Jets Week 9 outlook
The Jets are 2-8... actually 2-6, losers of three straight after dropping shootouts to the Raiders and Dolphins before falling to New England 26-19. Points for and against are both middling, but the defense has slipped in recent weeks. Kansas City comes to town in Week 9, and the market gives New York just a 21.4% win chance, reflecting the gap between the two rosters right now.
The injury report complicates things further. Breece Hall is dealing with a quad issue and is listed as out in this week's projections, which opens touches for Braelon Allen, projected for 12.0 points against a Chiefs run defense ranked 10th-easiest. Up front, the Jets are thin with Max Mitchell (concussion) and Dylan Parham (knee) both banged up, and the pass rush loses Joseph Ossai and T'Vondre Sweat, both out.
For fantasy purposes, the matchup chart favors Jets skill players. Kansas City ranks near the bottom of the league against quarterbacks and wide receivers, and it shows in the projections: Geno Smith at 17.0 points, Omar Cooper Jr. at 13.0, and Adonai Mitchell at 12.0 all carry strong matchup grades. Garrett Wilson projects lower at 10.5 but still draws a favorable matchup number.
