| The second game changing thing I noticed was the fact that the Jets have completely been shellacked by tight ends this season. While the Patriots clearly have the best tight end in the game and look like they have found a pretty good #2 option, the Jets haven't found a way to stop guys whose names you may not have heard. That is unless you went against them in fantasy football the week they played the Jets. The first two games of the season the Jets were competitive when they went against the Oakland Raiders and Green Bay Packers. Since neither team really has a tight end, this deficiency went unnoticed. Enter game 3 against Chicago when Martellus Bennett (who?) caught 5 passes for 54 yards and 2 touchdowns. Week 4 Eric Ebron (rookie) and Brandon Pettigrew combined for 5 receptions for 53 yards and Elb touchdown. Week 5 against San Diego, eight time Pro-Bowler, Antonio Gates had 4 catches for 60 yards and 2 touchdowns. Last week another guy you've heard of, Julias Thomas, also had 2 touchdowns and 4 catches (51 yards) against the Jets. |
