Best NY Jets picks for Daily Fantasy Football in Week 4

The NY Jets have a critical game in primetime this Sunday as they square off against the AFC favorites, the Kansas City Chiefs. Adding to the fanfare of the game, Taylor Swift will be in attendance at MetLife Stadium. All eyes will be on this one.

For Daily Fantasy Football players, this season has been tough if you've rostered anyone on the Jets. Zach Wilson has struggled to move the ball consistently, impacting both his numbers and the Jets' skill players.

The Kansas City Chiefs come to town with the sixth-ranked overall scoring defense, indicating it might be tough sledding for Wilson and the Jets this week again.

Nonetheless, there are some options for players looking to roster Jets players in the primetime game. Below are three Daily Fantasy Football options for Sunday's game.

1. Michael Carter, RB, NY Jets

Michael Carter has not had a very productive season so far out of the Jets backfield but has seen increased playing time as the season has gone on. He has only logged three carries for 14 yards and four catches for 18 yards.

However, I think he could be valuable this week. So far this season, Carter has seen his playing time increase week after week, to the point that both he and Dalvin Cook had equal snaps in last week's game as they fight for the backup running back spot behind Breece Hall.

Although Hall will still get a majority of the work, Cook has looked bad thus far, actually finishing close to last in running back stats around the league. That looks good for Carter, who should see more playing time and opportunities on Sunday night.

Carter is best utilized out of the backfield as a pass-catching threat, and with the Chiefs predictably playing a prevent defense that forces check-downs, Carter could be in line for some run-after-catch chances.

If Carter, who is only priced at $4,400 on FanDuel, could be a bargain for lineups if he can bring in four or five catches plus the yards he can rack up. If the game gets ugly, a few second-half carries can bolster his performance as well.

2. Allen Lazard, WR, NY Jets

Allen Lazard has been the second-best receiver on the Jets all year long and has quickly earned some trust from quarterback Zach Wilson. So far this season, he has brought in seven passes on 13 targets for 108 yards.

However, when the Jets have been able to move the ball, Lazard has helped the offense on those drives. During the touchdown drive last week, Lazard caught two passes for 27 yards and also had a third target that could have easily been a 15-yard catch but slipped out of his hands.

I realize these stats don't jump off the page, but when a quarterback is only averaging about 150 passing yards per game, no receiver is jumping off the page.

Priced at $5800, Lazard offers better value than teammate Garrett Wilson at $7,200. I think the Jets push the ball vertically more this week, and Lazard's height could help him bring in some passes down the field for chunks of yards.

Look for Lazard to make some plays down the field and across the middle for Wilson, who should be more aggressive. Again, if Wilson and the Jets fall behind, Lazard could pick up some late yards to help his daily fantasy performance.

3. Tyler Conklin, TE, NY Jets

Conklin has been fairly productive this season for the Jets out of the tight end position, bringing in nine catches on 12 targets for 78 yards. His best week came against the Cowboys when Conklin hauled in five catches for 50 yards.

This game against the Chiefs can turn out similarly to the game against the Cowboys, where the Jets are trying to move the ball quickly down the field, creating opportunities for Conklin in the middle of the field.

Additionally, there is little competition for targets out of the tight end group for the Jets. No other tight end has more than one target this season, and Jeremy Ruckert should have an expanded role in the run game moving forward.

If Ruckert takes control of the running sets and Conklin can be fresh for the passing downs, he could unlock more routes and catches for sure.

At $4,900, Conklin provides good value at the tight-end position and can potentially do some damage for owners. If he can find the endzone for the first time this year, it will pay off for owners.
