New York Jets DVOA, Stats, & NFL Rankings

New York Jets wide receiver Allen Lazard will face off against the Pittsburgh Steelers on the road in Week 7's Sunday night game. Lazard has caught five touchdowns in six games this season but he is one of the biggest downgrades in fantasy after the Jets traded for Davante Adams earlier in the week. Adams should step in and instantly steal targets from Lazard, leaving the latter as a low-end flex option in fantasy heading into Week 7.

New York Jets wide receiver Garrett Wilson will face off against the Pittsburgh Steelers on the road in Week 7's Sunday night game. Wilson is coming off an extremely productive two-game stretch in which he has caught 21 of his 33 targets for 208 yards and two touchdowns. That being said, he faces increased competition for targets after the Jets added Davante Adams in a trade with the Las Vegas Raiders earlier in the week. Adams, of course, was a longtime favorite target of Aaron Rodgers when the two played together with the Green Bay Packers. Wilson downgrades to more of a WR2 in fantasy moving forward as he will not be seeing the type of target volume he did in Weeks 5 and 6. The Steelers have also been tough on fantasy wideouts in 2024, allowing the 23rd-fewest fantasy points per game to the position. Wilson should still be started in all leagues but fantasy managers should temper expectations.

New York Jets running back Braelon Allen saw just three touches in a Week 6 loss to the Buffalo Bills. He will look to bounce back against the Pittsburgh Steelers on the road in Week 7's Sunday night game. That might be tough for the rookie, however, as the Jets' changes at head coach and offensive coordinator heading into last week's game may have led to Breece Hall seeing 23 touches to Allen's three after the two had split touches much more evenly in the preceding games. Allen should still be rostered as a premium fantasy handcuff but he should not be in starting lineups in Week 7.

New York Jets running back Breece Hall turned in one of his most productive games of the season in a Week 6 loss to the Buffalo Bills, racking up 169 all-purpose yards. The coaching change at offensive coordinator ahead of Week 6 was beneficial to Hall as the Jets went away from rookie Braelon Allen, giving Hall 23 touches to Allen's three. Hall will look to stay hot against the Pittsburgh Steelers on the road in Week 7's Sunday night game. The Steelers have been tough on running backs this season, allowing just the 25th-most fantasy points per game to the position. Hall's recent usage surge plus his production in the passing game keeps him in RB1 territory in Week 7 despite the difficult matchup.

Pittsburgh Steelers head coach Mike Tomlin said on Tuesday that quarterback Russell Wilson will be "in contention" to play and potentially start on Sunday night against the New York Jets. The Athletic's Mike DeFabo writes that Justin Fields, who has led the team to a 4-2 start while Wilson rehabbed a calf strain, could still reclaim the starting gig. And even if he doesn't, the Steelers could use both Wilson and Fields in certain packages on offense. There's no guarantee Wilson will be an obvious upgrade over Fields, and he'll need to prove himself, especially as a passer. One of the biggest risks in playing Wilson over Fields is the former's lack of mobility -- twice in the last five seasons Wilson has led the league in sacks. In terms of Week 7 if Wilson starts, the Jets have the third-most sacks (20) in the league and the fifth-highest pressure rate (39.8%). Wilson will be a low-end QB2, at best, in fantasy if he starts.
