Jets still searching for their WR3

Aug 25, 2020

On most practice days, the Jets are lining up with Breshad Perriman, Jamison Crowder and Jeff Smith, a former undrafted free agent with one career catch. When Perriman missed a day with knee swelling, it served as a sobering reminder: The Jets are one injury away from a full-blown crisis.

Fantasy Impact:

The Jets like to run a lot of three-WR sets and the injury to Mims is a big deal as he was supposed to be the WR3. Even if he's back soon, he'll be behind as far as learning the offense and being on the same page as QB Sam Darnold. Because of the low numbers, the Jets recently signed veteran Chris Hogan, who Gase called a "down and dirty" competitor. Hogan has looked good but he hasn't been an every-down player since 2018.

“I will be playing on Sunday. Very excited, can’t pass up playing the Packers. I will be out there for sure.”

George Kittle says he’s good to go for Sunday

Fantasy Impact:

Kittle returns to a great matchup against a Packers defense that ranks 26th in TE aFPA. He should be fired up as a high-end TE1 once again.

Per Bears head coach Matt Eberflus: Ryan Bates remains in the concussion protocol. Elijah Hicks (ankle) and D'Andre Swift (groin) won't practice.

Teven Jenkins will be limited.

Related Players: Roschon Johnson, Travis Homer

Fantasy Impact:

This is definitely a situation to keep an eye on, as Johnson would have a huge workload if Swift were to miss Week 12. Homer has three rush attempts and zero targets on the year.
