Team news: New York Jets

With a totally new regime in 2025, it likely means Aaron Rodgers won't be back.

A new GM and new head coach will probably want their own QB, Cimini's post went on to say. Cimini added that Rodgers has a good relationship with Douglas, and last week he advocated for Jeff Ulbrich - and it's hard to imagine him wanting to even be back. The Jets announced Phil Savage, the former general manager for the Browns, will take over as the interim GM.

Tyron Smith has been ruled out for Sunday. Davante Adams is on track to play.

Adams had an illness and wrist injury pop up through the week, but it seems like he'll be good to go, which places him in WR2 range as a volume play.

Davante Adams is not practicing today, Ulbrich said. He has an illness and some wrist soreness.

Adams took 13 targets for 31 yards last week, which is definitely enough to make anyone feel ill. He now has 206 yards on 38 targets over his Jets tenure, for a cool 5.42 yards per target. He's definitely getting the volume, but should be considered a moderate WR2 if he suits up.

The Jets are placing WR Allen Lazard on Injured Reserve because of a chest injury, sources say. Aaron Rodgers’ good friend and trusted target is out at least four games.

The long-awaited Mike Williams trade feels very unlikely to happen now, but that doesn't necessarily mean he's a fantasy target, either. Lazard is an easy drop anywhere he's dangling on the roster bubble, and we should see some heightened red-zone usage out of Wilson, Adams, and Tyler Conklin moving forward.

After Greg Zuerlein missed two kicks in Sunday’s loss to the Patriots, Jets interim head coach Jeff Ulbrich said that he had no regrets about sticking with Zuerlein despite several other missed kicks that have played major roles in several of the team’s losses this season.

Ulbrich’s lack of regret isn’t keeping the team from looking at other options as they head into Thursday night’s game against the Texans, the story said. Ulbrich said at a Monday press conference that the team is “going to bring the kickers in for a workout” on Tuesday and then decide who will handle the duties. Zuerlein owners may want to take notice. At the very least, this is just a possible wake-up call for Zuerlein, but it's also possible the team makes a switch before Thursday's game.

Jets HC Jeff Ulbrich confirmed that WR Davante Adams — who has missed the past three games due to a hamstring injury — is expected to play Sunday vs. the Steelers.

It shouldn't take much time for Adams to get heavily involved in the offensive gameplan, with literally hundreds of targets from Aaron Rodgers on his resume. Though this is a tough matchup against the Steelers' defense, targets should be funneled to Adams and Wilson from the get-go. Put both of them in WR2 consideration this week.

With Davante Adams in, another Jets receiver will be the odd man out.

And the odd man out, not surprisingly, will be Mike Williams.

Per a league source, the Jets will attempt to trade the veteran wideout who was signed in the offseason to a one-year deal.

Williams and Aaron Rodgers have yet to click, the story pointed out. Through six games, he has 17 targets, 10 catches, and 145 yards. We speculated this could be the end of the line for Williams in New York after the Adams trade news broke. Williams had a drop on MNF, and broke off his pass route on the play that became the game-sealing interception, which Rodgers called him out for. Adams and Wilson are locked in as the team's top-two WRs with Lazard the WR3.

San Francisco 49ers are signing former Packers K Anders Carlson to their practice squad, source said.

The Niners are adding some insurance after Wright injured his shoulder last week, the post went on to say. Moody is also dealing with an ankle injury, so it's possible Carlson is pressed into duty for Week 7.

The Raiders are completing a trade of star WR Davante Adams to the Jets, sources say.

This seemed like just a matter of time, and finally Adams is back with his good friend Rodgers. The deal was for a third round pick, according to other reports. Adams and Rodgers are very familiar with one another, and it should make for a smooth transition. It's possible Adams plays in Week 7. It's likely going to be a hit to Wilson's fantasy stock, just when Rodgers and Wilson were getting things going, too. There's a report also out today that Williams ran the wrong route in the MNF loss, and was called out by Rodgers after it resulted in an interception. The addition of Adams likely means Williams takes a big backseat in the offense, and it's even possible he gets moved before the deadline at this point. As for the Raiders, Bowers could be the focal point of this offense going forward as Meyers, Tucker and Turner battle it out to have fantasy relevance at WR. It may take some time for a pecking order to develop here, so anyone hurting for WR help can take a flier on at least Tucker and Turner, who may be on your wire.

Raiders WR Davante Adams (hamstring) is not expected to play this week vs. Steelers, per sources.

Related Players: Jakobi Meyers, Tre Tucker, Brock Bowers

No surprise here, but at least we get the news early in the week. Meyers and Bowers look to benefit the most from Adams' absence (and eventual trade) and should be considered respective WR2 and TE1s.
