Jets' Xavier Gipson: Cedes slot job to Corley

He also returned two kickoffs for 81 yards and added a punt return for no gain.Gipson played just 19 snaps on offense compared to Malachi Corley's 41, suggesting that Corley has surpassed Gipson as the New York Jets' preferred option in the slot. While Gipson remained involved as a return man on special teams, he also faces increased competition for that role, as Kene Nwangwu logged three kickoff returns in his Jets debut Sunday, one of which went for a 99-yard touchdown.

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.

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 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.
