Barring health, New York Jets wide receiver Josh Reynolds (hip) is slated to operate as the team's No. 1 wideout in this Sunday's road clash with the Cincinnati Bengals. The veteran led New York in targets in last weekend's 13-6 loss to the Carolina Panthers, and will have a chance to do so again with teammate Garrett Wilson (knee) deemed inactive for a second straight contest. Unfortunately for Reynolds, he was a late-week addition to the injury report with a hip ailment, subsequently missing Friday's practice. Due to the timing of the injury, it's possible that the 30-year-old, who is listed as questionable, doesn't suit up himself. In that instance, rookie Arian Smith figures to lead New York's WR corps in snaps, with Allen Lazard and Tyler Johnson vying for playing time behind him. If Reynolds plays, he'll rank as RotoBaller's PPR WR57 for Week 8.

New York Jets wide receiver Josh Reynolds (hip) is officially listed as questionable to play on Sunday in Week 8 versus the hosting Cincinnati Bengals, according to Rich Cimini of ESPN. Reynolds was supposed to be limited in Friday's practice, according to head coach Aaron Glenn, but he was unable to suit up. This is pretty concerning for an 0-7 Jets squad that already ruled out top wideout Garrett Wilson (knee) for the second straight game. If Reynolds ends up being inactive, too, the Jets would be down to Arian Smith, Allen Lazard, and Tyler Johnson as their top receivers, with veteran quarterback Tyrod Taylor (knee) presumably starting under center. Even against a very beatable Bengals defense, the Jets could be headed for a third straight game without an offensive touchdown. Reynolds led the team in targets in last week's loss to the Panthers with Wilson out, but he caught only three of his nine looks for 29 yards and no touchdowns.
Oct 24, 2025 5:47 PM EST
The New York Jets could be without both star wide receiver Garrett Wilson (knee) and rookie tight end Mason Taylor (quad) in Week 8, as both players missed practice on Thursday due to injury. That would likely put veteran wide receiver Josh Reynolds in position to be his team's top option in the passing game in a favorable matchup against the Cincinnati Bengals. With Wilson sidelined in Week 7, Reynolds was targeted nine times, hauling in three catches for 29 yards. New York has yet to name a starter at quarterback for Week 8, and neither Tyrod Taylor (knee) nor Justin Fields projects to provide Reynolds with top-tier quarterback play. Still, the opportunity for massive target volume makes Reynolds a viable streaming option for fantasy managers. In Week 8 against Cincinnati, Reynolds profiles as a low-end PPR flex option in deep leagues.

New York Jets wide receiver Josh Reynolds will get a chance to operate as the team's WR1 in this weekend's home matchup with the Carolina Panthers. Reynolds has been off the fantasy radar all season in New York's low-volume passing attack. However, he'll have an opportunity to shine this Sunday with teammate Garrett Wilson (knee) battling a hyperextended knee. While Wilson is officially listed as doubtful, it's expected that he will be unavailable in Week 7, leaving Reynolds and tight end Mason Taylor as the Jets' primary pass catchers outside of running back Breece Hall. Even with the suspected bump in usage, the 30-year-old remains a lower-end option for fantasy, landing as RotoBaller's PPR WR47 for his outing with Carolina.
Oct 17, 2025 9:01 PM EST
New York Jets wide receiver Josh Reynolds is expected to see a bump in usage as Garrett Wilson (knee) is expected to miss some time. Reynolds operated as the clear No. 2 WR opposite Wilson, who was the focal point of the passing attack, and his production won't be directly replaced. Reynolds has just eight catches for 72 yards on 12 targets for the season. The Jets' pass game has been ineffective under Justin Fields, but they'll look to bounce back in Week 7 against Carolina. Reynolds and rookie tight end Mason Taylor are likely to see more targets come their way. The veteran WR has some low-end flex appeal in deeper leagues for Week 7.
Oct 17, 2025 9:47 AM EST
ESPN's Rich Cimini reports that New York Jets wide receiver Josh Reynolds (hip) was taking part in the portion of practice that was open to the media on Thursday. It's progress for Reynolds after he was listed as a non-participant in practice on Wednesday. It's good news for the Jets offense, with top wideout Garrett Wilson (knee) expected to miss Week 7 against the Carolina Panthers due to a hyperextended knee that he suffered in Sunday's loss in London to the Denver Broncos. Reynolds still isn't necessarily in the clear to play this weekend, but a return to practice puts him on the right track to be active in Week 7. And with Wilson probably unavailable against Carolina, Reynolds could lead New York in targets as they look for their first win in 2025. Reynolds deserves attention on the waiver wire in deeper leagues with Wilson injured, but expectations must be tempered in one of the worst passing offenses in football.
Oct 16, 2025 1:14 PM EST
New York Jets head coach Aaron Glenn said that wide receiver Josh Reynolds (hip) will not take the practice field on Wednesday. Top wideout Garrett Wilson (knee) also won't practice after hyperextending his knee in the loss to the Denver Broncos in London on Sunday, and he's expected to miss multiple weeks. It means that Reynolds could operate as New York's top pass-catcher in Week 7 against the Carolina Panthers, although now the 30-year-old's status is up in the air with a DNP coming on Wednesday. If the Jets are without both Wilson and Reynolds this weekend, rookie tight end Mason Taylor could be the Jets' top receiver in what has been an ugly passing game so far through six weeks. Receivers Allen Lazard (personal), Arian Smith and Tyler Johnson would start in three-wide sets for the Jets if both Wilson and Reynolds are sidelined.
Oct 15, 2025 12:41 PM EST
New York Jets wide receiver Josh Reynolds is in line to see a significant increase in usage in Week 7, with fellow wide receiver Garrett Wilson (knee) expected to miss time with injury. Wilson hyperextended his knee in Sunday's loss to the Denver Broncos, and although he was in and out of the game, it now appears he'll miss at least the team's next outing. The 25-year-old has been one of the Jets' lone bright spots, and it's unlikely that his shoes are filled by one player alone. With that said, Reynolds is the clear-cut WR2 in terms of snap share. Rookie tight end Mason Taylor and running back Breece Hall figure to absorb some of the vacant targets for as long as Wilson is sidelined, but the veteran should be out there most frequently among his position-mates. He carries some low-end PPR appeal depending on Wilson's status.
Oct 14, 2025 11:42 AM EST
New York Jets wide receiver Josh Reynolds again won't be a recommended option for fantasy this weekend when his team takes on the Denver Broncos at Tottenham Hotspur Stadium in London. When healthy, the 30-year-old is the only other Jets' receiver out there for more than 60% of the snaps other than running mate Garrett Wilson. However, Reynolds has racked up just five receptions and 47 yards across nine targets (three appearances). Meanwhile, rookie tight end Mason Taylor is ascending, commanding 19 targets over the previous two weeks. While Wilson projects to have a favorable day against an underperforming Patrick Surtain II, Reynolds and the rest of New York's pass-catchers will be in for a slog against a stout unit. The veteran is RotoBaller's PPR WR91 for Week 6's matchup.
Oct 11, 2025 3:46 PM EST
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.
Oct 4, 2025 1:56 PM EST
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.
Sep 27, 2025 7:24 PM EST
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.
Sep 19, 2025 11:40 AM EST
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.
