Expert Note
View More Notes

David Bailey was at it again in Week 2, tallying two solos, one assist, one sack, one tackle for loss, and one forced fumble. He played 55 percent of the snaps for the Jets and should continue to see his role expand until he eventually becomes the snap share leader over Will McDonald. Bailey has started his NFL career with a sack in each of his first two games, recording at least five pressures in each. Expect the Jets left edge rusher to be the most sought after name on the wire this week, at least at his position, so be prepared to be aggressive. Tap Bailey as a sack dependent DL2 option for a plus Week 2 matchup against the Detroit Lions.

Fantasy Impact

Bailey is set to play for the Jets on Sunday. That's great news for their depth at edge rusher ahead of a tough matchup against the Lions, although they are still waiting to see whether or not Joseph Ossai (foot) will be cleared to play as well.
