New York Jets kicker Greg Zuerlein missed two of his kicks in his Jets debut, a Week 1 loss to the Baltimore Ravens.

Tyler Conklin Scores A Touchdown In A Week 1 Loss

New York Jets tight end Tyler Conklin scored the only Jets touchdown in a Week 1 loss to the Baltimore Ravens. Conklin was targeted seven times, making four catches for 14 yards and the one score.

Braxton Berrios Makes Five Catches In Week 1

New York Jets wide receiver Braxton Berrios was targeted six times in a Week 1 loss to the Baltimore Ravens, making five catches for 37 yards. Jets quarterback Joe Flacco, constantly under duress throughout the game, attempted 59 passes in this one, so there may be fewer targets to go around in other games. Still, […]

Elijah Moore Catches Five Passes In A Week 1 Loss

New York Jets wide receiver Elijah Moore made five catches in a Week 1 loss to the Baltimore Ravens. Moore was targeted on seven of quarterback Joe Flacco's 59 pass attempts, and gained a total of 49 yards on his five grabs. Flacco missed Moore when he was open twice in this game, so he […]

Garrett Wilson Catches Four Passes In His NFL Debut

New York Jets rookie wide receiver Garrett Wilson made four catches in his first NFL game, a Week 1 loss to the Baltimore Ravens. Wilson was targeted eight times, with his four catches totaling 52 yards. Due to negative game script from almost the first whistle, Jets quarterback Joe Flacco ended up attempting 59 passes. […]

Corey Davis Leads The Jets Receivers In Week 1

New York Jets wide receiver Corey Davis led all Jets wide receivers in catches, targets, and yards in a Week 1 loss to the Baltimore Ravens. Davis was targeted nine times, catching six of them for 77 yards. Davis was in on most two-wide receiver sets, which bodes well for his fantasy prospects moving forward. […]

Breece Hall Gets A Dozen Touches In His NFL Debut

New York Jets rookie running back Breece Hall ran the ball six times in a Week 1 loss to the Baltimore Ravens. His six rushing attempts totaled 23 yards, and he caught six of 10 targets for another 38 yards. Hall was clearly running as the RB2 behind starter Michael Carter, but Hall got a […]

Michael Carter Works As The Clear RB1 In Week 1

New York Jets running back Michael Carter worked as the clear RB1 ahead of rookie Breece Hall in a Week 1 loss to the Baltimore Ravens. Carter ran the ball 10 times for 60 yards and was targeted nine times, catching seven passes for 40 more yards. Carter looked good for most of the game […]

Joe Flacco Throws 59 Times In Week 1

Closers and Saves Waiver Wire Report for Fantasy Baseball - Week 22

It's Week 1 of football season, which is exciting here at Rotoballer for many reasons! One specific reason, here at Closers and Saves Report, is because Week 1 of football means Week 1 of the fantasy playoffs is very very soon. Some leagues with expanded playoffs already started, but by next week, it seems safe […]

Greg Zuerlein Not A Great Week 1 Option

New York Jets kicker Greg Zuerlein is not a viable starting option in Week 1 lineups. While kicker is the world's most unpredictable fantasy position outside of the very top tier, Zuerlein seems less likely than most other kickers to make an impact in Week 1. With the Jets starting their season with a backup […]

Tyler Conklin Could Surprise In Week 1

New York Jets tight end Tyler Conklin could be one of the more surprising fantasy assets in Week 1. Conklin has gone undrafted in many leagues but is currently atop the tight end depth chart for the Jets. They also signed C.J. Uzomah and drafted Jeremy Ruckert, but it's been Conklin that has impressed the […]

Corey Davis Looks To Regain Relevance In Week 1

New York Jets wide receiver Corey Davis will look to regain fantasy relevance in a Week 1 matchup against the Baltimore Ravens. Davis did well in bursts with Zach Wilson under center last year, but he will be working with Joe Flacco for at least the first four games of the season. He will also […]

Garrett Wilson Has Rookie-Year Upside

New York Jets rookie wide receiver Garrett Wilson has some big upside heading into a Week 1 matchup against the Baltimore Ravens. Wilson reportedly developed a solid rapport with quarterback Joe Flacco, who will start at least the first four games of the season for the Jets. While Wilson did deal with some drops in […]

Elijah Moore Looks For A Quick Start In Week 1

New York Jets wide receiver Elijah Moore should serve as the WR1 for Joe Flacco and the Jets in Week 1 against the Baltimore Ravens. While he was forced to deal with some of the worst quarterback play in the NFL last season, Moore still put up excellent numbers, including over 16 fantasy points per […]

Michael Carter Still Relevant, At Least For Week 1

New York Jets running back Michael Carter saw his fantasy stock drop precipitously when the Jets used their second-round pick on three-down back Breece Hall. Carter was set to go into the season as the Jets RB1, but he will now be part of a timeshare, at best, and a change-of-pace/backup option at worst. At […]

Breece Hall A Classic Floor-Ceiling Play In Week 1

New York Jets rookie running back Breece Hall is a classic example of a floor-ceiling/boom-bust option in Week 1 against the Baltimore Ravens. Hall has the elite three-down skillset to be a player who doesn't need to leave the field when his team is on offense. His draft status (top of round 2) also indicates […]

Dalton Schultz Should Start A Huge Season In Week 1

Dallas Cowboys tight end Dalton Schultz should get off to a strong start in Week 1 of what could be a top-tier TE season. Schultz was the overall TE5 in fantasy last season, and now he has ascended to what could basically be the WR2 position on the Cowboys offense. With only CeeDee Lamb clearly […]

CeeDee Lamb Looks To Get Off To A Hot Start In Week 1

Dallas Cowboys wide receiver CeeDee Lamb is primed to take the next step into alpha WR1 status, and that journey starts in Week 1 against the Tampa Bay Bucs. Lamb was already very impressive in 2021, finishing 13th in yards per route run and excellent after the catch (fifth in missed tackles). This season, he […]

Tony Pollard Set For A Bigger Role In Week 1

Dallas Cowboys running back Tony Pollard is a solid option in Week 1 lineups against the Tampa Bay Bucs. Pollard has outright league-winning upside if Ezekiel Elliott misses time, but Pollard is supposed to be in much more of a 1A/1B situation with Elliott this season as opposed to his previous backup/pass catching role. Pollard […]

Ezekiel Elliott Should Get Off To A Decent Start In Week 1

Dallas Cowboys running back Ezekiel Elliott should get off to a decent start in Week 1 against the Tampa Bay Bucs. The days of Elliott being an unquestioned top-tier fantasy running back are likely over, but he should still be able to put up solid runs as the 1A in the Cowboys backfield alongside Tony […]

Dak Prescott Set For A Solid Week 1

Dallas Cowboys quarterback Dak Prescott makes for a solid starting QB option in Week 1 against the Tampa Bay Bucs. Prescott was the QB9 in fantasy scoring last season and should be in for a similar season again in 2022. He ran the ball much less last season, but with a diminished offensive line, he […]

Closers and Saves Waiver Wire Report for Fantasy Baseball - Week 21

We're another week closer to the playoffs so fantasy and real life teams are starting to freak out just a bit. Five games back in July is still very much "in it" but those same five games back in September sure feels like being on the outside looking in. A few division races seem like […]

Closers and Saves Waiver Wire Report for Fantasy Baseball - Week 20

Out of all the weeks in baseball, this was certainly one of them. One bullpen that recently became a mess is becoming more of a mess, another bullpen that's been a mess almost all year continues to be, and finally, a bullpen that's been a mess might have just started cleaning things up. As we […]

Breece Hall Carries Four Times On Monday

New York Jets rookie running back Breece Hall carried the ball four times in Monday's preseason game, gaining just one yard. The Jets rested every projected offensive starter, including running back Michael Carter. Hall started and played with the second-team offense, but didn't do too much. He hasn't done a lot to show that he […]

Closers and Saves Waiver Wire Report for Fantasy Baseball - Week 19

The playoffs are coming! The playoffs are coming! While Major League Baseball's playoffs are still a ways away, fantasy playoffs are rapidly approaching. Some leagues are kicking things off next week, while all fantasy managers are at least starting to get nervous and look ahead. There were some key changes in a few bullpens this […]

Michael Carter Gets The Nominal Start On Friday

New York Jets running back Michael Carter got the nominal start in Friday's preseason game against the Philadelphia Eagles. Carter ended up running the ball three times for five yards and adding one catch for seven yards. Carter worked with the first team offense until quarterback Zach Wilson was forced to leave the game with […]

Breece Hall Gets Five Carries On Friday

New York Jets rookie running back Breece Hall got five carries in Friday's preseason game, gaining 15 yards. Hall was listed third on the Jets running back depth chart, and played behind starter Michael Carter. Carter and Hall both worked with the first team offense before quarterback Zach Wilson left with a knee injury. Opening […]

Closers and Saves Waiver Wire Report for Fantasy Baseball - Week 18

The trade deadline dust has settled, and we're still not over it here at RotoBaller. Those were some wild days leading up to what was a really wild Tuesday! Bullpens across the league were affected, and while some of the changes were obvious, others were a little less clear and needed time to sort themselves […]

Closers and Saves Waiver Wire Report - MLB Bullpens Affected by Trade Deadline Moves

Now that we've had a few days to let the dust settle: WOW! That was a wild trade deadline, folks. We had what many people are saying was the biggest trade in sports history. We had a first-place team seemingly sell one of their best assets. We had another first-place team trade from a position […]
