New York Jets wide receiver Josh Reynolds won't be a recommended option this weekend when he lines up against the visiting Dallas Cowboys. When healthy, the veteran is New York's clear-cut WR2 behind running mate Garrett Wilson, playing the second-most snaps of all wideouts in both games he's started. However, Reynolds has accrued only five targets in his two appearances, pulling in two for a total of 18 yards, and none in their loss to the Dolphins in Week 4. There are targets to go around in the Jets' offense, but the emergence of rookie tight end Mason Taylor and running back Breece Hall's ability as a receiver have all but rendered the 30-year-old useless for fantasy. He'll likely pick up more work as he's further removed from his recent hamstring injury, and may eventually have a few useful weeks. That said, they could be few and far between, and exceedingly difficult to predict. Reynolds is RotoBaller's PPR WR102 for this weekend's slate of action.

New York Jets wide receiver Josh Reynolds will head into Week 4's contest with the Miami Dolphins sans an injury designation after back-to-back full practices. Reynolds missed the previous two weeks after picking up a hamstring injury leading up to the team's Week 2 loss to Buffalo, but he's ready to rock for an excellent matchup with the Dolphins. Quarterback Justin Fields will also make his return after missing time with a concussion, so New York's offense is on an upward trajectory as they return to health. Miami's defense doesn't present as a difficult test, so it's a good chance for the Jets to shake off any remaining rust as they enter mid-season form. However, the Texas native's ceiling is capped playing across from target hog teammate Garrett Wilson in a run-centric attack. If the offense ever decides to open it up through the air, Reynolds could be an interesting low-end PPR option. For now, he's better left alone for fantasy purposes.

New York Jets wide receiver Josh Reynolds (hamstring) has been removed from the injury report ahead of Monday's Week 4 matchup against the Miami Dolphins. Reynolds is ready to return to action after missing each of the last two games due to a hamstring issue. The 30-year-old hauled in two of his three targets for 18 yards during the season opener. It's worth noting that he did play 97 percent of the offensive snaps during that game. That being said, Reynolds figures to be on the field quite a bit, but isn't a trustworthy fantasy option for Week 4. Honestly, none of the receivers on this offense outside of Garrett Wilson should be trusted at the moment.
Sep 27, 2025 6:29 PM EST
New York Jets wide receiver Josh Reynolds (hamstring) was able to get through a full practice session on Friday. After being limited on Thursday, Reynolds has been upgraded to full, which puts him on pace to play this weekend. The 30-year-old has missed each of the last two games, but appears ready to return in Week 4. Reynolds played 97 percent of the snap count during the season opener. However, it's tough to trust any of the receivers on this roster outside of Garrett Wilson right now. Reynolds is best to be avoided for the Week 4 matchup against the Miami Dolphins.
Sep 26, 2025 9:18 PM EST
New York Jets head coach Aaron Glenn said that wide receiver Josh Reynolds (hamstring) will return to practice on Thursday ahead of the team's Week 4 game on Monday night against the division-rival Miami Dolphins, according to Rich Cimini of ESPN. Reynolds missed the last two games with a hamstring injury but appears to be on track to return in Week 4. The 30-year-old veteran was on the field for 97 percent of the offensive snaps in the Week 1 loss to the Pittsburgh Steelers, but it amounted to only two catches on three targets for 18 yards. Reynolds is expected to be the Jets' No. 2 behind Garrett Wilson when he's healthy, but fantasy managers can't realistically rely on weekly production from anyone in New York outside of Wilson. Reynolds' return would be bad news for Allen Lazard, who scored in the Week 3 loss to the Tampa Bay Buccaneers.
Sep 25, 2025 1:14 PM EST
New York Jets wide receiver Josh Reynolds (hamstring) is officially ruled out for Sunday's road meeting with the Tampa Bay Buccaneers, according to the New York Post's Brian Costello. It's unfortunate news for New York, as the 30-year-old will miss his second consecutive contest after picking up a hamstring injury leading up to Week 2. In that game, fellow wideout Tyler Johnson garnered one more snap (45) than Garrett Wilson, with Arian Smith and Allen Lazard participating on 22 apiece. A similar distribution of playing time is expected for their meeting with Tampa Bay. However, Smith may continue to see an uptick in workload as he better adjusts to the professional level. For now, Wilson is the only asset worth starting from this bunch.

New York Jets wide receiver Josh Reynolds (hamstring) did not play in the Week 2 loss to the Buffalo Bills due to a hamstring injury, and he has yet to practice this week, according to Rich Cimini of ESPN. Reynolds has one more day to return to the practice field on Friday, but as of right now, it's looking like he's going to miss a second straight game. Even if the 30-year-old veteran practices on Friday and plays on Sunday against the Tampa Bay Buccaneers, he'll be an easy flex fade with veteran quarterback Tyrod Taylor starting in place of the injured Justin Fields (concussion). In the season-opening loss to the Pittsburgh Steelers, Reynolds wasn't involved much despite the team putting up over 30 points, as he caught just two of three targets for 18 yards. If Reynolds misses another game, Tyler Johnson and Allen Lazard should start next to Garrett Wilson in three-wide sets.
Sep 18, 2025 5:47 PM EST
New York Jets wide receiver Josh Reynolds (hamstring) did not practice on Wednesday. Reynolds hasn't been on the practice field since last Thursday due to a shoulder issue. He sat out last week's game and is in danger of missing the Week 3 matchup against the Tampa Bay Buccaneers. His absence should result in a higher workload for Allen Lazard. However, there's really no viable receiving options on this team outside of Garrett Wilson. The Jets are going to be without Justin Fields (concussion), so Tyrod Taylor should be under center. Even if Reynolds plays, fantasy managers can find a better streaming option for Week 3.
Sep 17, 2025 9:53 PM EST
New York Jets wide receiver Josh Reynolds (hamstring) has been ruled out for their Week 2 contest against the Buffalo Bills. Reynolds was not on the practice report on Wednesday but was listed as a non-participant on Thursday and Friday. Fantasy managers should continue to monitor his status, as the 30-year-old wideout could be in danger of missing their next contest against the Tampa Bay Buccaneers. In their Week 1 loss to the Pittsburgh Steelers, Reynolds operated as the No. 2 WR with Allen Lazard as a healthy scratch, but was unable to find much success as he caught just two of his three targets for 18 yards. Top wide receiver Garrett Wilson did most of the damage in the passing game. With Reynolds sidelined, Lazard will likely be active in Sunday's game, but he is best left on the waiver wire as Wilson is the only viable fantasy asset in this wide receiver room.
Sep 12, 2025 4:45 PM EST
New York Jets wide receiver Josh Reynolds (hamstring) popped up on the Week 2 injury report on Thursday and was listed as a non-participant in practice. Mid-week injuries are typically not a good sign, especially if a player doesn't practice at all a day after being a full-go. Reynolds has a shot to return to practice on Friday, but he's trending as questionable right now to play in Week 2 against the division-rival Buffalo Bills. The 30-year-old veteran played 97 percent of the offensive snaps in the Week 1 loss to the Pittsburgh Steelers, but it amounted to only two catches on three targets for 18 yards in a game in which the Jets' offense was humming against a strong defense. Allen Lazard was a surprise inactive last weekend in the season opener, but if Reynolds cannot play, he should be active for the first time as the potential WR2 behind Garrett Wilson.
Sep 11, 2025 7:19 PM EST
New York Jets wide receiver Josh Reynolds is slated to make his Jets debut this Sunday when they take on the visiting Pittsburgh Steelers at MetLife Stadium. Reynolds will play for his third team in three seasons after a brief stint with the Jacksonville Jaguars in 2024, operating as the Jets' de facto WR2 behind incumbent starter Garrett Wilson. The 30-year-old doesn't offer much in terms of YAC and isn't a burner, but he's likely due for a solid share of targets. However, New York figures to establish the run and play sound defense under head coach Aaron Glenn, leaving Reynolds' prospective figure of looks uncertain. He's a reliable wide receiver, though, and his only real threat to targets outside of Wilson are running back Breece Hall and rookie tight end Mason Taylor. The veteran is nothing more than a DFS dart-throw for now, landing as RotoBaller's PPR WR80 ahead of Week 1.

New York Jets wide receiver Josh Reynolds is the early front-runner to take over as the team's No. 2 receiver behind Garrett Wilson this year, according to The Athletic's Zack Rosenblatt. Reynolds is the only player the Jets added this offseason that has ties to new head coach Aaron Glenn and offensive coordinator Tanner Engstrand from their time with the Lions. The team values Reynolds' willingness as a blocker, and he has built some nice chemistry with QB Justin Fields early on. Allen Lazard still has a role to play on this team, but as of minicamp, he appears to be behind Reynolds. The 30-year-old Reynolds dealt with injuries last year and caught only 13 passes for 194 yards and one TD with Denver and Jacksonville. It sounds like he'll have a bigger role with the Jets, but it's unlikely to yield much production for fantasy managers in what is expected to be a run-heavy offense in 2025.
Jun 14, 2025 1:22 PM EST
New York Jets wide receiver Josh Reynolds appears to already be developing chemistry with quarterback Justin Fields. Reynolds, who inked a one-year deal with the Jets in March, was observed "connecting on some nice passes during OTAs." The franchise is heading in a new direction, with Fields taking over under center for Aaron Rodgers, who is now a Pittsburgh Steeler. Garrett Wilson is the top wideout on the depth chart. However, the No. 2 spot is seemingly up for grabs. Reynolds has been in the National Football League since 2017, suiting up through the years for the Rams, Titans, Lions, Broncos, and Jaguars. In 116 games, he's amassed 233 catches for 3,127 yards and 20 touchdowns. For now, he won't see much attention from fantasy managers heading into the 2025-26 campaign. Still, Reynolds has a chance to earn routine attention from Fields during the season, assuming the duo continue to build chemistry in camp. If that happens, it might not be good for the potential production of Allen Lazard, Tyler Johnson, and Arian Smith, among others.

The New York Jets are signing free-agent wide receiver Josh Reynolds to a one-year deal worth up to $5 million on Thursday, sources tell NFL Network's Ian Rapoport. New general manager Darren Mougey is familiar with Reynolds from their time together with the Denver Broncos last year. The 30-year-old veteran wideout also spent time in 2023 with the Detroit Lions and with the Jacksonville Jaguars to close out last season. With Denver and Jacksonville in 2024, Reynolds combined for only 13 receptions on 24 targets for 194 yards and one touchdown in nine games played (two starts). The former fourth-round pick (117th overall) by the Los Angeles Rams in 2017 out of Texas A&M will now head to New York, where he'll be battling for a complementary role behind Garrett Wilson, Allen Lazard and Xavier Gipson. Barring injuries, Reynolds will be avoidable in 12-team fantasy leagues this fall.
Mar 27, 2025 1:51 PM EST
Jacksonville Jaguars wide receiver Josh Reynolds (coach's decision) and running back D'Ernest Johnson (coach's decision) are both healthy scratches for Week 14 against the Tennessee Titans. Reynolds was claimed off waivers from the Denver Broncos earlier this week, and while he has a chance to contribute amidst the Jaguars' numerous wide receiver injuries, it appears he'll need at least one more week to get integrated within the offense. Meanwhile, Johnson is inactive for the second week in a row as Jacksonville experiments with Keilan Robinson as its No. 3 running back behind Travis Etienne Jr. and Tank Bigsby. Both Reynolds and Johnson can be dropped to waivers in fantasy football.
Dec 8, 2024 11:50 AM EST
According to Mike Garafolo of the NFL Network, the Jacksonville Jaguars have claimed wide receiver Josh Reynolds. Reynolds was placed on the waivers by the Denver Broncos. The 29-year-old played in just the first five games of the regular season before suffering a finger fracture. During this stretch, Reynolds averaged 36.6 yards per game with 7.4 PPR points per game. With Jacksonville, fantasy managers should expect Reynolds to operate in a starting role, as several wideouts on that roster are on the injured reserve. While Brian Thomas Jr. will continue to see most of the opportunities alongside tight end Evan Engram, Reynolds is someone to monitor in deeper 3WR formats as he could carve out a viable role down the stretch.
Dec 4, 2024 4:46 PM EST
The Denver Broncos waived wide receiver Josh Reynolds (hand) on Tuesday as they head into their bye week, according to the team. Reynolds has been on Injured Reserve since Week 5 and had his 21-day practice window opened ahead of the team's Week 11 win over the Atlanta Falcons. He has been practicing over the last three weeks and looked ready to return from his hand injury, but now he'll be on the open market and will be looking to latch on with another team with the 2024 campaign in the home stretch. Before his injury, Reynolds caught 12 passes for 183 yards and a touchdown in five games in Denver, back when rookie quarterback Bo Nix was struggling to move the offense consistently. With Reynolds now out of the picture for the rest of the year, it's good news for rookies Devaughn Vele and Troy Franklin and Marvin Mims Jr. and Lil'Jordan Humphrey behind WR1 Courtland Sutton.
Dec 3, 2024 6:25 PM EST
Denver Broncos wide receiver Josh Reynolds (hand) has been downgraded from questionable to out for Monday night's contest against the visiting Cleveland Browns and he will remain on Injured Reserve head into next week's bye. Reynolds' 21-day activation window closes on Wednesday, though, so if the Broncos have visions of him contributing again this year, they must activate him from IR before that date. He has not played since Week 5 due to a hand injury that required surgery, and he also suffered gunshot wounds during an off-the-field incident. At the time of his injury, the 29-year-old was an untrustworthy WR4/5 in deeper fantasy leagues as a distant No. 2 behind Courtland Sutton. Since the injury, rookies Devaughn Vele and Troy Franklin and Lil'Jordan Humphrey and Marvin Mims Jr. have stepped up, so a limited role in the passing game should be expected for Reynold when/if he returns in 2024.
Dec 2, 2024 5:31 PM EST
Denver Broncos wide receiver Josh Reynolds (finger) is listed as questionable ahead of the Week 13 matchup against the Cleveland Browns. Reynolds has been a full participant in practice this week, but remains on the injured reserve on Saturday. The fact he hasn't been activated yet is probably why he's getting a questionable tag heading into this game. Reynolds has not played since Week 5 after being the victim of a shooting. He hasn't done much on the field when healthy this season, so fantasy managers can probably look elsewhere for help ahead of Monday's game.
Nov 30, 2024 7:08 PM EST
Despite practicing in full all week, the Denver Broncos ruled wide receiver Josh Reynolds (hand) out for Week 12 against the division-rival Las Vegas Raiders on Sunday. Although Reynolds is getting close to making his return, he'll remain on Injured Reserve for another week. The 29-year-old's next chance to play for the Broncos will be in Week 13 against the Cleveland Browns on Monday Night Football. In addition to landing on IR with a hand injury, Reynolds was shot multiple times in an off-the-field incident. Those injuries apparently aren't holding him back at all. When Reynolds does return, he'll be battling for targets behind Courtland Sutton with rookies Devaughn Vele and Troy Franklin and Lil'Jordan Humphrey. Denver's offense is peaking right now, but it's still hard to envision Reynolds having a consistent enough role to warrant fantasy attention in 12-team leagues.
