Jets' Xavier Gipson: Could emerge as No. 3 receiver
Xavier Gipson is expected to serve as the New York Jets' No. 3 receiver beginning with Sunday's game at Arizona after New York traded Mike Williams to Pittsburgh on Tuesday, Rich Cimini of ESPN.com reports.While the departure of Williams will open up some snaps at receiver, Gipson likely won't serve as an every-down player like Garrett Wilson and Davante Adams. The Jets are expected to make heavy use of two tight ends sets featuring Tyler Conklin and Jeremy Ruckert that would leave Gipson on the sideline, and 2024 third-round pick Malachi Corley could also be in the mix on three-wide sets. Gipson will continue to offer his most utility in fantasy leagues that count return yardage, as he seems locked in as the Jets' top kickoff and punt returner.

Jets' Xavier Gipson: Two fumbles go out of bounds
Gispon had two kickoff returns for 51 yards and two punt returns for four yards but wasn't targeted on offense in Sunday's 37-15 loss to the Steelers.Xavier Gipson was on the field for only one play on offense, as he remains a non-factor in a receiving corps that now includes Davante Adams. The return man dropped the ball twice on punt returns, but both fumbles went out of bounds. Gipson's a dangerous return man, but he'll need to get the ball-security issues under control lest his special-teams role shrinks as well.

Jets' Xavier Gipson: No targets in London loss
Xavier Gipson wasn't targeted in Sunday's 23-17 loss to the Vikings and returned two punts for 31 yards.Aaron Rodgers threw the ball 54 times, but none of those passes were directed at Gipson, as the New York Jets utilized Garrett Wilson, Allen Lazard and Mike Williams in three-receiver sets. Gipson contributed to the Jets' comeback bid with a 31-yard punt return, which helped set up New York's first touchdown late in the first half. He's a good special teams player but doesn't have much of a role on offense at the moment.

Jets' Xavier Gipson: Catches only one of four targets
Xavier Gipson caught one of four targets for six yards while adding two kickoff returns for 50 yards and five punt returns for 31 yards in Sunday's 10-9 loss to the Broncos.Gipson got plenty of special-teams opportunities as offense was hard to come by in rainy conditions at MetLife Stadium, but he had a forgettable afternoon on offense. The second-year pro set a season high in targets, but he didn't exactly earn Aaron Rodgers' trust, registering a drop and then failing to get his head around on a pivotal third-down pass late in the game.

Jets' Xavier Gipson: Makes first two catches of 2024
Xavier Gipson caught both of his targets for 16 yards and had four punt returns for 27 yards in Thursday's 24-3 win over the Patriots.Gipson was one of eight New York Jets to catch multiple passes in Thursday's win, as Aaron Rodgers had his best game as a Jet with 281 passing yards and two touchdowns. While Gipson's shiftiness offers a path to playing time in the slot and as a gadget piece, most of his contributions have come on special teams, with Garrett Wilson, Mike Williams and Allen Lazard all well ahead of the second-year pro in the team's wide receiver pecking order.

Jets' Xavier Gipson: No targets again
Xavier Gipson wasn't targeted in Sunday's 24-17 win over the Titans. He had two kickoff returns for 57 yards and three punt returns for 35 yards.Gipson's snap share on offense plummeted from 59 to 11 percent, corresponding with an increase from 18 to 65 percent for Mike Williams. As long as Williams, Garrett Wilson and Allen Lazard are healthy, those three are poised to operate in the majority of three-receiver sets, leaving Gipson relegated primarily to a special-teams role.

Jets' Xavier Gipson: Blanked on Monday
Xavier Gipson wasn't targeted in Monday's 32-19 loss to the 49ers, but he had three kickoff returns for 77 yards and a four-yard punt return.Gipson was the intended receiver of a Tyrod Taylor pass on a two-point conversion in the final minute, but that play doesn't go down in the books as an official target. The slot receiver actually played 30 snaps on offense compared to just nine for Mike Williams and one for Malachi Corley. Once Williams is up to speed, he'll likely join Garrett Wilson and Allen Lazard in three-receiver sets, but Gipson's usage suggests the second-year pro is capable of providing some value on offense early in the season, despite Monday's ineffectual season debut.

Jets' Xavier Gipson: Back on practice field
Xavier Gipson (leg) returned to practice Tuesday, Andy Vasquez of The Bergen Record reports.Gipson had been sidelined since the late July with an undisclosed leg injury, making his return a notable development for the New York Jets' offense. In addition to profiling as New York's top return man, especially since the surprise retirement of Tarik Cohen, Gipson figures to rotate alongside Allen Lazard and Malachi Corley in the No. 3 wide receiver role behind Garrett Wilson and Mike Williams (knee), the latter of whom remains on the active/PUP list.
