Does Braelon Allen Still Carry Dynasty Buy-Low Appeal Following Jets' Offseason Moves?

New York Jets running back Braelon Allen was one of the buzzier names in fantasy circles leading into the 2025 season. However, the 22-year-old suffered a season-ending knee injury in Week 4 that prevented him from eating into the workload of Jets RB1 Breece Hall. While Allen should be ready to go for the start of 2026, Hall remains in New York after signing a three-year, $45.75 extension with the Jets over the offseason. As a result, Allen's path to fantasy-relevant production in New York appears to be blocked off by Hall for the foreseeable future. He remains an appealing handcuff option for fantasy managers, but his dynasty stock is falling entering 2026.

Garrett Wilson Back at OTAs With Jets

After a season-ending knee injury suffered in 2025, New York Jets wide receiver Garrett Wilson (knee) is back on the field for OTA practices this week, according to Ryan Dunleavy of the New York Post. The injury bug finally bit Wilson in his fourth year in the NFL, limiting him to seven starts and 36 receptions for 395 yards and four touchdowns on 59 targets last year. The 25-year-old briefly returned in Week 10 against the Cleveland Browns, only to sprain the same knee after 19 offensive snaps. He was shut down for the rest of the way after that. The former 10th overall pick in 2022 out of Ohio State has the skills to rebound as the Jets' top wideout, but can he really do it with veteran quarterback Geno Smith, who was terrible in 2025 in Vegas, leading the offense? Wilson could also have more target competition after the addition of rookie tight end Kenyon Sadiq and rookie wideout Omar Cooper Jr. He will at least come at a discounted price on draft day, with RotoBaller ranking Wilson as the WR17 overall going into his fifth year in the NFL.

Kenyon Sadiq has Hernia Surgery, Expected to be Ready for Training Camp

New York Jets rookie first-round tight end Kenyon Sadiq (hernia) had surgery for a sports hernia, but head coach Aaron Glenn said he expects the Oregon product to be ready for training camp, according to Adam Schefter of ESPN. The 21-year-old should be fine for the start of the 2026 regular season in early September, but he is going to miss valuable reps going into his first year in the NFL during OTAs and minicamp next month. Sadiq is a physical freak at 6-foot-3 and 241 pounds and is more of an oversized receiver than a traditional tight end. He caught 51 passes for 560 yards and a career-high eight touchdowns in 14 games in 2025 in his final season with the Ducks, and he could immediately be fantasy relevant in single-year leagues in 2026, even though Geno Smith will be starting at QB for the Jets. The presence of second-year TE Mason Taylor will definitely lower Sadiq's ceiling in redraft leagues, but RotoBaller already has him ranked as the No. 15 fantasy TE for the upcoming campaign.

Jets Sign Kicker Younghoe Koo on Wednesday

The New York Jets signed free-agent kicker Younghoe Koo to an undisclosed deal on Wednesday, sources told Connor Hughes of SNY. Koo spent seven years with the Atlanta Falcons, where he was named a Pro Bowler in 2020. The 31-year-old veteran kicked with the Falcons and New York Giants in 2025 and went 6-for-9 on his field-goal attempts and 13-for-14 on extra-point tries in only six games played. Going into his ninth year in the NFL with Gang Green, Koo will be competing with Cade York and Lenny Krieg for primary placekicking duties in 2026. Even if he wins the gig to start the 2026 regular season, fantasy managers should have much better options at the kicking position. For his career, Koo has an 85.3% success rate on his 217 field-goal attempts (29-for-42 from 50-plus yards) and has made 95.9% of his extra-point attempts in 98 career games.

Breece Hall • RB • Jets

Breece Hall's Extension Solidifies His Dynasty Outlook

New York Jets running back Breece Hall signed a three-year extension, solidifying his position atop the depth chart going forward. There had been some questions about whether there was really a future for Hall in New York, especially after the team explored trading him last fall and gave him the franchise tag this past offseason. This new $45.75 million extension confirms their commitment to keeping him in an every-down role for years to come, taking advantage of his versatile skill set. His production dipped slightly in a subpar Jets offense last year, but he still managed to produce on the ground and through the air with 243 carries, 1,065 rushing yards, 36 catches, 350 receiving yards, and five total touchdowns. The state of New York's offense is holding him back from reaching his full potential, as he's never scored more than nine touchdowns in a single season. We expect more of the same in 2026 with Geno Smith at quarterback, but Hall (and the offense in general) could trend upward in 2027 with the anticipated arrival of a flashy rookie quarterback. A healthy Hall provides weekly RB2 stability with RB1 upside, and his price has softened in dynasty trade talks recently. Managers should consider sending out trade offers to acquire Hall at a discount, since he could return to the top-10 running back range in 2027 and 2027.

Geno Smith • QB • Jets

Geno Smith a Low-Cost Dynasty Add Who Still Comes with Risk

New York Jets quarterback Geno Smith is RotoBaller's dynasty QB41, and following a disastrous season with the Raiders in which he threw for barely over 3,000 yards and nearly as many interceptions as touchdowns, the 35-year-old veteran has become one of the most easily acquirable starting quarterbacks in fantasy. With New York's offensive line notably stronger than the unit he played behind in Vegas, and the Jets boasting an exciting group of young pass catchers even behind 2022 Offensive Rookie of the Year Garrett Wilson, if Smith has anything left in the tank, his production should improve dramatically in 2026. While he should be capable of plugging in as a startable bye week or injury filler in superflex leagues, how much value he can provide if needed in a pinch during fantasy playoffs is a different question entirely. The Jets spent a fourth-round pick on Clemson quarterback Cade Klubnik, and with three first-round picks in a loaded 2027 NFL Draft and an eye toward the future, there's no certainty that Smith will be the one starting games to finish the season. For quarterback-desperate managers, Smith is still capable of exceeding his current trade value, but should he end 2026 riding the bench for another bad Jets team, any remaining dynasty value will fully disintegrate.

Adonai Mitchell • WR • Jets

Adonai Mitchell Unlikely to be Phased Out of Jets Offense

With the New York Jets spending two first-round picks on rookie pass-catchers in the 2026 NFL Draft, third-year wide receiver Adonai Mitchell has fallen all the way to WR99 in RotoBaller's dynasty rankings. Given his deployment by the Jets following a 2025 mid-season trade from the Colts, he may not be overly impacted by the additions of tight end Kenyon Sadiq and possession receiver Omar Cooper Jr. Both rookies found most of their collegiate success working in the short-to-intermediate areas of the field, particularly over the middle. The two combined to see more than 54% of their 2025 targets between the hashes, within 10 yards of the line of scrimmage. By contrast, Mitchell saw only four total targets in that area across his eight games with the Jets, leading all qualified receivers on the team with a 14.6-yard average depth of target while playing more than 80% of his snaps on the outside. The retreading of quarterback Geno Smith and offensive coordinator Frank Reich may not have been the most inspired choices, but the Jets offense appears to be trending in the right direction, and if the 23-year-old Mitchell can clean up the 15.2% drop rate that has plagued him through two seasons in the league, his big-play ability makes him an intriguing low-cost dynasty buy, particularly in best ball formats.

Mason Taylor • TE • Jets

How Much Dynasty Value Will Mason Taylor Hold After Offensive-Heavy Draft?

2025 second-round pick Mason Taylor showed some promising moments in his rookie season with the New York Jets on his way to amassing 369 yards on 44 receptions. However, with the Jets' selection of tight end Kenyon Sadiq with the 16th overall pick in the 2026 NFL Draft, Taylor could now be on a path toward fantasy hardship, similar to the one seen by the Raiders' Michael Mayer. While Sadiq does not come into the league with the college resume of Raiders 2024 first-round pick Brock Bowers, he put on a clinic at the NFL Combine and is expected to claim the top tight end spot in New York. With the league trending toward more 12 and 13 personnel, Taylor will still have his opportunities in Frank Reich's tight end-friendly offense, but having forced zero missed tackles as a rookie, his skill set is not one that can necessarily translate to fantasy success without an abundance of volume. The Jets also spent their third of three first-round picks on receiver Omar Cooper Jr., who occupies a similar area of the field and will make a reliable target share even harder to come by. At RotoBaller's dynasty TE23, Taylor is still a worthwhile hold who could step into the occasional spike week as an injury replacement, but as long as Sadiq is healthy, it will be difficult to trust the 22-year-old second-year player out of LSU.

Tim Patrick • WR • Jets

Jets Agree to Terms With Veteran Receiver Tim Patrick

The New York Jets agreed to terms on an undisclosed deal with veteran free-agent wide receiver Tim Patrick on Wednesday after he visited with the team, a source told Rich Cimini of ESPN. Patrick played in 16 regular-season games with the Jacksonville Jaguars last year and finished with only 15 receptions for 187 yards and three touchdowns on 24 targets in his sixth year in the NFL. A once-promising career was derailed with the Denver Broncos in 2022 and 2023 when he suffered torn ACLs in his knee in back-to-back seasons. The 32-year-old veteran originally went undrafted out of Utah before debuting in the NFL back in 2018 in Denver. He spent four years with the Broncos before playing for the Detroit Lions in 2024 and in Jacksonville last season. Patrick will bring a veteran presence to New York's WR room in 2026 and will offer versatility and depth to a unit that already includes Garrett Wilson, Adonai Mitchell, and rookie first-rounder Omar Cooper Jr. In an offense run by veteran QB Geno Smith as most likely the WR4, Patrick won't be on the fantasy radar at all in redraft or dynasty formats.

Kenyon Sadiq • TE • Jets

Is Kenyon Sadiq the Next Great Rookie Tight End?

A rookie tight end has cracked the top five in half-PPR fantasy leagues every season since 2023, and if that trend is to continue in 2026, New York Jets first-round pick Kenyon Sadiq is perhaps the most likely candidate. The Jets took Sadiq with the 16th overall pick, making him the first tight end off the board in a class that would ultimately see 21 players selected at the position. Having never topped 560 receiving yards during his time at Oregon, his collegiate production does not stack up favorably with that of recent first-round tight ends, but in the era of NIL, Sadiq is one of the few early-declare prospects in this draft class and will take his first professional snaps at the age of 21. His athleticism is well-documented, and with his biggest competition for targets behind Garrett Wilson being fellow first-round pick Omar Cooper Jr., he could see early volume in a Frank Reich offense that has historically involved tight ends at one of the league's highest rates. Sadiq is already RotoBaller's dynasty TE9, and while he may not make the immediate impact of recent rookie tight ends, he has the physical traits and the opportunity to become a sought-after dynasty asset in what looks to be a rapidly improving offense.

Cade Klubnik • QB • Jets

Cade Klubnik Becoming Fan Favorite, in Play to Win Backup QB Job?

The Athletic's Zack Rosenblatt writes that New York Jets fourth-round rookie quarterback Cade Klubnik is quickly becoming a fan favorite and could have a chance to win the backup job behind veteran Geno Smith to begin his first year in the NFL in 2026. Klubnik was accurate and threw the ball well in rookie minicamp over the weekend, although it was closer to a walkthrough pace than a full-blown practice tempo. The 22-year-old's draft stock fell after a poor final season at Clemson in 2025 in which he dealt with ankle and wrist injuries. The word "aura" is being thrown around explaining Klubnik's presence early on, and the Jets' decision to slow-play their pursuit of another veteran backup QB suggests that they could give Klubnik an opportunity to be Smith's backup. Klubnik's primary competition for that job will be Brady Cook. "He's a really smart man," head coach Aaron Glenn said. "We're going to push the envelope with (him) and see exactly where he's at and how he's going to be able to operate with our offense." Klubnik has a ways to go, but his dynasty stock should only continue to rise in a Jets organization planning to start Smith, who was one of the worst QBs in 2025.

Garrett Wilson's Dynasty Upside Limited by Quarterback Questions

New York Jets wide receiver Garrett Wilson (knee) was limited to just seven games played in 2025 by a knee injury that landed him on Injured Reserve in November. Before getting hurt, the 25-year-old recorded 36 receptions for 395 yards and four touchdowns on 59 targets and appeared to be on his way to his fourth consecutive season with at least 1,000 receiving yards. While Wilson has been a productive player to this point in his career, his fantasy ceiling has been limited by consistently substandard supporting casts around him in New York. Wilson is expected to be fully healthy for the start of 2026 and remains the clear number one target in the Jets' passing game. However, New York is entering yet another season with an uncertain situation at quarterback, with veteran Geno Smith set to open the year as the team's starter after a brutal year with the Las Vegas Raiders in 2025. The Jets also added a pair of first-round pass-catchers in the 2026 NFL Draft in tight end Kenyon Sadiq and Omar Cooper Jr., both of whom could steal a few targets from Wilson. In dynasty formats, Wilson's production upside remains limited until the Jets find a long-term answer at quarterback.

Omar Cooper Jr. • WR • Jets

Omar Cooper Jr. to Require Some Patience in Dynasty Leagues?

New York Jets wide receiver Omar Cooper Jr. has long-term upside in dynasty fantasy football, but managers should prepare for the possibility that he doesn't break out right away as a rookie. The Jets are expected to experience some growing pains this season with Geno Smith at quarterback. Smith had a miserable season in Las Vegas last year, and we question whether he'll be able to support a fantasy-relevant season from Omar Cooper Jr. when he already has Garrett Wilson as his WR1. With that being said, Cooper has proven himself as a winning receiver since he played for the national champion Indiana Hoosiers. He also has long-term appeal in dynasty leagues, because it seems like a foregone conclusion that the Jets will spend a top pick on a quarterback next year. A talented, young quarterback could be exactly what Cooper needs to emerge as a reliable fantasy option, even if Wilson remains the top target. As a result, Cooper is the WR5 in RotoBaller's rookie rankings and the WR37 in RotoBaller's dynasty rankings.

Isaiah Davis' Dynasty Value Takes a Hit Thanks to Teammate's Extension

The New York Jets signed starting running back Breece Hall to a three-year, $45.75 million contract extension last Friday, which is not great news for the dynasty fantasy football value of fellow Jets RB Isaiah Davis. On the bright side, Davis could have a chance to take over RB2 duties in New York in 2026 in his third year in the NFL after Braelon Allen (knee) missed most of last year with an MCL injury. The 24-year-old Davis, a former fifth-round selection in 2024 out of South Dakota State, has actually been quite productive in his limited opportunities so far in his two seasons with Gang Green. He had 43 carries for 236 yards (5.5 yards per carry) and one touchdown on the ground in 16 games in 2025, adding 21 receptions for an additional 186 yards as a pass-catcher. Davis has a healthy 5.6 yard-per-carry average in his two years in the league, and he proved last year that he can contribute in the passing attack out of the backfield. Fantasy managers in dynasty leagues with Hall rostered might want to look into acquiring Davis as a handcuff. RotoBaller has Davis currently ranked as the No. 80 dynasty RB.

Braelon Allen's Dynasty Stock Takes a Hit After Teammate's Extension

New York Jets running back Braelon Allen is still the RB2 in New York heading into the 2026 season, but the 22-year-old's dynasty stock took a hit on Friday when it was announced that the Jets signed Breece Hall to a three-year, $45.75 million contract extension that makes him the third-highest-paid RB in the league. Allen suffered an MCL injury in 2025 in his second season in the NFL that limited him to four games played. He finished with just 18 carries for 76 yards and one touchdown while catching two passes for 17 yards after he rushed for 334 yards and two touchdowns in 17 games (two starts) in his rookie season in 2024. The former fourth-rounder (134th overall) in 2024 out of the University of Wisconsin could still have plenty of fantasy value if Hall were to go down with an injury, but now that Hall is under contract with the Jets for another three seasons beyond 2026, his upside in dynasty leagues will be tempered.

Jets Sign Breece Hall to Three-Year Extension Worth $45.75 Million

The New York Jets and running back Breece Hall agreed to a three-year contract extension on Friday worth up to $45.75 million, making him the league's third-highest-paid RB, multiple sources told Jordan Schultz of FOX Sports. Only the Eagles' Saquon Barkley and the 49ers' Christian McCaffrey will make more than Hall at the position on an annual basis. The 24-year-old earned himself a new deal in New York by having a career year in 2025 in his fourth year in the NFL with 1,065 rushing yards and four touchdowns on 243 carries across 16 starts. The former second-rounder in 2022 out of Iowa State also added 36 receptions for 350 yards and another score on 48 targets in the passing game despite being in one of the worst offenses in the league. He has averaged 1,453 scrimmage yards and 7.3 touchdowns per season in his four years with Gang Green. Unfortunately for Hall's fantasy ceiling, New York's offense could be atrocious yet again in 2026 with veteran QB Geno Smith expected to lead them. Because of how bad the Jets have been, he should be considered a volume-based RB2 in fantasy drafts this fall. RotoBaller has Hall ranked as the No. 19 fantasy RB.

Geno Smith • QB • Jets

Frank Reich Says Geno Smith is the "Perfect Fit" for his Offense

New York Jets offensive coordinator Frank Reich said that veteran quarterback Geno Smith is the "perfect fit" for his offense, according to Rich Cimini of ESPN. "I feel his resilience, his toughness," Reich said. The Jets swung and missed with their free-agent acquisition of QB Justin Fields last year, so this year they acquired Smith from the Las Vegas Raiders after he was one of the worst starting signal-callers in the league in 2025. Perhaps they're hoping the 35-year-old veteran can lead the Jets to the No. 1 overall pick in the 2027 draft like he did for the Raiders this year. The former second-rounder by the Jets in 2013 out of West Virginia made back-to-back Pro Bowls in 2022 and 2023 with the Seattle Seahawks, but he went 2-13 in his 15 starts for the Raiders in 2025, throwing for 3,025 yards, 19 touchdowns, and a league-high 17 interceptions. He also took the most sacks of any QB with 55. Smith will start for the Jets in Week 1, but we wouldn't be surprised if he was benched sooner rather than later. At best, he's a QB3 option in superflex fantasy leagues for the 2026 campaign despite the Jets adding some weaponry to their offense in this year's draft in the form of tight end Kenyon Sadiq and receiver Omar Cooper Jr.

Jets Offer a Contract to Russell Wilson

Free-agent quarterback Russell Wilson said the New York Jets offered him a contract after he visited their facilities last week, according to Ryan Dunleavy of The California Post. The 37-year-old former Super Bowl champion said his visit with the Jets "was great," but he's also mulling a potential opportunity in television with CBS Sports for the 2026 season. If Wilson were to sign with the Jets, it would be as a backup to veteran Geno Smith. The Jets already have rookie Cade Klubnik, Bailey Zappe, and Brady Cook in their QB room in addition to Smith. The 37-year-old 10-time Pro Bowler is nearing the end of his amazing NFL career after the Seattle Seahawks took a chance on him in the third round (75th overall) in 2012 out of Wisconsin. Since leaving Seattle following the 2021 season, Wilson hasn't had much success in Denver, Pittsburgh, and New York. He made six appearances (three starts) with the Giants last year and threw for 831 yards, three touchdowns, and three picks before being benched for young QB Jaxson Dart. At this point, a starting gig in the NFL probably isn't in the cards for Wilson.

Jets Host Russell Wilson for a Visit, Considering him as Backup Option

The New York Jets hosted veteran free-agent quarterback Russell Wilson for a visit and are considering him as an option to be Geno Smith's backup this year, a source told Zack Rosenblatt of The Athletic. Wilson, 37, is nearing the end of his career after being benched in favor of first-rounder Jaxson Dart with the New York Giants last year. In his six games (three starts) for the G-Men in 2025, Wilson completed a career-low 58% of his passes for 831 yards, three touchdowns, and three interceptions. The former third-round pick of the Seattle Seahawks in 2012 out of Wisconsin had a fantastic run in the NFL with 10 Pro Bowl appearances and a Super Bowl championship, but he is nearing the end of the line and is strictly QB depth at this point in his career. If he stays in New York and signs with the Jets for the 2026 season as a backup, Wilson won't even be on the radar in dynasty/superflex leagues.

Jets Trade Up to Select Quarterback Cade Klubnik

The New York Jets have selected Clemson quarterback prospect Cade Klubnik with the 110th overall pick in the fourth round of the 2026 NFL Draft. The Jets moved up to this slot via trade with the Cincinnati Bengals. In full, the Jets acquired the 110th and 199th picks from the Bengals in exchange for the 128th and 140th picks. Selecting Klubnik is a relatively low-risk move with upside for the Jets, whose current quarterback is Geno Smith. We don't see any path to Klubnik starting over Smith by Week 1, but the rookie could start generating some buzz if Smith struggles down the stretch this season. A three-year starter at Clemson, Klubnik finished the 2025 campaign with a 65.6% completion rate, 2,943 passing yards, 16 passing touchdowns, and six interceptions across 12 games. His stats took a major step back from 2024, when he had 36 passing touchdowns. The Jets are hoping he can return to that form, especially if he opens his career as a developmental backup.
