| | New York Jets running back Zonovan Knight (ankle) is off the injury report after Monday's walkthrough. The team plays on Thursday, so the designation was an estimate, but not including the 21-year-old would indicate they expect him to be active against the Jaguars. The rookie had a brutal performance against the Lions on Sunday, rushing the ball 13 times for 23 yards without a target. The matchup against Jacksonville is more favorable. They are giving up the eighth-most points to tailbacks on the year. Michael Carter is also taking away work, but the main factor will be the starting quarterback. If Mike White (ribs) plays, it will boost the offense and provide more confidence in Knight, but if he's out, the entire backfield becomes risky. |
| | New York Jets wide receiver Corey Davis (concussion) was limited in practice on Monday's walkthrough. The team plays on Thursday, so the designation was an estimate, but it's a positive sign for the 27-year-old after missing all of last week's practices. The emergence of Garrett Wilson has forced the veteran to split time with sophomore Elijah Moore, who has seen a rise in production with him out. The other concern for the receiving corps is the injury to quarterback Mike White (ribs), who missed their Week 15 loss to the Lions and is doubtful to face the Jaguars this week. With Zach Wilson at the helm, Davis would be a low-upside flex option if he's active. |
| | The New York Jets officially ruled quarterback Mike White (ribs) out for Thursday night's game against the Jacksonville Jaguars to kick off Week 16 action. As a result, Zach Wilson will make his second straight start with the team's playoff hopes firmly on the line. In his first start since Week 11, Wilson went 18-for-35 for 317 yards, two touchdowns and one interception in the loss to the Detroit Lions in Week 15. There were some things that he could have done better, but all in all, it was one of the second-year signal-caller's best performances of his young career. He'll have a chance to gain more momentum in a good matchup against the Jaguars defense this week, but fantasy managers should consider him an option only in two-QB leagues. If Wilson looks good again in Week 16, the Jets could have a tough decision to make once White is healed from his rib injuries. |
