Who Should I Start? Jacques Patrick or JaMycal Hasty

Monday, January 8, 7:41 PM

The New York Jets signed running back Jacques Patrick, wide receivers Malik Taylor and Lance McCutcheon, defensive linemen Stephen Jones and Marquiss Spencer, offensive lineman Vitaliy Gurman and Eze Obinna, cornerback Tae Hayes and kicker Austin Seibert to futures deals on Monday. Patrick was cut by the Tennessee Titans on Oct. 24 and signed with the Jets practice squad on Dec. 19. The 27-year-old has only played in two NFL games, back in 2021 with the San Francisco 49ers. Taylor got into two games for the Jets in 2023 and caught two passes for 13 yards. McCutcheon was cut by the Houston Texans in early October and latched onto the team's practice squad on Oct. 24. The 24-year-old didn't appear in a single game for New York and had zero catches on five targets in 10 games for the Los Angeles Rams in 2022.

New England Patriots running back JaMycal Hasty (ankle) was a full participant during Tuesday's practice session. This is good news after Hasty was forced to miss last week's loss to the Buffalo Bills due to an ankle injury. The 28-year-old as mainly been used as the third-down back while also operating as the primary kick returner. His status won't make a difference for fantasy purposes, but having Hasty out there would be a benefit to the Pats special teams unit ahead of Saturday's game against the Los Angeles Chargers.
