The Jets notched one fumble recovery and a sack in Thursday's 19-3 loss to Jacksonville.

Analysis: Jets D/ST posted its second dud performance in as many weeks. These outings have come against two prolific scoring offenses, but the Jets' recent struggles on defense have been partially due to a lack of complementary support from their offense. Maligned quarterback Zach Wilson is now slated to be benched once again for Mike White, who missed the last two games with a rib injury. The Week 17 matchup against Seattle features another top-10 scoring offense, though this unit put up a season-low 10…read more

The Jets did not record a sack or force a turnover in Sunday's 20-17 loss to the Lions.

Analysis: The Jets did not come away with a sack for the first time this season. This was likely due in part to star defensive tackle Quinnen Williams (calf) missing his first game of the year. The Jets now have a short turnaround before Thursday Night Football against Jacksonville, which ranks 12th in scoring offense (23.9) after putting up 40 points against Dallas' highly-ranked defense. The Jaguars have been somewhat turnover prone with 18 in 14 games, but the takeaways have dried up for the Jets'…read more

The Jets logged three sacks and a safety in Sunday's 20-12 loss to the Bills.

Analysis: The Jets once again limited the Bills offense to its lowest scoring output of the season. Jets D/ST also recorded a safety for the second time this season with a blocked punt in the end zone during the second half. The Jets are now fifth in points per game allowed (18.7) and are tied for fifth in sacks (39). Their next game will come on Saturday against one of the hottest offenses in the league in the Lions, who have averaged 32.8 points per game over the last five weeks. Detroit has also…read more

The Jets notched two sacks and zero turnovers in Sunday's 27-22 loss to the Vikings.

Analysis: The Jets allowed 27 or more points for just the third time despite giving up a paltry 287 total yards to Minnesota. This unit also failed to force a turnover for the second time in 12 games, though they now rank 17th in takeaways (15). The Jets will now head to Buffalo for their second matchup against the division-rival Bills. Quarterback Josh Allen had one of his worst performances of the year with two interceptions and five sacks against the Jets in Week 9. While the Bills' offense is tied…read more

The Jets recorded two sacks and an interception in the 31-10 win over the Bears in Week 12.

Analysis: The Jets have taken the next step this season, as they now rank fourth with just 17.8 points allowed per game. They have also compiled 34 sacks (seventh) and 15 takeaways (10th) through 11 games, as they recorded a turnover in all but one game this year. They're tough to bench in fantasy, but they will carry significant risk this week against the Vikings, who have posted 33 or more points in three of the last five games.

The Jets recorded six sacks in the 10-3 loss to the Patriots in Week 11.

Analysis: The Jets have now recorded 32 sacks (fourth) and 14 turnovers (eighth) through 10 games. They need to be rostered in all season-long leagues, and they're an excellent option in Week 12 versus the Bears regardless of whether QB Justin Fields (knee) plays. Fields adds risk for Jets D/ST, as the Bears have scored at least 24 points in five straight games, but he has also been sacked a league-high 40 times while tossing eight interceptions.

The Jets recorded five sacks and two interceptions in the 20-17 win over the Bills in Week 9.

Analysis: The Jets have averaged 15 points allowed per game over their last five outings, and they produced seven takeaways in that stretch. This defensive unit is legitimate under head coach Robert Saleh's direction. They typically struggle against the Patriots, but there's plenty of opportunity here. The Pats have given up 17 turnovers (30th) while registering a modest 22.6 points per game (14th), so the Jets should be a solid option in season-long and DFS formats alike.

The Jets recorded six sacks and an interception in the 22-17 loss to the Patriots in Week 8.

Analysis: The Jets have produced 21 sacks (ninth) and 12 turnovers (10th) through eight games. They have given up a mere 19.9 points per game (11th), as head coach Robert Saleh has transformed this defense. It will have plenty of fantasy-relevant weeks this year, but they can't be trusted against the Bills, who rank second in the league with 29 points per game.

The Jets recorded a sack and an interception in the 16-9 win over the Broncos in Week 7.

Analysis: The Broncos have one of the worst offenses in the league, but the Jets now rank 10th in the league with 19.6 points allowed per game. They have also registered 11 takeaways (20th) and 15 sacks (15th). Their upcoming Week 8 matchup against the Patriots is quite intriguing, though. The Patriots have given up 15 turnovers -- the second-most in the league -- while averaging 22.1 points per game (15th). Whether Bailey Zappe or Mac Jones is under center, there is high upside for Jets D/ST this week.

The Jets recorded four sacks and a fumble recovery in the 27-10 win over the Packers in Week 6.

Analysis: The Jets' defense has been solid under head coach Robert Saleh, as it has forced 10 turnovers (fifth) and recorded 14 sacks (15th). They have a sneaky good matchup in Week 7 against the Broncos, who rank last in the league with just 15.2 points per game, and QB Russell Wilson has been sacked a whopping 20 times. Wilson is battling a hamstring injury and could have limited mobility this week, so the Jets have a good opportunity to force him into some mistakes.

The Jets recorded two takeaways and two sacks in the 40-17 win over the Dolphins in Week 5.

Analysis: The Jets faced rookie QB Skylar Thompson because QB Teddy Bridgewater exited on the first drive with a head injury. The Jets capitalized on the matchup, and they now rank fifth in the league with nine takeaways. The Jets D/ST won't be dependable against the Packers in Week 6, but it will be a decent DFS play considering the Packers have coughed up seven turnovers (18th) this year while scoring just 19.6 points per game (22nd).

The Jets recorded four interceptions and three sacks in the 24-20 win over the Steelers in Week 4.

Analysis: The Jets recorded just three interceptions through the first three games, but they more than doubled their total against QB Mitchell Trubisky and first-round rookie QB Kenny Pickett. They have averaged just two sacks per game, though. They'll face QB Teddy Bridgewater and the Dolphins in Week 5, and while Bridgewater is a downgrade from QB Tua Tagovailoa, WRs Tyreek Hill and Jaylen Waddle are enough to do damage no matter whose under center. Jets D/ST is a high-risk fantasy option as a result.

The Jets recorded two sacks and a fumble recovery in the 27-12 loss to the Bengals in Week 3.

Analysis: The Jets rank 26th in the league with 27 points allowed per game. They have registered five sacks and three turnovers, which isn't enough to provide fantasy viability due to their scoreboard issues. However, there's some upside in Week 4 against the Steelers, who have averaged 18 points per game (19th) and have QB Mitchell Trubisky starting. Trubisky has managed games fine, but he's liable for multiple turnovers in any given game. As a result, Jets D/ST could be a high-upside option in DFS…read more

The Jets recorded an interception and a sack in the 31-30 win over the Browns in Week 2.

Analysis: The Jets have given up 54 points through two weeks, and they have produced just two turnovers and three sacks. Their dismal pass rush is compounded by the fact that DT Quinnen Williams is battling an ankle injury. This unit has a surprisingly high ceiling in Week 3 against the Bengals, who have struggled so far. QB Joe Burrow has been sacked 13 times and has a 3:4 TD:INT ratio. There's significant risk against an offense as explosive as Cincinnati, but it's worth rolling the dice, especially in…read more

The Jets recorded two sacks and an interception in the 24-9 loss to the Ravens in Week 1.

Analysis: The Jets held QB Lamar Jackson in check, and they exceeded expectations in Week 1. They're a sneaky good play in Week 2 against QB Jacoby Brissett and the Browns. Brissett's limitations dictate the Browns to focus on the ground game, but the Jets' front seven is stout and could keep them in check. Furthermore, it lowers the Browns' ceiling, leaving enough room for error to make Jets D/ST viable in deeper formats.

The Jets ranked 30th in the league last year with 259.3 passing yards allowed per game.

Analysis: The Jets are hoping to upgrade their secondary quickly with CB Sauce Gardner -- the fourth overall pick -- and free-agent addition CB D.J. Reed (hamstring). That may be enough to lock down wide receivers, but it's worth noting that safeties Jordan Whitehead and Lamarcus Joyner are question marks. It remains to be seen whether head coach Robert Saleh can truly turn this defense around, but after a Week 1 matchup against the Ravens, they should have some fantasy streaming appeal against the…read more

The Jets finished 31st last year with 14 takeaways.

Analysis: Head coach Robert Saleh's defensive acumen couldn't salvage the Jets' lack of talent. However, this unit received reinforcements this offseason. They signed CB D.J. Reed in free agency and drafted CB Sauce Gardner fourth overall. DE Carl Lawson is back from an Achilles injury, too. Those additions likely aren't enough to make fantasy managers comfortable with this unit every week. Nevertheless, there should be select matchups where it's worth rolling the dice on Jets D/ST, especially in DFS.

The Jets finished last in the league last year with 29.6 points allowed per game.

Analysis: They also ranked 31st with just 14 turnovers and 25th with 33 sacks. They made strides this offseason toward improvement, as they drafted CB Ahmad Gardner at No. 4 in April's draft in addition to signing CB D.J. Reed to a three-year deal. DE Carl Lawson (Achilles) should be back for Week 1, as well, to help lead coach Robert Saleh's scheme. Still, there isn't much reason to be optimistic for a major improvement in 2022, and there's no reason for fantasy managers to reach for Jets D/ST in the…read more

The Jets recorded a sack and an interception in the 28-24 loss to the Buccaneers in Week 17.

Analysis: The Jets rank last in the league through 16 games with 29.8 points allowed per game and 29th with 14 takeaways. The Bills need to win this game to guarantee the AFC East title, so they won't be sending out their second-stringers. Given that they rank third in the league with 28.5 points per game, they're expected to dominate the Jets in Week 18. There is minimal upside and significant risk in starting Jets D/ST in the regular-season finale.

The Jets recorded a sack and a fumble recovery in the 26-21 win over the Jaguars in Week 16. They also returned a kick for a touchdown.

Analysis: The Braxton Berrios touchdown propelled the Jets D/ST into high-end fantasy relevance last week, but they'll need more strokes of luck in Week 17 against the Buccaneers. While the Bucs are dealing with injuries at WR and RB, WR Antonio Brown can certainly serve as the No. 1 option against the Jets' weak secondary (250 passing yards allowed per game). There's no good reason to trust Jets D/ST in any format, especially because the Bucs have scored at least 30 points in five of the last six…read more

The Jets recorded two interceptions, a fumble recovery and a sack in the 31-24 loss to the Dolphins in Week 15.

Analysis: The Jets rank last in the league with 30.7 points allowed per game, and they've forced just 12 turnovers through 14 contests. The matchup against the Jaguars is certainly favorable, as the Jags haven't scored more than 17 points since Week 6, turning the ball over 13 times in the process. While the Jets haven't shown a consistent ability to generate turnovers, they have produced 31 sacks and could get to QB Trevor Lawrence, who is averaging two sacks per game. You're still rolling the dice with…read more

The Jets recorded three sacks in the 30-9 loss to the Saints in Week 15.

Analysis: The Jets rank 31st in the league with nine takeaways, but they are tied for 15th in the league with the Packers and Broncos with 30 sacks through 13 games. The matchup is somewhat intriguing because the Dolphins have such a putrid offensive line, but QB Tua Tagovailoa has been sacked just 12 times through nine games. However, his check-down targets -- Myles Gaskin and Jaylen Waddle -- are both in COVID-19 protocol and will likley miss Week 15. There's certainly some appeal for Jets D/ST in DFS…read more

The Jets recorded two sacks in the 33-18 loss to the Eagles in Week 13.

Analysis: The Jets have given up 30.6 points allowed per game this season (the most in the league) while forcing just nine turnovers (second-fewest). It's tough to be very confident in this unit, but it does help that the Jets rank 17th with 27 sacks, just one behind the 49ers and Packers. Unfortunately, QB Taysom Hill has been sacked just twice this season. You can't trust Jets D/ST in season-long leagues, but there's some sneaky DFS upside if Hill's finger injury is worse than it appears.

The Jets posted five sacks and an interception in the 21-14 win over the Texans in Week 12.

Analysis: The Jets still rank 31st in the league with nine takeaways, but they're ranked in the middle of the pack with 25 sacks. They have an interesting matchup in Week 13 against the Eagles. QB Jalen Hurts (ankle) is optimistic he'll play, but any reduction in his mobility is a serious issue for the Eagles, who rank 12th in the league with 25.3 points per game. It'll be tough to trust the Jets in this type of matchup, but it's worth taking a flier in DFS tournaments in case Hurts can't run like he…read more

The Jets recorded an interception and no sacks in the 24-17 loss to the Dolphins in Week 11.

Analysis: The Jets have given up a league-high 32 points per game this season while ranking 30th with eight takeaways. This game could be tough to watch, as the Texans boast a league-worst 15 points per game while giving up 17 turnovers. The Jets D/ST should have a solid floor this week as a result, especially because the Texans haven't surpasses the 22-point mark since Week 1, and there is some upside with QB Tyrod Taylor under center.

The Jets posted two sacks and two takeaways in the 45-17 loss to the Bills in Week 10.

Analysis: The Jets have given up 32.9 points per game this season (most in the league) while recording just seven takeaways (29th). There's some opportunity against the Dolphins, who have posted just 17.7 points per game, but QB Tua Tagovailoa should be good to go this week. The offense is far better under Tagovailoa, and he has been sacked just eight times through six games. The Jets probably have a decent floor against this dysfunctional offense, but they don't have week-winning upside in their range…read more

The Jets recorded a sack and no turnovers in the 45-10 loss to the Colts in Week 9.

Analysis: The Jets rank last in the league with 31.4 points per game and 30th with five takeaways. The Bills are coming off an ugly 9-6 loss to the Jaguars, but they still rank fourth in the league with 29.7 points per game while coughing up just seven turnovers. Using the Jets D/ST would be taking on devastating risk with minimal reward on the other side.

The Jets recorded three sacks and an interception in the 34-31 win over the Bengals in Week 9.

Analysis: The Jets have given up at least 25 points in six straight games, and they have just four turnovers in that stretch. Colts RB Jonathan Taylor is perhaps the best pure runner in the league with 5.5 YPC so far. The Jets haven't shown proof that they can stop a player like him, as they've given up 115.1 rushing yards per game -- the 15th-most in the league. There's probably a higher floor with Jets D/ST than it appears, but the ceiling is so low that it's tough to take that risk.

The Jets recorded a sack and no turnovers in the 54-13 loss to the Patriots in Week 7.

Analysis: Week 7 was embarrassing for the Jets, and they've now given up a whopping 30.0 points per game -- the highest-rate in the league. They're banged-up as well with LBs Jamien Sherwood (Achilles) out for the year and C.J. Mosley (hamstring) uncertain for Week 8 against the Bengals. This unit has minimal upside and a catastrophic floor because the Bengals have averaged 28.0 points per contest.

The Jets forced two turnovers in the 27-20 loss to the Falcons in Week 5.

Analysis: The Jets have forced just four turnovers through five games, but they have managed to generate 13 sacks in that stretch. They'll play the Patriots for the second time this season in Week 7. Last time, the Jets lost 25-6, failed to force a turnover but notched three sacks against rookie QB Mac Jones. The Patriots rank 24th in the league with 20.9 points per game while coughing up 11 turnovers -- the fourth-most. The Jets have some upside here as a result, but the floor is deceptive, as the…read more

The Jets allowed 430 total yards and didn't force a turnover in the 27-24 win over the Titans.

Analysis: The Jets' pass defense has surprised this season by allowing just 226.2 passing yards per game, ranking as the 12th best in the league. Most likely it's because of their fierce pass rush that ranks tied for second in the league with 16 sacks. That provides a solid weekly ceiling even if the Jets have produced just two takeaways, however, they've still allowed at least 24 points in three straight games. Falcons QB Matt Ryan has been sacked eight times, so there's some upside here for the Jets…read more

The Jets allowed 344 total yards and forced a turnover in their 26-0 loss to the Jets in Week 3.

Analysis: The Jets have produced six sacks and two turnovers through three games, but they haven't allowed more than 26 points in a game. Now, they'll face the Titans, who could be without WRs A.J. Brown (hamstring) and Julio Jones (leg). RB Derrick Henry is still a lot to handle, but there could be a decent floor here for DFS purposes if the Jets' secondary holds up against the Titans' backups.

The Jets allowed 260 total yards and didn't force a turnover in the 25-6 loss to the Patriots in Week 2.

Analysis: The Jets held their own against rookie QB Mac Jones, and now they'll face potentially their toughest test yet in the Broncos, who have shown promise in the passing game with QB Teddy Bridgewater, WR Courtland Sutton and TE Noah Fant. The Jets' secondary is overperforming under head coach Robert Saleh, but we simply can't bank on much upside with this crew.

The Jets allowed 381 total yards and 19 points in Week 1's loss to the Panthers.

Analysis: The Jets also lost S Lamarcus Joyner (triceps) for the season, so their secondary is extra vulnerable heading into a Week 2 matchup against the Patriots. Even with rookie QB Mac Jones under center for the Patriots, there's some risk for the Jets' depleted secondary. Jones was sacked once and didn't cough up a turnover in Week 1 against the Dolphins, so the Jets D/ST doesn't have much upside either.

The Jets will roll out a young cornerback corps after releasing Bless Austin.

Analysis: Bryce Hall is the most experienced corner in the bunch because he has played 547 defensive snaps. Rookie CBs Michael Carter and Brandin Echols -- who were picked in the fifth and sixth rounds, respectively -- are also expected to get some action. Going up against Robby Anderson, D.J. Moore and Terrace Marshall, this could get ugly quick. Stay far away.

DE Carl Lawson tore his Achilles and has been ruled out for the season.

Analysis: Lawson didn't produce big numbers in Cincinnati, but he's a highly skilled player that was highly-coveted in free agency, evidenced by his three-year, $45 million contract this offseason. DT Quinnen Williams (foot) is a strong pass rusher, but this unit needed the firepower that Lawson brings to the table in order to make up for its dismal secondary.

The Jets added DEs Carl Lawson and Vinny Curry (undisclosed) this offseason.

Analysis: The Jets needed to make changes to their pass defense after allowing 276 yards per game through the air, but they largely neglected the secondary besides a fifth-round rookie CB and S Lamarcus Joyner. However, their pass rush receives a significant upgrade with Lawson and Curry, who isn't expected to play until Week 2. That's likely not enough, but new head coach Robert Saleh has been known to get a lot out of a little.

The Jets allowed 28.5 points per game last year -- the seventh-most in the league.

Analysis:

The Jets let up 299 total yards and forced two turnovers in the 23-16 win over the Browns in Week 16.

Analysis:

The Jets let up 303 total yards and forced a turnover in the 23-20 win over the Rams in Week 15.

Analysis:

The Jets let up 410 total yards and forced a turnover in the 40-3 loss to the Seahawks in Week 14.

Analysis:

The Jets let up 440 total yards and forced two turnovers in the 31-28 loss to the Raiders.

Analysis:

The Jets allowed 345 total yards and forced two turnovers in the 20-3 loss to the Dolphins.

Analysis:

The Jets gave up 376 total yards and forced a turnover in the 34-28 loss to the Chargers in Week 11.

Analysis:

The Jets allowed 433 total yards and didn't force a turnover in the 30-27 loss to the Patriots in Week 9.

Analysis:

The Jets allowed 496 total yards in the 35-9 loss to the Chiefs in Week 8.

Analysis: The Chiefs walked all over the Jets, as expected. This team is still highly dysfunctional and tough to trust. However, the Patriots are coming to town and have turned the ball over 12 times over their last four games, and QB Cam Newton was sacked nine times in that stretch. They rank 29th with 19.7 points per game as well. This is a high-risk play and probably should be kept of redraft rosters, but it's worth a look as a contrarian play in daily fantasy settings.

The Jets allowed 422 total yards and forced a turnover in the 18-0 loss to the Bills in Week 7.

Analysis: The Jets held their own and were actually impressive at times against the Bills, but fantasy managers shouldn't let that translate into newfound trust for the team. This is still the Jets, and they're playing the Chiefs in Week 8. The Chiefs average 31.1 points per game and have turned the ball over just five times this year. There's no upside to pair with the exorbitant amount of risk in this matchup.

The Jets allowed 302 total yards and forced two turnovers in 24-0 win over the Jets in Week 6.

Analysis: The Jets surprisingly rank ninth in the league with nine turnovers, including three multi-turnover games thus far. They held the Bills to 27 points in the season opener, forcing two fumbles and sacking QB Josh Allen twice. The Bills are coming off two straight losses -- both against last year's AFC finalists -- but they scored 30 or more points in three straight games beforehand. It's not an offense fantasy managers want to roll out defenses again, especially since all the weapons on offense…read more

The Jets allowed 496 total yards and forced a turnover in a 30-10 win over the Cardinals in Week 5.

Analysis: For a fourth straight contest, the Jets allowed 30 or more points. They have done well with turnovers and rank 12th in the league with seven through five games, but the team's pass rush is flaky and has dropped opposing QBs just seven times. Their Week 6 matchup against the Dolphins is tougher than it appears. The Dolphins average 27.6 points per game and have avoided a turnover in three of five games this year. They're fully healthy, too, and QB Ryan Fitzpatrick continues to compete at a high…read more

The Jets allowed 359 total yards and forced three turnovers in a 37-28 loss to the Broncos in Week 4.

Analysis: The Jets were picked apart by a formerly undrafted free agent, QB Brett Rypien, but did pick up three interceptions, including a pick-six, to salvage their fantasy day. They likely won't be so lucky this time around, as QB Kyler Murray can run like crazy and has an assortment of options to throw to. He has thrown five picks, but he should be able to clean that up, especially with WR DeAndre Hopkins at full health. There's definitely upside for Jets D/ST if the Cardinals don't turn things…read more

The Jets allowed 353 total yards and didn't force a turnover in Week 3's 36-7 loss to the Colts.

Analysis: This blowout doesn't fall on the Jets' defense as much as it appears, as Jets QB Sam Darnold tossed to pick-sixes. Still, the Jets did nothing for fantasy purposes, failing to sack Philip Rivers and failing to record a turnover. The Week 4 matchup is a little better against the Broncos, who have two backup QBs -- Jeff Driskel and Brett Rypien -- fighting for the starting job. The two both played in Week 3 and threw two interceptions and were sacked six times. The Broncos have plenty of weapons,…read more

The Jets allowed 359 total yards and forced a turnover in Week 2's 31-13 loss to the 49ers.

Analysis: The Jets have a solid defensive line and have been decent against the run, but they allowed an 80-yard TD run and a 55-yard rush in Week 2. Allowing homeruns is a major concern against Colts RB Jonathan Taylor, and even QB Philip Rivers has flashed consistency this year with a 77.5 completion percentage and 8.1 yards per attempt. After getting torched by the 49ers' banged-up offense, the Jets D/ST has little upside and should be avoided in fantasy circles in Week 3.

The Jets allowed 404 total yards but forced two turnovers in Week 1's 27-17 loss to the Bills.

Analysis: The Jets' linebacker corps took another hit in the season opener, as Blake Cashman suffered a groin injury and was placed on IR. LB Avery Williamson (hamstring) could miss Week 2's game versus the 49ers as well. The 49ers gained 123 yards on 25 rushes (4.9 YPC) in Week 1 and typically favor a run-heavy approach, and that will likely carry on with WR Deebo Samuel (foot) out and TE George Kittle slowed down by a knee sprain. The Jets' linebackers may not be able to handle that, so their defense…read more

LB Patrick Onwuasor (knee) was placed on injured reserve Monday and won't play Week 1 versus the Bills.

Analysis: Onwuasor was poised to make the leap and become a starting LB, but now the Bills will depend on their depth in for the first three weeks of the season. That's not to say that Avery Williamson (hamstring) and Neville Hewitt aren't capable of handling those reps, but the Bills depend on the ground game with RBs Devin Singletary and Zack Moss, while QB Josh Allen is prone to scrambling as well. It's unclear if the linebackers can keep up, and the secondary has plenty of question marks after…read more

The Jets ranked 16th in 2019 with 22.4 points allowed per game.

Analysis: The Jets' defense managed to put together a decent campaign with 21 turnovers (17th) and 35 sacks (23rd), and the sum of the parts made them a solid fantasy asset, finishing 10th in scoring. It'll be tough to repeat the success, though, as the Jets traded All-Pro SS Jamal Adams to the Seahawks and replaced him with serviceable FS Bradley McDougald. Adams is an irreplaceable player, and the Jets didn't come close to shoring up the pass rush or secondary before trading him away, so expect Jets…read more

The Jets allowed 10 points and 260 total yards to the Steelers in Week 16's win.

Analysis: The Jets were able to force two turnovers and record four sacks, so they had an admirable fantasy day. There's a similar ceiling in the season finale, as Josh Allen has been sacked on 7.7 percent of dropbacks -- the eighth-most in the league -- although their 16 turnovers are the eight-best in the league. The Bills haven't surpassed 17 points in three straight weeks, but they were up against the Ravens, Steelers and Patriots. For those playing in Week 17 season-long championships, Jets D/ST is…read more

The Jets allowed 42 points and 430 total yards in Week 15's loss to the Ravens.

Analysis: As a standard rule across all defenses, we don't read into what happened when they played the Baltimore Lamar Jacksons. But this unit has been poor across the board this year, yielding 24.5 PPG (20th), forcing just 16 turnovers (21st) and recording 30 sacks (24th). There's upside here, though, especially if Jamal Adams (ankle) is back. Steelers QB Devlin Hodges is fun but he's not good, as the Steelers have coughed up eight turnovers over the last three games he played under center, and he's…read more

The Jets allowed 21 points and 362 total yards in Week 14's win over the Dolphins.

Analysis: The Jets were able to force a turnover, but it was an overall unimpressive outing against a bottom feeder. Now, Gang Green will head to Baltimore for a Thursday night matchup against an offense that managed 44 combined points over the last two weeks despite facing the 49ers and Bills. Lamar Jackson (quadriceps) popped up on the injury report Monday, so if he's unable to play, the Ravens will roll out a similar, albeit much less-talented, Robert Griffin, who hasn't started since 2016. That would…read more

The Jets allowed 22 points and 277 total yards to the Bengals in Week 13's loss.

Analysis: The Jets afforded the Bengals their second-best offensive performance of the season. While that's ugly against a lowly team, it was the fourth straight time they allowed less than 300 total yards in a contest, and now they'll face off against the Dolphins. This isn't the slouch it was earlier in the season, and let us not forget the Jets lost to the Dolphins 26-18 in Week 9. The Dolphins have shown life since that matchup, and Ryan Fitzpatrick has averaged 300.7 passing YPG over the last three…read more

The Jets held the Raiders to three points and forced two turnovers in Week 12 win.

Analysis: The Jets shut down Derek Carr and the Raiders in astounding fashion, and they'll look to keep the engine roaring against the Bengals, who have opted to give Andy Dalton another shot under center. Dalton has been poor this year with an interception on 2.4 percent of pass attempts (14th highest rate) and been dropped on 7.9 percent of dropbacks (11th highest). Joe Mixon has been their best offensive player over the last few weeks, but the Jets lead the league with 3.0 YPC allowed and have…read more

The Jets allowed 17 points and 225 total yards to the Redskins in Week 11's win.

Analysis: It's been easy going for the Jets lately with three straight matchups against the Dolphins, Giants and Redskins, although they still allowed, on average, 23.3 PPG and forced just three total turnovers. The Raiders are coming to town for what should be steeper competition, as their running backs have posted 4.5 YPC (ranked 11th, while Derek Carr ranks seventh in the league with 8.0 YPA. The team has turned the ball over just 10 times (fourth) as well. That leaves little margin of error for a…read more

The Jets allowed 27 points and forced two turnovers in Week 10's win over the Giants.
