Jets fans brace for another tough stretch as a rough start under Aaron Glenn sustains, and fantasy managers scour the Week 5 board. Breece Hall flashes burst after the Dolphins defeat, but the offense remains uneven and backfield depth is tested by Braelon Allen’s knee injury. Garrett Wilson and Sauce Gardner offer playmaking upside, yet discipline and game tempo linger as questions. The Lions’ 2021 comparison hints at systemic fixes, while the Cowboys loom. Targeting efficient Jets assets with cautious expectations could pay off in leverage spots as Fields and co. adjust.

Jets sign Liam Fornadel to the practice squad and cut Ben Niemann after Monday’s loss to Miami, signaling a depth-focused tweak on offense and a veteran presence at linebacker without a major roster overhaul. Fornadel, a James Madison product with limited NFL game action and past stints with the Patriots, DC Defenders, and Winnipeg, returns to the fold on the practice squad. Niemann, a seven-year veteran with 103 games and a Super Bowl ring with Kansas City, exits the active cycle to the practice squad, preserving a veteran option in the pipeline. The moves emphasize depth building rather than immediate rotation changes, as the Jets assess OL reliability and LB depth in the wake of a tough Week 4 result.
