New York Jets wide receiver Elijah Moore (concussion) was already a risky fantasy option heading into Week 5. He was able to get in full practice towards the end of the week, but was sidelined earlier due to a concussion. Nonetheless, Moore did suit up versus the Atlanta Falcons. Although, he was held without a catch on two targets in the loss. At this point, it's tough to warrant holding onto Moore after this dud. The presence of Corey Davis and Jamison Crowder make it difficult for Moore to have any value. He'll be a cut-candidate heading into the Week 6 bye.
New York Jets wide receiver Jamison Crowder was solid during his season debut last week. Sadly, he wasn't able to match that performance against the Atlanta Falcons in Week 5. He finished with four receptions on six targets for 24 yards in the loss. Those six targets were second on the team behind Corey Davis. It seems like the targets are going to be there for Crowder. Although, this offensive unit is so bad it's hard to trust either of them on a weekly basis. Crowder is worth rostering in most formats, but isn't someone who is a must-start most weeks.
New York Jets wide receiver Corey Davis put together his best game of the season in Week 4. Sadly, he was not able to carry that momentum into the Week 5 matchup with the Atlanta Falcons. Davis hauled in four of his seven targets for 45 yards in the loss. Those seven targets were a team-high, but the Jets offense isn't reliable right now. It's hard to trust Davis on a weekly basis. The good news is, Davis has 24 targets over the last three games. Fantasy managers should consider him a low-end WR3 after the Week 6 bye.
New York Jets running back Ty Johnson has been off to a slow start this season, but picked it up a bit in Week 5. He rushed four times for 12 yards and one touchdown during the loss to the Atlanta Falcons. Johnson also added two receptions for 22 yards, which is decent considering he only saw three targets. It appears Michael Carter is going to be the lead back for this offense going forward. That means, Johnson and Tevin Coleman will fight for scrapes off the bench. It's best to leave Johnson on the waiver wire as the Jets head into a bye week.
New York Jets running back Michael Carter appears to be the lead back for this offense going forward. In Week 5, Carter rushed 10 times for 38 yards and one touchdown in the loss to the Atlanta Falcons. He could've had more, but Ty Johnson vultured a one-yard score. It's also worth noting that Carter had three receptions for 20 yards in the passing game as well. He seems to be the best back out of the three in New York. Although, that doesn't mean much and he shouldn't be counted on going forward. Carter should be rostered in most formats, but looked upon as a desperation flex option.
