yards and a career-high five touchdowns. The 30-year-old former sixth-round pick of the Texans in 2013 will have to earn his playing time over Herndon in 2020, though, so he can likely be avoided in standard-sized fantasy leagues.

It was anticipated that free-agent wide receiver Robby Anderson would receive plenty of attention on the open market as the No. 2 available wideout behind Amari Cooper, who quickly re-signed with the Cowboys. However, free agency hasn't gone as expected for Anderson and he's still available without anyone showing interest in him four days into free agency. The New York Jets remain without a No. 1 receiver and Anderson has worked with quarterback Sam Darnold for two years and knows head coach Adam Gase's system. With his price dropping, the Jets could get Anderson to return at a price they're comfortable with. The 26-year-old has never had a 1,000-yard season and was a disappointment in his second year with Darnold in 2019. If he returns to New York, Anderson will be more of a WR4/flex for fantasy owners.
