Best NY Jets picks in Daily Fantasy Football for Week 2

As the NY Jets get ready for their Week 2 matchup against the Dallas Cowboys, it is time to prepare some daily fantasy football lineups.

Despite Zach Wilson now getting the start as the Jets quarterback, there are still many high-upside options for players looking to roster a Jets player.

Below are three viable options with some legit upside for daily fantasy players on the Jets. Although they don't make the list below, don't shy away from this Jets defense either.

1. Breece Hall, RB, NY Jets

Available on DraftKings for just $5,900, Breece Hall marks an almost automatic pickup for all Jets fans and all daily fantasy players. Anyone who watched the game Monday night saw just how explosive Hall is, even on limited touches.

Against a really good Buffalo defense, Hall ran 10 times for 127 yards and also added a 20-yard reception as well, good for 18.7 fantasy points.

The fact that Hall is still priced as the 16th overall running back has a lot to do with his injury designation as questionable, although there are absolutely no indications of any chances Hall will not play.

With Zach Wilson now under center, I expect the Jets to implement a ground-and-pound style offensively, favorable for Hall, who should match or exceed his 10 Week 1 carries. I wouldn't be surprised to see Hall get 15 touches during the game.

Additionally, the Cowboys happen to be one of the worst defenses against the run in the entire NFL. Despite beating the Giants 40-0 last week, they still surrendered 108 rushing yards on just 28 carries. I would expect the Jets to easily surpass that number this week.

The Cowboys struggled against the run last year as well, finishing 22nd in total rush yards, allowing over 124 yards per game. I expect the Jets to easily surpass 100 yards rushing and get close to their 175 yards number from last week, led by Hall.

If Hall can find his way into the endzone this week, something he couldn't do last week, it should pay off big for fantasy owners. I predict Hall finishes with 12 carries for 65 yards and a touchdown and adds two catches for 17 yards — good for 16.2 fantasy points.

2- Dalvin Cook, RB, NY Jets

Sticking with the same theme, I think Dalvin Cook is a great play this week as well for the Jets and daily fantasy owners. Cook is actually priced higher than Hall currently, at $6,000.

Cook had a slightly disappointing game last week against Buffalo, finishing with 13 carries for 33 yards and three catches for 26 yards. Although the yards don't jump off the page, the amount of touches is very encouraging for daily fantasy players.

With another full week of practice, Cook should be in a better position in terms of conditioning and understanding the playbook. I believe that Cook will continue to improve while maintaining his workload for about five or six more weeks. After that, Hall should start to dominate the share of carries and touches.

As mentioned above, with Wilson under center, I expect a heavy dose of running attempts from Cook and Hall, who should each get about 15 touches. If Cook can find any running room, it sets up for a nice day at a reasonable price.

My final stat line for Cook looks like 11 carries for 40 yards and four catches for 35 yards — good for 11.5 daily fantasy points.

3. Allen Lazard, WR, NY Jets

This one might seem a little strange, but I actually think Allen Lazard shapes up to have a big day on Sunday afternoon, pacing the Jets in yards and catches.

Of course, I realize Garrett Wilson is still on the Jets, and he is truly an otherworldly talent. But I expect Cowboys star corner Trevon Diggs to follow Wilson around most of the game, and with his ability to intercept passes, I think Wilson will stay away from that option as much as possible.

That leaves Lazard as a receiving target for Wilson, who connected with Lazard for two catches and 46 yards against the Bills, leading the Jets in yards.

On multiple big third downs, Wilson found Lazard for big-time yardage, including the critical third down that extended the drive that ended in the Garrett Wilson touchdown. I think Lazard finds more of those holes in the Cowboys' defense and uses his big body to make some tough catches.

I don't expect the Jets to throw the ball a ton, and I wouldn't be surprised if Wilson ends with less than 20 attempts again and less than 150 passing yards. I think the Jets are actively trying to do that. It won't leave many opportunities for receivers to flourish and put up big days.

Priced at just $5400, Lazard is a cheap option that opens up more money for other big names. At that price, if Lazard can bring in five catches for 60 yards, it would be a pretty good day, even if he cannot find the endzone.
