In the real world, these New York Jets aren't exactly going to be as fun to watch as other teams around the league. However, in the fantasy realm, there are going to be players worth watching every Sunday.
Fantasy managers of Garrett Wilson have forever wondered if he's going to hit his ceiling, but as Jets fans know good and well, that has everything to do with who's under center and nothing to do with the talent of Garrett.
This year, we still may not see the true ceiling. But the quarterback position is going to be worth watching, as will some other spots.
Throughout training camp and the preseason, consider this to be your one-stop shop for everything fantasy-related when it comes to the New York Jets.
Note: This story will be updated regularly throughout the New York Jets' training camp and preseason.
Notable New York Jets training camp battles with a fantasy impact
Mason Taylor vs. Kenyon Sadiq for the Jets' TE1
With Kenyon Sadiq's hernia forcing him to miss much of the Jets' offseason program, that automatically puts him behind the 8-ball. Now, Mason Taylor likely would have been the starter either way, at least during Sadiq's rookie year.
This season, neither may matter much at all for fantasy purposes. But, if there's a clear-cut noise maker in camp, that could change quickly.
Omar Cooper Jr. vs. Adonai Mitchell for the Jets' WR2
Towards the end of last season, AD Mitchell came on and started to show signs of life that we never saw from him in Indy. Now, he'll have a real threat as he tries to continue his breakout. Omar Cooper Jr. will be giving him a strong run for his money as the team's WR2, and this battle will be quite fun to watch.
Geno Smith vs. Cade Klubnik isn't a competition -- but it matters
While Geno Smith was brought in to be the Jets' starter for 2026, the narrative is easy to build around rookie fourth-round pick Cade Klubnik. The Jets may very well stink again this season, and much of it could be due to Smith falling off.
If the Jets reach a point where the season looks to be lost, Klubnik will get his shot. That might come sooner than later, too. Klubnik won't be worth rostering, but if/when he gets his first start, he'll be worth a stash just for kicks.
Fantasy-relevant Jets injury news
Going into camp, the Jets' top fantasy players are healthy. Monitoring Sadiq and ensuring he continues to trend positively is worth mentioning, but all signs point to a healthy skill group for New York.
Actionable Jets fantasy takeaways from camp and preseason
Over the early offseason, Geno Smith and AD Mitchell formed some chemistry which is worth noting when it comes to the WR2 battle. We'll see how that continues to develop during training camp.
For owners who like to hold a handcuff, Breece Hall's backup is worth watching. Between Braelon Allen and Isaiah Davis, one of them may be worth stashing at some point.
