2026 Fantasy Football Overview For The NY Jets
Geno Smith led the NFL in interceptions (17) and sacks taken (55) in 2025. Not great! Of course, the Raiders' miserable offensive line and scheme didn't help, and Smith is just one year removed from posting objectively average-to-above-average numbers in most passing efficiency metrics. Are the *Jets* likely to bring out the best in Geno? No, but you could imagine what it'd be like if they did.
Breece Hall's 1,415 total yards and 5 touchdowns were good for only RB21 status in PPR points per game, but the 25-year-old talent did post an 8.6% explosive rush rate—tied with Jahmyr Gibbs for the eighth-best mark in the league. New OC Frank Reich is no stranger to force-feeding his RB1 the football—there's RB1 upside here if (big if) the Jets get a return to form from Geno and get something close to elite play from their young stud tackles. Braelon Allen would likely lead a committee next to Isaiah Davis should Hall miss any time.
Last season, Garrett Wilson did his best DJ Moore impression with a 36-395-4 receiving line in six games catching passes from Justin Fields before his season-ending knee injury. 16.2 PPR points per game! WR10! If 2026 Geno can just be better than 2025 Fields (spoiler: he is), it's within Wilson's range of potential outcomes to ball the hell out. After Wilson, Adonai Mitchell will battle for targets alongside rookie Omar Cooper. Our fantasy football projections have the Indiana product out-targeting Mitchell, 95-61.
Rookie first-rounder Kenyon Sadiq has some serious YAC juice and gives this offense a newfound seam-stretching threat. Still, Mason Taylor is a competent enough inline option to potentially make this far more of a committee situation than fantasy managers would prefer.
NY Jets Utilization Notes
Garrett Wilson averaged 18.6 PPG over the first five games last season before suffering a hyperextended knee in Week 6. In the two prior years, he averaged 14.7 PPG (WR20) and 12.5 PPG (WR33). His underlying data points to a solid WR2 talent. His career TPRR of 24% is WR2-worthy, but his career YPRR of 1.70 is in WR3 territory. It's hard to put too much weight into his YPRR considering his QBs. While Geno Smith regressed in 2025, he averaged 242 and 254 passing yards in 2023-24. Wilson is a mid-range WR2 heading into 2026.
