Fantasy Football Player Notes

Garrett Wilson hit career-highs across the board in his third season, totaling over 100 catches for 1,104 receiving yards and 7 TDs. The Jets' undisputed No. 1 WR finished as the WR11 in half-PPR despite fending off top-tier competition in the form of Aaron Rodgers' best friend, Davante Adams. With both Adams and Rodgers gone in 2025, Wilson is firmly back atop the Jets' targeting pecking order with little competition behind him for targets. Justin Fields is Wilson's new starting QB, and they were former teammates at Ohio State. Expect Fields to force feed Wilson to another 140-plus target season.

Aaron Glenn has stated this offseason that the Jets could operate with more of a committee approach for the backfield for the 2025 season. That's definitely a worry for Hall, but he remains the most talented back in that room. If this is an equal competition for work based on talent alone, Hall should still be the unquestioned lead back in New York. Last year, Hall was the RB17 in fantasy points per game, ranking eighth in snap share, 15th in opportunity share, and tenth in weighted opportunity. Hall produced adequately on a per-touch basis last year, ranking 15th in explosive run rate, 16th in yards after contact per attempt, fifth in receiving yards per game, and 16th in yards per route run (per Fantasy Points Data). Hall should be a solid RB2 this season, even if he is ceding a little more work to Braelon Allen or Isaiah Davis.

Braelon Allen is in the running to be Breece Hall's backup for 2025, but I won't be surprised if Isaiah Davis beats him out. Last year, Allen averaged 6.5 touches and 28.3 total yards in backup duty. Among 70 qualifying backs, he ranked 51st in missed tackle rate and 35th in yards after contact per attempt (per Fantasy Points Data). Davis, with fewer carries, produced better per-touch numbers last year. I don't mind taking shots on Allen late in deeper leagues, but I wouldn't go crazy with my exposure across multiple leagues.

With a new regime in New York calling the shots for the Jets, it's possible that Isaiah Davis can overtake Braelon Allen as the team's RB2. Yes, I know he only had 30 carries last year, but his per-carry numbers were quite nice, and they trumped Allen. Davis had a 6.7% explosive run rate, a 20% missed tackle rate, and a whopping 3.10 yards after contact per attempt (per Fantasy Points Data). If this is truly an open competition in camp, Davis could be the RB2 on the depth chart before Week 1.
