Injury updates and roster movement set the tone as the Jets plot a steady path forward. Four players — Garrett, Stiggers, Cam Jones and Joshua Reynolds — are expected out, with Michael Carter in protocol but practicing, a sign the depth chart will be tested this week. The team already rode back-to-back wins and is leaning into Rico’s hot run game, while Bryce Young remains the focal point on the opponent’s side and T-Mac has emerged as a trusted target. Derrick Brown and Jaycee Horn anchor a defense that must continue to tighten up, especially against penalties and turnovers.

The coaching staff treats every week like a chess match, balancing Justin’s potential QB involvement with a ground game that can adapt to how defenses attack. Amid progress talk, trade rumors swirl around Breece Hall, underscoring how depth and playmaking will shape fantasy output as the season advances.
