Pro Football Focus’ final grades show the New York Jets’ Week 1 offense facing a rough debut against Pittsburgh. Among the five lowest offensive grades, Josh Reynolds graded 58.2, Mason Taylor 56.1, Arian Smith 54.3, Braelon Allen 49.9, and John Simpson 48.1, all with at least six snaps. The Jets’ unit struggled to sustain clean plays, especially up front and in spacing for yards after catch. Fantasy managers should monitor how these players rebound as the Jets adjust game plan and usage against upcoming opponents.

The Jets’ Week 1 spotlight against Pittsburgh centers on Justin Fields steering a reshaped offense, with Garrett Wilson still the top target but Arian Smith pushing for outside snaps as a mystery X-factor. Rookie Armand Membou faces a brutal test against T.J. Watt, while Fields’ ability to maneuver a revamped line and new staff will dictate early-season momentum. If Smith proves reliable and Membou can neutralize Watt, New York has a path to a more diversified attack beyond one-dimensionality.

Rodgers’ exit hangs over the optimism, but the Week 1 matchup will reveal whether the new roster can translate on the field. Fields’ rushing floor and Wilson’s target share will largely determine fantasy value, with Smith’s ceiling rising as a genuine breakout if he avoids drops and earns regular outside routes.
