Jets push Week 1 into a gritty, run-first win-or-lose clash, leaning on a ground-heavy attack that churned 39-182 and kept penalties to a minimum in the first half. Garrett Wilson flashed big-play ability, Breece Hall showed burst on inside and outside runs, and the defense notched sacks while pressuring the Steelers’ QB. Rodgers’ debut was sidetracked by an injury, but the foundation—discipline, aggression, and a clearer identity—appears real for fantasy upside as the schedule turns to Buffalo.

Across the league, Justin Fields displayed tangible growth, showcasing better pocket feel and vision, while Allen Lazard’s inactive status without injury underscored Jets roster depth. The dramatic finish featured Chris Boswell’s 60-yard winner, a reminder Week 1 can tilt expectations and betting lines. Week 2 fantasy angles will hinge on how well the Jets sustain balance and how Fields’ trajectory translates into Chicago’s targets and rushing gains.
