Jets Release Allen Lazard

Tuesday, December 16, 10:48 AM

The New York Jets are releasing wide receiver Allen Lazard, Zack Rosenblatt of The Athletic reports. Lazard hasn't played a significant role for the Jets this season, collecting 10 catches for 70 yards on 18 targets in 10 games. His snap share dipped to just 22.4% over the past three games after averaging 45.7% over his first seven games. The 29-year-old wideout was passed on the depth chart by trade-deadline acquisitions Adonai Mitchell and John Metchie III, who both present more youth and upside at the WR position. Lazard will likely be scooped by another team in the coming days, but he can be ignored in fantasy football.

Puka Nacua News

Puka Nacua Back at Practice on Sunday

Sunday, August 30, 3:34 PM

Los Angeles Rams wide receiver Puka Nacua (groin) returned to practice on Sunday, according to Sarah Barshop of ESPN.com. Nacua avoided being placed on the Commissioner's Exempt List when Roger Goodell handed down a flurry of punishments to other players on Sunday, and now, the superstar receiver is also healthy enough to practice. The 25-year-old finished last season as the overall WR1 in PPR leagues, and he currently checks in as the WR2 in RotoBaller's latest redraft rankings for the 2026 season. As it stands, Nacua is on track to play in Week 1 against the San Francisco 49ers, but a lot could change between now and the Rams' regular season opener on September 10. In the event that he does miss any time, Davante Adams would step up as Matthew Stafford's favorite target while jumping to the WR1 tier.
