New York Jets sit 9 players in Week 2 preseason with Giants on tap, including top defensive and skill-position starters Jermaine Johnson, Sauce Gardner, Quinnen Williams, and Allen Lazard. Tyrod Taylor also out, along with Francisco Mauigoa and Azareye'h Thomas. The absence of Johnson and Gardner thins the edge and corner depth, while Lazard's calf tweak opens more early-down targets for other receivers. The Jets will rely on their depth chart to fill the gaps, which can boost opportunities for secondary players and risky fantasy bets in a game that will test the coaching staff’s evaluation of backups and rookies.
