The Jets moved on from QB Tim Boyle after their Week 13 loss to the Atlanta Falcons. The New York Jets silenced many doubters in their 6-30 Week 14 victory against the Houston Texans. The New York Jets were dominant on Sunday; the offensive production has been the Achilleas heal for Gotham City, so the Week 14 matchup against Houston kept their playoff hopes alive.
Jets head coach Robert Saleh credits their 3rd down conversions, which helped the offense remain competitive and provided opportunities to score. Jets offensive coordinator Nathaniel Hackett opened up the offensive playbook for Zach Wilson in their Week 14 matchup against the Texans. Week 15 poses another crucial matchup against the Tua and the Miami Dolphins, a must-win game for the Jets to make the playoffs.
New York Jets Slay
New York Jets QB Zach Wilson slays in his return against the Texans despite being benched for two games. Wilson was masterful in Week 14, completing 26 passes on 41 attempts for 301 yards, 2 touchdowns, and 0 interceptions, along with 12 rushing yards on 3 carries. Wilson’s Week 14 performance was inspiring for the young quarterback, who has been scrutinized for his indecisions and stagnant approach under center. Zach Wilson and the Jets will face a tough challenge in their Week 15 matchup against the Dolphins. Wilson’s Week 14 performance is the best of the season, but his fantasy stock remains low unless he continues to repeat a similar stat line.
New York Jets WR Garrett Wilson had a great game in Sunday’s matchup against the Texans. Wilson destroyed the Texan’s secondary with 9 receptions for 108 yards and 0 touchdowns. Garrett Wilson benefited greatly from Zach Wilson’s return; despite being the Jets lead receiver, Wilson’s stat line this season has been underwhelming. The talented receiver remains a lineup lock in fantasy as Wilson looks to keep this momentum moving forward against the Miami Dolphins in Week 15.

Veteran receiver Randall Cobb slays in Week 14 with 1 reception for a 15-yard touchdown pass from Zach Wilson. Cobb was able to find space in a crowded Texans secondary, perfect timing for the veteran with his 1st touchdown of the season. Cobb is no longer a fantasy asset; he’s best viewed as the 3rd or 4th option in the Jets offensive scheme.
New York Jets RB Breece Hall slays against the Texans in Week 14. The star running back rushed for 40 yards on 10 carries while adding 86 yards on 8 receptions and 1 touchdown. Hall could not find running room against the Texans defensive unit, but the skilled back salvaged his day as an extra receiver for Zach Wilson. Hall remains a lineup lock for fantasy managers in the playoffs, with his versatility as a rusher and receiver; look for Hall to light up the scoreboard in the Week 15 matchup against the Dolphins.
Bomb
Rookie QB sensation C.J. Stroud bombed in Week 14 against the Jets. Stroud ended his day with 10 completions on 23 pass attempts for 91 yards, 0 interceptions, and 0 touchdowns. Stroud was forced to exit Sunday’s game with a concussion and was ruled ineligible to return. The Texan’s signal caller could not find his talented receivers against the Jet’s dominant defense; the young QB’s status for Week 15 is questionable until he clears concussion protocol. Fantasy managers in the playoffs should continue to monitor Stroud’s availability in case they need to find a backup starter.
Looking Ahead
The New York Jets travel to Miami to face the 9-4 Dolphins, who are coming off a devastating Week 14 loss to the Tennessee Titans. Robert Saleh and the Jets continue to display their trust in Zach Wilson as their starting Quarterback; despite a rough season, Wilson gives the Jets the best opportunity to win each week. Wilson’s performance in Week 14 is an improvement over prior weeks, and Wilson’s ability to drive the ball downfield should create plenty of scoring opportunities against the Dolphins in Week 15.
