New York Jets DVOA, Stats, & NFL Rankings

New York Jets running back Braelon Allen carried the ball two times for four yards and added a two-yard catch in a 37-15 loss to the Pittsburgh Steelers in Week 7. Allen has seen his workload decrease dramatically since Todd Downing took over play-calling duties from Nathaniel Hackett two weeks ago. Since the reshuffling on the coaching staff, Allen has just five carries for 12 yards. Allen remains a quality handcuff option in fantasy leagues but he should not be in starting lineups moving forward. The Jets will take on the New England Patriots in Week 8.

New York Jets running back Breece Hall carried the ball 12 times for 38 yards and a touchdown while adding six catches for 103 yards in a 37-15 loss to the Pittsburgh Steelers in Week 7. For the second consecutive week, Hall dominated the backfield touches as Braelon Allen saw just two carries in the lopsided loss to the Steelers. Hall showed his skills in the passing game on Sunday night as he wound up leading the Jets in receiving. The veteran running back is putting together a solid season, rushing for 348 yards and adding 32 catches for 307 yards and four all-purpose touchdowns through seven games. Hall will be an RB1 in fantasy when the Jets take on the New England Patriots in Week 8. He ran for 54 yards and a touchdown back when these two teams met in Week 3.

According to ESPN's Adam Schefter, "a select group of NFL teams" have contacted the Jets regarding the availability of wide receiver Garrett Wilson. With New York recently acquiring Davante Adams, there are many who believe Wilson's days with the Jets are over. However, there hasn't been any indication suggesting the team would make a move, considering he's one of the league's most promising young receivers. Although Wilson was expected to have a breakout year in 2024-25, that hasn't happened. But in all fairness, he hasn't been horrible, amassing 41 catches for 399 yards and three touchdowns. It remains to be seen if Wilson and Adams can co-exist, so the situation is worth monitoring moving ahead. For now, the 24-year-old remains a must-start for Sunday Night's meeting with the Steelers.

San Francisco 49ers kicker Anders Carlson will kick off against the Kansas City Chiefs on Sunday in Santa Clara. The younger brother of Raiders kicker Daniel Carlson will be the third kicker used by the 49ers in as many games since Jake Moody (ankle) and Matthew Wright (shoulder, back) both suffered injuries attempting to make tackles. Last season, Carlson spent his rookie year as the Green Bay Packers starting kicker from beginning to end but was cut during this year's preseason. Carlson was the 23rd-most productive kicker in fantasy but led the league in misses with 13. Any decent kicker that San Francisco puts out there is likely a decent fantasy option, given the team's offensive prowess, as seen last week with journeyman Wright's three field goals and three extra points made. Anyone streaming kickers or looking for a replacement could do worse than Carlson in Week 7.

New York Jets kicker Greg Zuerlein has struggled in 2024, making just eight of his 12 field-goal attempts, including missing two of four in a close three-point loss to the Buffalo Bills in Week 6. The Jets tried out kickers at practice earlier in the week but ultimately decided to stick with Zuerlein for at least another game as they prepare to take on the Pittsburgh Steelers on the road in Week 7. The Steelers have been tough on fantasy kickers this season, allowing just the 29th-most fantasy points per game to the position. Zuerlein settles in as a mid-range fantasy kicker in Week 7.
