Week 10 was considered a make-or-break game for the New York Jets and Gotham City. The Las Vegas Raiders are 2-0 under interim Coach Antonio Pierce after defeating Zach Wilson and the New York Jets at home with a 12-16 score on Sunday night. The New York Jets are now 5-5 on the season as the offense continues to struggle to finish drives and score touchdowns. The Jets held the lead for most of the game but were unable to limit the Raiders’ reignited offense in the second half. Week 11 poses another tough challenge as the Jets travel up north to face division rivals Josh Allen and the Buffalo Bills.
New York Jets Slay
Kicker Greg “The Leg” Zuerlein slays in Week 10, connecting on all 4 attempted field goals with his longest kick from 53 yards. Once again, Zuerlien continues to perform at a high level for the Jets. Zuerlein is responsible for the Jet’s 12 points despite their offensive woes and remains a stud in fantasy leagues for anyone looking for a kicker.
The New York Jets’ defensive unit continues to slay in their Week 10 matchup against the Las Vegas Raiders. Masterful performances by DT Quinnen Williams, 0.5 sacks; DT Soloman Thomas, 1.0 sacks, DE John Franklin-Myers 1.0 sacks, LB Jermaine Johnson, 0.5 sacks, and Safety Jordan Whitehead, 1 interception, held their opponent to 274 yards of total offense in Week 10. The Jets defense was perfect against the Raiders despite allowing 16 points. The Jet’s defense continues to keep the team afloat, and fantasy managers should feel confident starting this unit in their Week 11 matchup against the Buffalo Bills.
New York Jets wide receiver Garrett Wilson performed well in Week 10 despite the Jets’ offensive struggles on Sunday. Wilson’s presence was felt in Week 10, finishing his night with 93 yards on 9 receptions and 0 touchdowns. Wilson has been a stud this season despite not scoring a touchdown since Week 2. Wilson remains a must-start in fantasy leagues. However, the talented receiver’s ceiling remains capped due to QB Zach Wilson’s shortcomings under center.

Raiders rookie QB Aidan O’Connell was able to get the win against the Jets in Week 10, completing 16 of 27 pass attempts for 153 yards, 1 interception, and 1 touchdown. O’Connell managed the game well, connecting with star WR Davante Adams most of the night. With QB Jimmy Garoppolo’s role in the Raiders’ offensive scheme now in jeopardy, O’Connell has emerged as a viable streaming option for fantasy managers in bye weeks.
Veteran WR Davante Adams slays against Gotham City in Week 10 with 93 yards on 6 catches and no touchdowns. Adams has been the topic of conversation in this Raiders team after voicing his displeasure with his role, blaming QB Jimmy Garoppolo and former Raiders head coach Josh McDaniel as the cause. Adams remains an elite receiver in fantasy, even with rookie QB Aidan O’Connell now under center. Adams remains a lineup lock for his Week 11 matchup against the Miami Dolphins.
Las Vegas Raiders RB Josh Jacobs slays against the Jets with 116 rushing yards on 27 carries. Jacobs averaged a modest 3.4 yards on each run against a stout Jets defense. Jacobs continues to perform well despite not scoring a touchdown in Week 10, and fantasy managers should continue to start Jacobs with the Raiders passing game taking a step back in recent weeks.
New York Jets Bomb
New York Jets RB Breece Hall bombs in Week 10 as the offensive scheme focused on the passing game against the Raiders. Hall carried the ball 13 times for 54 yards, averaging a healthy 13.4 yards per carry with 3 receptions for an additional 47 yards. Wilson’s performance had a minimal impact in Week 10, but he should remain a viable RB option in fantasy leagues in a Week 11 matchup against the Bills.
Jets QB Zach Wilson bombs in Week 10 despite playing well, competing 23 of 39 pass attempts for 263 yards, 54 rushing yards on 4 carries, 0 touchdowns, and 1 interception against the Raiders. Zach Wilson’s Week 10 stats are not terrible by any means, however, Wilson’s inability to score in the red zone remains the Achilles’ heel of the Jets’ season. Wilson could not complete several promising drives in Week 10, with several offensive penalties limiting possible red zone conversions.
Wilson’s lack of urgency to find open receivers and avoid pressure has become frustrating in critical moments of Sunday’s matchup. Jets head coach Robert Saleh continues to acknowledge Wilson’s performances, suggesting Wilson is not the only one to blame for their inconsistent offense. In Wilson’s last two games, the QB has a 0-2 record, has been sacked 10 times, has 0 touchdowns, and has 526 yards of total offense. Wilson’s fantasy ceiling is limited, and he should only be in lineups if he begins to capitalize on red zone opportunities.
Robert Saleh is asked if the Jets are going to make any changes offensively after this week:
