Jets WR Keelan Cole (knee) is listed as questionable for this weekend's game vs. the Panthers. He didn’t practice on Friday after being added to the injury report on Thursday, so he looks like a poor bet to play. With Jamison Crowder (COVID) already ruled out, Corey Davis and Elijah Moore should serve as the Jets’ clear top 2 WRs in the opener.
Jets WR Jamison Crowder (COVID) is out for Sunday's game vs. the Panthers, HC Robert Saleh said. We'll see if WR Keelan Cole (knee) is able to play. Corey Davis and Elijah Moore should operate as the Jets' top 2 WRs in this one.
Jets WR Keelan Cole was added to the injury report on Thursday with a knee issue and limited in practice. WR Jamison Crowder remains on the COVID list, so the Jets might be down to Corey Davis, Elijah Moore, Denzel Mims, Braxton Berrios and Jeff Smith at WR for Sunday's opener vs. Carolina.
Jets WR Denzel Mims was working with the 3rd-team offense in Friday's practice, according to multiple reports. So in case you were still wondering whether the spring reports that he wasn't in line to start this season were true, here you go. As of now, it looks like Corey Davis and Keelan Cole will be the Jets' outside receivers, with Jamison Crowder and rookie Elijah Moore battling for the slot job. Mims isn't rosterable in redraft leagues.
The Athletic's Connor Hughes came away from Jets OTAs believing Keelan Cole -- not Denzel Mims -- is the favorite for the outside WR spot opposite Corey Davis. "The Jets want to run a carbon copy of Kyle Shanahan’s offense, which requires route-running specialists at receiver who can create yards after the catch," Hughes writes. "Mims isn’t really that kind of a player. He might never be a route technician. Scouts always viewed him as more of a vertical, linear player." Mims missed some time in OTAs with a hamstring injury, while Cole "looks really, really good so far," according to Hughes. This will be a situation to monitor in training camp and preseason action.
The forecast for today's Jaguars-Chiefs game calls for periods of heavy rain. The good news is that winds are expected to be only 6-7 mph. They aren't ideal conditions, but it's not enough for us to adjust our projections for these passing games. You might use the weather as a tiebreaker if deciding between 2 similarly ranked players, though.
