Offseason In Review: New York Jets

As aggressive New York Jets offseason saw the organization accelerate its timeline to 2023. While the 2022 iteration of the team had some warts, the Jets also showed significant progress during Robert Saleh‘s second season at the helm. The Jets had both the Offensive and Defensive Rookies of the Year in Garrett Wilson and Sauce […]

Mecole Hardman Jr. Fine Despite Injuring Finger Saturday

New York Jets wide receiver Mecole Hardman Jr. (finger) "is fine" despite exiting Saturday's game early, head coach Robert Saleh told the media. The 25-year-old had been trending up after a strong showing during his first training camp with the Jets, so it's refreshing to learn that Saleh doesn't believe his injury is too serious. Over his final two seasons (25 games) with the Chiefs, Hardman amassed 84 catches, 990 yards, and six touchdowns. Assuming Hardman is able to play in Week 1, he'll likely do so as the No. 3 receiver behind Garrett Wilson and Allen Lazard. Consider him a modest streaming option in the WR5 or WR6 range.

Mecole Hardman Injures Finger In Preseason Finale

New York Jets wide receiver Mecole Hardman (finger) exited Saturday's game and went to the locker room with a trainer, according to Rich Cimini of ESPN. The 25-year-old had been trending up after a strong showing during his first training camp with the Jets. Over his final two seasons (25 games) with the Chiefs, Hardman amassed 84 catches, 990 yards, and six touchdowns. We'll wait to learn more about the severity of Hardman's injury until providing extensive fantasy analysis, but if he's able to play in Week 1, he'll likely do so as the No. 3 receiver behind Garrett Wilson and Allen Lazard. Consider him a modest streaming option in the WR5 or WR6 range.

Mecole Hardman Jr. Could Have A Big Role

New York Jets wide receiver Mecole Hardman Jr. and quarterback Aaron Rodgers have quickly built chemistry in training camp this summer, and Hardman has been a frequent target on Rodgers' quick passes shortly after the snap. Hardman is perfect for those plays because of his speed and after-the-catch ability, and the Jets should be able to find creative ways to use him in the offense. The Athletic's Zack Rosenblatt writes that Hardman is going to have a role in an offense that expects to score a lot, even if Garrett Wilson and Allen Lazard are locked in as the two top receivers. Hardman's big-play ability means he could have some productive weeks if he can stay healthy, something he couldn't do in Kansas City. The 25-year-old probably won't be drafted in 12-team fantasy leagues, but he could end up being an early season streamer if he makes some noise to start the year.

Randall Cobb Getting More Starting Reps Than Mecole Hardman Jr.

New York Jets wide receiver Randall Cobb is entering his 13th NFL season and has not posted over 450 receiving yards since 2019. However, Zack Rosenblatt of the Athletic reports Cobb has been getting more repetitions with quarterback Aaron Rodgers than Mecole Hardman Jr. in recent practices. Rodgers and Cobb spent 10 seasons together in Green Bay and are close friends, but it'd be a surprising development to see the 33-year-old wideout play a larger role than Hardman this season. This is just a preseason report and should be taken with a grain of salt, but it's a situation worth monitoring. Neither player will likely be a great fantasy option in 12-team leagues.

Garrett Wilson Limps Off Field Thursday

New York Jets wide receiver Garrett Wilson (ankle) limped off the practice field at training camp on Thursday with an apparent ankle injury and was taken to the locker room. It looks like Wilson was able to leave under his own power, which is a good sign, but it's not what you want to see so early in camp. The 23-year-old had an outstanding rookie year in 2022 with 1,103 receiving yards and four touchdowns on 147 targets and could do even more damage in his sophomore season with quarterback Aaron Rodgers now in town. We'll pass along any updates on Wilson's condition. Until we know more, consider him day-to-day. If it's a significant injury that causes him to miss extended time, Allen Lazard, Mecole Hardman Jr. and Corey Davis would see more targets in the passing game.

Jets Are Committed To Evolving Mecole Hardman Jr.'s Route-Running

New York Jets wide receiver Mecole Hardman Jr. has plenty of talent and speed, but the former Kansas City Chiefs wideout was mostly deployed as a gadget player in his four seasons with Andy Reid. The 25-year-old caught 151 passes for 2,088 yards and 20 touchdowns while adding 125 yards and two touchdowns on the ground in Kansas City. Jets head coach Robert Saleh told the media that they are committed to evolving Hardman's route running during training camp. Hardman could be a fantasy sleeper in an offense led by Aaron Rodgers that doesn't have any high-upside wideouts outside of Garrett Wilson.

Mecole Hardman Jr. Practicing Thursday

New York Jets wide receiver Mecole Hardman Jr. (core) took part in 11-on-11 drills at training camp practice on Thursday and scored a touchdown on a throw from quarterback Zach Wilson. Hardman had core-muscle surgery in February and was limited in offseason workouts, but he avoided landing on the Physically Unable to Perform list for the start of training camp and should be just fine for the start of the regular season this fall. The 25-year-old has intriguing potential in an offense now run by quarterback Aaron Rodgers, but he'll have plenty of competition for targets in a now-crowded receiver room in New York next to Garrett Wilson, Allen Lazard, Corey Davis and Randall Cobb (ankle). Hardman will probably go undrafted in standard 12-team fantasy leagues.

The veteran wide receiver may be on the chopping block, should he balk at a pay-cut request. Robert Saleh and GM Joe Douglas have said Davis is in the team’s plans. This came […]
