- Just the Jets' Luck
The Jets are so f*cking lucky, baby!
Well, kind of.
I know they haven't won a playoff game since 2010. And there was that whole Aaron Rodgers thing. And now they have Geno Smith at QB, who is coming off a career-high in INTs … Which also led the league in INTs …
And the Jets did only win three games last season. Jeez, and the Jets ranked dead last in team passing yards in 2025?
But like I said. The Jets are lucky, because they secured Breece Hall for another three years.
With Hall's $45.7M extension on Friday, the Jets keep arguably their strongest offensive weapon on the roster, one who just led the team in TDs in 2025. (It was just 5, but considering only 14% of the Jets' drives resulted in a TD in 2025, 5 ain't too bad!)
While this isn't the most ideal landing spot for Hall for fantasy purposes, given the Jets' offensive woes, it is worth noting the success Hall had on a team that, otherwise, wasn't very successful:
T-11th in rushing attempts (243)
15th in rushing yards (1,065)
2025 was his first 1,000+-rushing-yard season
17.4 touches per game
13.0 fantasy ppg in PPR
It's also worth noting that the Jets did draft Geno some help in April, taking both TE Kenyon Sadiq and WR Omar Cooper in the first round. But Hall is FL's consensus RB16 for a reason.
The Jets saw most of their success on the ground in 2025, and they're going to have to keep getting Breece the ball.
I'm just trying to figure out if these are happy tears.

How High Is CeeDee Lamb’s 2026 Ceiling?
CeeDee Lamb's last four season-long finishes in PPR points per game: WR7, WR1, WR7 and most recently WR12. Of course, George Pickens squeezed targets a bit more than usual in 2025. Lamb still led the way in targets (116 vs. 99) and PPR points (16.6 vs. 16.1) during their 12 full games together, but the competition is enough to push Lamb outside fantasy's consensus top-four receivers for the first time in a minute.
That said, In 11 healthy games, he averaged 16.5 points with a 28% target share and 2.29 YPRR—great numbers. At 27, he's still in his prime on one of the league's most durable passing offenses. Dak Prescott has averaged 277 passing yards over three seasons in healthy games—well above the 230 NFL average. Even sharing targets with Pickens, Lamb remains a locked-in WR1 worth targeting in Round 1.
What does that mean for George Pickens’ value in 2026? ⬇️
Schedule Release Predictions And Notes For Thursday
We won't officially know the 2026 NFL schedule until Thursday, May 14th. But we do know which teams will be playing each other, and this gives us some room for NFL schedule release predictions.
While we wait for the dates, let's look for some of the best matchups in 2026.
Jaguars vs Week 1 Opener
This is turning into our annual "Travis Hunter watch." After he was drafted, we all wanted to know how much time Hunter would be splitting between both sides of the ball.
And a year later, we're asking the same questions.
Despite Hunter's usage that leaned heavily toward offensive snaps in 2025, GM James Gladstone recently dropped the bomb that JAX wants to increase Hunter's time at CB.
If you draft him in fantasy, you're hoping for that sweet, sweet "Week 7 Travis Hunter" that went 8-101-1 against the Rams. Either way, we'll all be watching.
