2024 Outlook
Jeremy Ruckert caught all three of his targets for 37 yards during the Jets' 30-6 win over the Texans in Week 14.
Fantasy Impact
Ruckert operated as the No. 2 tight end behind Tyler Conklin but still carved out a solid role. With that said, given his secondary role on the depth chart, he's off the fantasy radar.
Jeremy Ruckert caught three of his four targets for 25 yards in a 32-6 loss to the Bills in Week 11.
Fantasy Impact
Ruckert finished second on the team in receiving in the blowout loss. The Jets talked about how they wanted to get Ruckert more invovled in the offense earlier in the week and they did just that as he set season highs in targets and catches. The former third-round pick is an interesting name to keep an eye on in deep, tight-end premium dynasty leagues moving forward.
Jeremy Ruckert could potentially his playing time increase soon.
Fantasy Impact
Jets head coach Robert Saleh stated Wednesday that Ruckert "deserves to play a little bit more." The second-year TE has seen very little usage over the 18 games in which he's appeared since being selected in the third round of the 2022 Draft. This season, Ruckert has secured just 5 of 6 targets for 43 yards. However, he might be on the cusp of taking some of the snap share from C.J. Uzomah and, to a lesser extent, Tyler Conklin.
Jeremy Ruckert caught two passes for 26 yards in the Jets' 23-20 loss to the Chiefs on Sunday night.
Fantasy Impact
Ruckert had not been targeted through the first three weeks, so the fact that he caught a career-high two passes on Sunday is noteworthy. It's also interesting to point out that Ruckert saw his snap share take a massive jump from two percent in Week 3 to a career-high 42 percent in Week 4. With that said, he still projects as the Jets' No. 3 tight end behind Tyler Conklin and C.J. Uzomah going forward.
Jets’ head coach Robert Saleh shared that TE Jeremy Ruckert dealt with plantar fasciitis last season.
Fantasy Impact
The team selected Ruckert in the third round with the confidence that he would recover. Although it was a slow process, he has impressed the coaching staff in OTAs. Ruckert currently ranks as the TE62 in ECR, according to FantasyPros.
