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.

Quentin Johnston News

Quentin Johnston Does Little in Loss

Sunday, September 13, 5:00 PM

Los Angeles Chargers wide receiver Quentin Johnston was an interesting start candidate given his plus matchup in Week 1. With Keenan Allen no longer in the mix, Johnston was expected to step into a larger role in the offense. Sadly for fantasy managers, Johnston wasn't able to live up to the hype on Sunday. The 25-year-old hauled in two of his six targets for 17 yards in the loss to the Arizona Cardinals. The good news is that Johnston was tied for second on the team with his six targets. The bad news is, he did basically nothing with it. Fellow wideout Ladd McConkey (chest) exited early during Sunday's loss. Johnston could be asked to take on a larger role in the passing game if McConkey isn't ready to go for Week 2 against the Las Vegas Raiders.
