Jeremy Ruckert (thumb) will play in Sunday's game against the Chicago Bears.
Fantasy Impact
The veteran is going to be available to play on Sunday, despite being limited at practice earlier in the week due to a thumb issue. He will see more work than usual with Mason Taylor (thumb) out and Kenyon Sadiq (back) questionable for this matchup against the Bears.
Jeremy Ruckert (knee) was listed as a limited participant at practice on Thursday.
Fantasy Impact
The veteran tight end was limited for a second-straight practice on Thursday as he continues to recover from a knee injury. If he's healthy for Week 4, he could be in line for more work than usual with Kenyon Sadiq (back) and Mason Taylor (thumb) both currently dealing with injuries for the Jets.
Jeremy Ruckert caught all five of his targets for 39 yards and a touchdown in a 31-24 loss to the Lions.
Fantasy Impact
Ruckert caught a four-yard pass early in the fourth quarter for his first touchdown of the season. The 26-year-old will likely continue to serve as the second tight end as long as Mason Taylor (thumb) is forced to miss time.
Jeremy Ruckert caught both of his targets for five yards in the Jets' 20-17 loss to the Green Bay Packers in Week 2.
Fantasy Impact
Ruckert has seen minimal involvement in the New York passing attack to begin the season, seeing two targets or less in each of the first two contests. The tight end remains best left off rosters in all formats ahead of a favorable Week 3 contest against the Detroit Lions.
Jeremy Ruckert caught two of his three targets for 14 yards in the Jets' 29-6 loss to the Saints in Week 16.
Fantasy Impact
Ruckert remains minimally involved in the New York offense, registering three targets or less in each of his last five games. The tight end cannot be trusted in any format ahead of a difficult Week 17 contest against the New England Patriots.
