Lazard caught two of four targets for 11 yards in Sunday's 24-17 win over the Titans. Lazard came back down to earth after a two-touchdown season debut. He played 82 percent of the offensive snaps, but Mike Williams' snap share jumped from 18 to 65 percent, and the former Charger figures to surpass Lazard as the No. 2 wide receiver behind Garrett Wilson once he's fully up to speed. Lazard's proficient blocking and chemistry with Aaron Rodgers should keep him on the field, but the sell-high window on the veteran wideout may have already slammed shut ahead of Thursday's home opener against the Patriots.

Mike Williams (51 percent rostered) is likely the better Jets receiver to stash since he could play a prominent role when fully healthy, but he's still working his way back from last year's torn ACL. Williams was used more as a decoy in Week 1 at San Francisco and didn't receive a target. Lazard, meanwhile, had a huge game with six catches for 89 yards and two touchdowns on nine targets, but one score came on a free play when the 49ers jumped offsides, with the second touchdown in garbage time from Tyrod Taylor. Don't chase this production from Lazard, but he is worth adding for 1 percent of your remaining FAB to see what happens until Williams is back to his normal self.

Lazard caught six of nine targets for 89 yards and two touchdowns in Monday's 32-19 loss to the 49ers. Early on, Lazard looked like the same player that caught just 23 of 49 targets for 311 yards last season, as he dropped a catchable ball on third down to end the Jets' opening drive and finished without a catch on two first-half targets. He turned things around in the second half, rekindling his chemistry with Aaron Rodgers from their Packers days with a 26-yard catch and a 36-yard touchdown reception in a four-play span. Lazard added a three-yard touchdown catch in the final minute from backup quarterback Tyrod Taylor, who replaced Rodgers for mop-up duty with the game out of reach. It took Lazard just one game to double last season's touchdown total, and he should continue to play a prominent role Week 2 against the Titans, as the Jets are bringing fellow wide receiver Mike Williams (zero targets) along slowly early in the season as Williams recovers from last September's ACL tear.

Lazard didn't play in Saturday's 15-12 preseason win over the Panthers. Lazard is among numerous offensive players who have sat out the Jets' first two preseason games. Despite mustering a meager 311 receiving yards in 2023, he's a lock to make the team in 2024, and the 28-year-old wide receiver is hoping that the return of Aaron Rodgers under center will elevate the entire offense. Garrett Wilson and Mike Williams (knee) are projected to open the season as starters on the outside with Lazard -- who had 788 yards and six touchdowns with Rodgers as his quarterback in Green Bay in 2022 -- in a bench role.

Lazard finished the season with 23 catches for 311 yards and one touchdown on 49 targets. Lazard signed a four-year, $44 million contract with the Jets in the offseason and was expected to offer a familiar face on the outside for Aaron Rodgers, but after Rodgers tore his Achilles in Week 1, Lazard failed to establish any chemistry with New York's other quarterbacks despite handling a starting role on the outside for most of the season. He appeared in 14 games, sitting two out as a healthy scratch and missing one due to an illness. The Jets have almost no choice but to bring Lazard back given his contract, but they'll almost certainly look for an upgrade at wide receiver to start opposite Garrett Wilson and push Lazard down the depth chart in 2024.
