New York Jets sit 0-5 as a season defined by special-teams turmoil and roster churn. Week 1’s fumble by Gipson cost a likely win and led to his exit, while Week 4’s Williams misplays kept stinging the unit. The pattern persists as the team battles to stabilize kick returns and field-position battles, with coaching and execution under intense scrutiny.

Fantasy takeaway: Jets return games remain volatile and unreliable for fantasy points. Until the unit steadies, avoid Jets returners and kicker options, and monitor roster moves for any clear roles emerging on special teams. The Jets’ path to upside hinges on stabilizing execution and minimizing killer errors in upcoming weeks.

Jets coach Aaron Glenn tightened the screws on special teams, waiving Isaiah Williams after a second-half kickoff fumble and a mis-timed fair catch at the Jets’ own 3-yard line in a loss to Miami.

Xavier Gipson was cut in Week 1, leaving return duties to Avery Williams or Isaiah Davis against Dallas. Mykal Walker was promoted from the practice squad to bolster the roster. With Kene Nwangwu sidelined by a hamstring and Braelon Allen out two months, New York must cobble a return plan and lean on Dean Clark’s depth.
