What is up, it's the rant, my name is Jeff Rackle, but it is Tuesday, August 23rd, and we are coming down to home stretch here on these previews, jets, who actually played a preseason game last night, and the Philadelphia Eagles.

We will get to that shortly, but just a reminder, FTN fantasy dot com, that's where you get all the goods, award-winning rankings, projections, the two draft guide, magazines, PDFs, whatever you want to call them, just updated the game plan yesterday, 4.0 is out all the cheat sheets, you want top 300 overall, we got you, you want by position for your half point PPR, gotcha, you want my draft board, gotcha, got

that all plus more, I recommend the platinum subscriptions, so that way you get access to the discord, where you can talk directly to me and the other staffers, you get access to leasing the premium tools stats, all that so much more promo code rat pack RATPACK for 20% off that is a great way to support this podcast, go get a subscription, also review the show on Apple podcasts, rating, review, all that fun stuff, hook it up.

If you like the podcast, it takes you five seconds, 15 seconds, I don't know, 10 seconds, it's not long, it's a review it. All right, let's bigger review, let's review the New York Jets, and well, there's a lot of different directions we can go in here, let's start with the quarterback spot, though, because Zach Wilson, he, well, has the knee injury, had surgery, it was called a meniscus trim, though, and apparently that's only a two

four week, apparently, Zach Wilson is good at getting trim, so anyway, he's got a two to four week absence here, should be back by the start of the season, if he's not back in week one, I'm okay with it, and you know why, because I'm a sucker for a good revenge game, and of course that game will be against the Ravens, and we could see Joe Flacco starting giddy up, Joe Flacco did not play in the second preseason game here this past Monday night, so they may be gearing up for that.

And that's fine, ultimately though, here's what we know about Wilson, he does have a high ceiling, here's what else we know about Wilson, he is still, he still has a long way to go, now I will say when he came back from injury last year, he did look better than in the beginning of the season, so he does have that to his credit, and I think that's quite important, that does not mean that he has completely turned a corner or anything like that though, so we do need to see that.

Yeah, I think that's what we know about him, and it really is going to have a ripple effect, not only is it, he could be fantasy relevant, which you know, all right, Zach Wilson at this point, the only place where we're considering him is as our third quarterback and a two quarterback super flex league, and I don't mind him there, he just tends to go a tick earlier than I look at the position, but his play is going to impact the past catchers, and it's going to impact the run game as well, because if they can't move the offense,

they're not going to get enough opportunities to run the darn football, so a lot of it is there, and I, hey, I want to believe in these players, I'm not a hater, I don't drink that hate or aid, I want to believe in these players, but I got to see it before I believe it, we haven't seen it yet, was Zach Wilson, so this year is going to be a very pivotal year in his career, of course, he is loaded with weapons loaded, they have a really solid wide receiver group, of course headline by Elijah more,

they also went out, they drafted Garrett Wilson, they have Corey Davis, their number four receivers, Braxton perios, and then even Jeff Smith is their number five, that's not bad, it's not bad at all, no, obviously guys like, you know, Smith and Barrio, sorry for fantasy relevant, and really Corey Davis isn't either, it all comes down to the two young kids, Elijah more, and Garrett Wilson, let's start with more who came in with some fanfare as a

day two selection, early day two selection, they pair up the quarterback with the wide out, in some ways similar to how Cincinnati did it with Joe burrow and T Higgins in that draft class, and

more showed flashes last year, he certainly did. Now, of course, a lot of it is going to depend on Zach Wilson, but more is certainly the preferred of these options, I think he's a very interesting third wide out wide receiver three range guy with with a nice high ceiling,

and I have no problem targeting him in that range, because when I'm drafting a guy in that range, so when I say wide receiver three, I mean from rankings 25 back to 36, guys in that range, a lot of times are in that range, not because that's where I think they're going to finish, it's because their range of outcomes is pretty wide, like, he could be, it wouldn't be shocking, if he was a top 15 guy, he could also finish this wide receiver 50, you know, you're taking that range on board, that's why you're not track

drafting them as top 20 guys, right? You're that's baked into their price. So he's preferred, but Garrett Wilson is interesting. Now he did play, despite the fact that they rested a bunch of their starters, he did play in the preseason game, he had three catches, nothing long, nothing special, but I mean, glimpses of what he's capable of doing already, very athletic.

These some of these Ohio State kids now coming in and they are just darn good route runners, you know, we know with a law, they were talks about on the podcast yesterday, same thing with Wilson, honestly, the athletic profile, it gives him a slightly higher long term ceiling than than a law, but maybe a slightly lower floor to start out, but still a lot of appeal with this kid, but, but like everybody, his value is closely tied to what Zach Wilson does this year.

The team also did bring in some side ends. So CJ, Zama and Tyler Conklin, this one is tricky. I mean, Conklin is getting the, he's getting the buzz as the better of the two in terms of, you know, he's likely to see more targets.

I think this could be a weekly thing, and I don't even think Conklin is a three for 32 guy, like, I think that if he leads this group in targets, he's going to have like 45 catches and then who's not was going to have like 38 and neither one of them are going to be relevant. So this is going to be the classic situation like week four Tyler Conklin has three catches for 32 yards and two touchdowns and everybody's going to be like pick up Tyler Conklin.

And then the next week he has one catch for 12 yards, right. This happens every friggin year in fantasy football. We have this collective amnesia every year, but just be aware, like if he does surface, it's highly unlikely that's going to be sustainable.

The targets are going to go to more to Garrett Wilson, to Corey Davis, even to Braggs and Barrios, and then to the backfield, much more so than they're going to the tight ends in this offense, but they did bring in weapons and that'll help out Wilson, Zach Wilson.

All right. So speaking to the backfield, let's get over to these guys.

Breeze Hall was the first running back drafted in this past April's draft. Of course, that's frustrating. If you had Michael Carter and Dynasty leagues and you thought you might have had a three down back there.

Carter is a tick under size and he really he wasn't a three down back at the college level, right.

Was having Javante Williams and Javante Williams was more the early down guys. So they had a plan in place.
