New York Jets news, rumors and injuriesJets | Bilal Powell to play vs. Detroit Thu, 17 Aug 2017 15:38:48 -0700 New York Jets RB Bilal Powell (neck) will play in the preseason game against the Detroit Lions Saturday, Aug. 19. Fantasy Tip: Powell missed some time because of a neck injury but will receive some playing time against the Lions. Powell will be sharing work with Matt Forte this season but should receive a majority of the touches. He can be considered a low-end No. 2 or a No. 3 running back in fantasy leagues. Comment () | Share: Jets | Lorenzo Mauldin aggravates injury Thu, 17 Aug 2017 15:27:27 -0700 New York Jets LB Lorenzo Mauldin (back) did not participate in practice Thursday, Aug. 17, because he aggravated a back injury and will miss the preseason game against the Detroit Lions Saturday, Aug. 19. Comment () | Share: Jets | Two Jets QBs split snaps Thu, 17 Aug 2017 15:16:37 -0700 New York Jets QBs Josh McCown and Christian Hackenberg split snaps with the first-team offense during practice Thursday, Aug. 17. Fantasy Tip: McCown and Hackenberg appears to be competing for the starting quarterback with McCown probably having an edge because of his experience. Owners in all fantasy leagues should avoid the winner of this competition. Comment () | Share: Jets | Quincy Enunwa to have surgery soon Thu, 17 Aug 2017 13:19:11 -0700 New York Jets WR Quincy Enunwa (neck) is expected to undergo surgery on his neck sometime next week. Enunwa had hoped to avoid surgery after receiving a second opinion. Fantasy Tip: With Enunwa out for the season, Robby Anderson is the No. 1 wide receiver for the Jets heading into 2017. He has sleeper written all over him if he can stay healthy as the Jets will indubitably be forced to pass a lot this season. Take a chance on Anderson in the later rounds of fantasy drafts. Comment () | Share: Jets | Matt Forte won't play Saturday Thu, 17 Aug 2017 12:03:08 -0700 New York Jets WRB Matt Forte (hamstring) will not practice Thursday, Aug. 17, and will not be playing in the Jets' second preseason game Saturday, Aug. 19. Fantasy Tip: The nagging hamstring injury is becoming somewhat of a concern for the 31-year-old running back. It doesn't seem to be serious enough for him to miss regular season time, but it should be monitored. Bilal Powell is the running back to own on the Jets anyway. Forte is no more than a flex consideration at this point in his career. Comment () | Share: Jets | Marquess Wilson sits out again Wed, 16 Aug 2017 16:10:54 -0700 New York Jets WR Marquess Wilson (hip) missed his second consecutive practice Wednesday, Aug. 16. Comment () | Share: Jets | Full practice for Bilal Powell Wed, 16 Aug 2017 16:06:26 -0700 New York Jets RB Bilal Powell (neck) fully participated in practice Wednesday, Aug. 16. Fantasy Tip: Powell appears to be recovered from his neck injury and could see some playing time in the second preseason game. He probably will see most of the snaps at running back this season and will also be involved in the passing game. Powell can be a low-end No. 2 running back in point-per-receptions leagues. Comment () | Share: Jets | Matt Forte remains limited Wed, 16 Aug 2017 15:58:50 -0700 New York Jets RB Matt Forte (hamstring) was limited to individual drills during practice Wednesday, Aug. 16, and is not expected to play in the preseason game against the Detroit Lions Saturday, Aug. 19. Fantasy Tip: The Jets likely are taking things slow with Forte, and it appears he has a chance to be ready for the start of the regular season. He is expected to share snaps with Bilal Powell this season but may serve as the No. 2 running back for the Jets. Owners can consider Forte a No. 3 or No. 4 running back in most leagues. Comment () | Share: Jets | Lucky Whitehead needs surgery Wed, 16 Aug 2017 14:14:14 -0700 New York Jets WR Lucky Whitehead (foot) will undergo surgery to repair his broken left foot. He could return at some point this season, however. Comment () | Share: Jets | Kenbrell Thompkins back with Jets Wed, 16 Aug 2017 12:18:37 -0700 Free-agent WR Kenbrell Thompkins (Jets) re-signed with the New York Jets Wednesday, Aug. 16. S Doug Middleton (undisclosed) was waived/injured in a corresponding move. Comment () | Share: Jets | Lucky Whitehead out 4-6 weeks Wed, 16 Aug 2017 07:19:18 -0700 Updating a previous report, New York Jets WR Lucky Whitehead (foot) is expected to miss four to six weeks, according to a source. He'll receive a second opinion before determining if surgery on his broken foot is necessary. Comment () | Share: Jets | Bilal Powell participates in practice Tue, 15 Aug 2017 13:43:17 -0700 New York Jets RB Bilal Powell (neck) participated in 7-on-7 drills Tuesday, Aug. 15, after being absent from practice for about a week and a half. Fantasy Tip: Powell is the Jets' running back to own this year, even if Matt Forte is healthy. Powell was a PPR machine in 2016 and there's no reason he can't be the same in 2017, especially in New York's abysmal offense that may be forced to pass a lot. Comment () | Share: Jets | Lucky Whitehead has broken foot Tue, 15 Aug 2017 13:28:27 -0700 New York Jets WR Lucky Whitehead (foot) will be out for an extended period of time with a broken foot, according to head coach Todd Bowles. It is unclear at this point if Whitehead will need surgery. Comment () | Share: Jets | Bilal Powell, Matt Forte limited Mon, 14 Aug 2017 15:30:08 -0700 New York Jets RBs Bilal Powell (neck) and RB Matt Forte (hamstring) were limited to positional drills during practice Monday, Aug. 14. Fantasy Tip: It appears that Powell and Forte are making progress but they probably will miss the second preseason game. Both have a good chance to be ready for the start of the regular season, but owners will need to monitor the situation. Powell could receive more of the snaps at running back this season, but Forte will also be involved in the offense. Powell can be a low-end No. 2 or a No. 3 running back, while Forte is more of a No. 3 back. Comment () | Share: Jets | Lucky Whitehead suffers injury Mon, 14 Aug 2017 15:26:17 -0700 New York Jets WR Lucky Whitehead (foot) left practice early Monday, Aug. 14, because of a foot injury.
