New York Jets GM Joe Douglas confirmed that the team has permitted QB Zach Wilson's camp to communicate with teams and seek out potential trade offers. (Source: Zack Rosenblatt on Twitter)
Fantasy Impact: Wilson's time in New York has been rough, but it seemed to be at an all-time low when Wilson was benched midseason for Tim Boyle. The former No. 2 pick has not lived up to his expectations but seemed to have a solid relationship with QB Aaron Rodgers, who tore his Achilles on the first drive of last season. Wilson may opt for a change of scenery, hoping to potentially revitalize his career.

New York Jets QB Aaron Rodgers (Achilles) said on Joe Rogan's podcast that he's progressing well, feeling good, and can do everything but sprint at his top speed. (Source: Rich Cimini on Twitter)
Fantasy Impact: Rodgers is five months removed from his surgery and is aiming to return at the start of the 2024 season, a year after his initial tear. The 40-year-old signal-caller only got four snaps into his Jets career before the injury, redirecting the trajectory of New York's season. His age brings concern when paired with the injury, but there's optimism the Jets could be competitive next season in a tough decision.

Fantasy Impact: The Jets’ defense allowed 88 passing yards and 88 rushing yards in the win. The defense took advantage of a weak Patriots’ offense that struggled to move the ball in the snowy conditions. The Jets’ D/ST figures to remain an excellent option for fantasy managers in 2024.

Fantasy Impact: Conklin tied Garrett Wilson and Breece Hall for the team lead in receptions Sunday. The Jets’ passing attack struggled in the snowy conditions in New England. The Jets could have Conklin return in 2024 or search for a new tight end to provide depth in their passing attack.

Israel Abanikanda rushed for six yards on three carries in the Jets’ 17-3 win over the Patriots.

Fantasy Impact: Hall dominated the Patriots’ defense and scored on a 50-yard rushing touchdown in the fourth quarter. The 22-year-old will finish the season on a high note and finish just six yards short of a 1,000 yard rushing season. Hall will return in 2024 and fantasy managers should expect another great season if he can remain healthy.

Xavier Gipson caught four of his seven targets for 33 yards and added an eight-yard run in a 37-20 loss to the Browns in Week 17.
Fantasy Impact: Gipson's seven targets tied him for third on the team in the loss on Thursday night. The rookie wideout has looked explosive when he gets the ball for the Jets this season and is worth a roster spot in deep dynasty leagues heading into the offseason. He will take on the Patriots in Week 18.
