New York Jets

New York Jets quarterback Aaron Rodgers (Achilles) remained limited at Thursday's practice despite the fact that he won't play in Week 18 against the New England Patriots. The book has already been closed for Rodgers' debut season in the Big Apple, but he is at least still staying active on the practice field as he continues to rehab from Week 1's ruptured Achilles. The 40-year-old 10-time Pro Bowler should enter the 2024 season as a popular Comeback Player of the Year candidate with a clean bill of health, considering Rodgers was pushing to make an improbable late-season return before the Jets were eliminated from playoff contention in Week 15. Zach Wilson (concussion) is also out on Sunday, so Trevor Siemian will draw the starting nod under center in the regular-season finale. With a pitifully low 30.5-point implied total, this is not a game to target for DFS purposes.

New York Giants quarterback Tyrod Taylor (back) was limited in the team's practice on Thursday for the second straight day this week. It was announced earlier this week that Taylor would make his second straight start for the G-Men to close out the year in Week 18 versus the Philadelphia Eagles. We fully expect Taylor to be fine to play this weekend, but in the event the Giants play it safe and hold the veteran out, it would be rookie Tommy Devito making the start instead. For those feeling frisky in DFS, the 34-year-old Taylor could be a worthwhile, low-cost play while facing an Eagles defense that has been very generous to opposing QBs all year. On top of it, the Eagles could be resting key veterans on both sides of the ball this weekend with an eye toward getting healthier for the postseason. Taylor threw for over 300 yards with a TD and a pick in the one-point loss to the Los Angeles Rams in Week 17.

New York Jets wide receiver Allen Lazard (illness) was a full participant in Wednesday's team practice. Lazard missed last week's game against the Cleveland Browns with an illness. But he appears to be past it as he enters Week 18 against the New England Patriots fully healthy. The 28-year-old has had a rough first season with the Jets, catching just 23 passes for 311 yards and one touchdown. He also has only caught one pass since Week 11. With that in mind, Lazard should not be on anyone's fantasy radar this weekend in both season-long leagues and DFS contests.

New York Jets quarterback Aaron Rodgers (Achilles) was a limited participant in Wednesday's team practice. Rodgers continues to make strides from his Achilles injury that he suffered in Week 1 against the Buffalo Bills. However, with just one regular season game left and the Jets playing for nothing in Week 18, it's pretty obvious that the veteran quarterback will not return this year. New York activated him from the injured reserve list in Week 16 to give him more practice reps with the team. The four-time MVP should be ready to go by Training Camp next season.

New York Giants quarterback Tyrod Taylor (back) was a limited participant in Wednesday's team practice. Earlier on Wednesday, Giants head coach Brian Daboll named Taylor the official starter for Week 18 against the Philadelphia Eagles, so the back issue doesn't appear to be a serious injury. The veteran quarterback will have two more chances to upgrade his practice status before facing a pass-friendly Eagles defense. Philadelphia has allowed the most fantasy points to quarterbacks this season, making Taylor an interesting DFS play this weekend.
