New York Jets DVOA, Stats, & NFL Rankings

New York Jets running back Braelon Allen had a big afternoon in his team's win over the Tennessee Titans in Week 2, finding the end zone twice in the victory. Allen will look to keep it going in Week 3's Thursday night game against the New England Patriots. The Patriots are allowing the 11th-fewest fantasy points per game to running backs through two weeks but they have given up two rushing touchdowns already. Allen's workload could fluctuate from week to week as he is still the backup behind Breece Hall but he is at least on the radar as an RB3/flex option heading into Week 3.

New York Jets running back Breece Hall found the end zone for the second straight game in a Week 2 win over the Tennessee Titans. He will look to extend that streak at home against the New England Patriots in Week 3's Thursday night game. Hall will have his work cut out for him against the Pats as their defense is allowing the 11th-fewest fantasy points per game to fantasy running backs through the first two weeks of the season. They have yet to allow a running back to top 44 rushing yards against them, although they have allowed two rushing touchdowns thus far. Hall has been productive in the passing game this season with 12 catches for 91 yards and has shown a nose for the end zone thus far, making him a high-end RB1 heading into Week 3.

New York Jets quarterback Aaron Rodgers has thrown for 343 yards, three touchdowns, and one interception through the first two games of the season but has yet to throw for more than 176 passing yards in a contest. He will look to change that at home against the New England Patriots in Week 3's Thursday night game. The Patriots have been tough against opposing quarterbacks through two games, having allowed just one passing touchdown thus far. That being said, Rodgers is a talented enough quarterback to overcome difficult matchups but he still settles in as a mid-range QB2 heading into Week 3.

The Buffalo Bills brought in free-agent kickers Anders Carlson and Cade York for workouts, according to NFL Network's Tom Pelissero. Bills starting kicker Tyler Bass has made three of four field-goal attempts so far this season, but the team is looking at other options after Bass missed by a wide margin on his lone failed attempt. Bass has also struggled with the new kickoff at times this season. Carlson struggled in his rookie season last year with the Green Bay Packers, and York had stints with the Cleveland Browns and Washington Commanders.

The New York Giants are signing veteran kicker Greg Joseph to their active roster on Tuesday from the Detroit Lions' practice squad, according to his agent. Regular Giants kicker Graham Gano (hamstring) was injured early in the Week 2 loss to the division-rival Washington Commanders and will miss a "few weeks," prompting the Giants to add Joseph to their roster this week. Gano's injury ended up being big for the G-Men on Sunday, as punter Jamie Gillan missed his lone extra-point try and the Giants failed on their two two-point conversion tries in what ended up being a three-point loss. Joseph now seems likely to kick for New York in Week 3 against the Cleveland Browns and then probably also the following Thursday night in Week 4 against the Dallas Cowboys. Joseph lost the kicking battle in Green Bay in training camp and has made 82.6% of his career kicks in five seasons. It's best to avoid him in Week 3.
