Allen Lazard Playing Against the Falcons

Sunday, November 30, 12:02 PM

New York Jets wide receiver Allen Lazard (neck) is officially active for the Week 13 game on Sunday against the visiting Atlanta Falcons. Lazard was listed as questionable to play this week due to a neck injury, but he's good to go and will serve as receiver depth for a weak Jets passing attack led by veteran quarterback Tyrod Taylor. Even though Garrett Wilson (knee) is on Injured Reserve, Lazard has been quickly passed on the WR depth chart by newcomers John Metchie III and Adonai Mitchell. The 29-year-old pass-catcher has not caught more than two passes in any of his seven games played in 2025, and he has just 54 receiving yards and one touchdown on eight catches. Lazard should be ignored in most fantasy football leagues against Atlanta on Sunday.

Luther Burden III Exits with Ankle Injury

Sunday, December 14, 4:00 PM

Chicago Bears wide receiver Luther Burden III (ankle) is questionable to return to Sunday's matchup with the visiting Cleveland Browns, according to the team. The rookie hauled in 6-of-7 targets for 84 yards (all team-highs) before exiting the contest in the second half with an ankle injury. If Burden is unable to rejoin his squad on the field, fellow wideout DJ Moore projects to see a considerable uptick in volume. Teammate Rome Odunze (foot) has already been ruled out after re-aggravating his foot issue, so Moore, Olamide Zaccheaus, and Devin Duvernay remain as the only active WRs without a designation. Expect an update on the University of Missouri product soon.
