2024 RTSports Outlook
Gipson was an undrafted rookie but made the Jets roster and had a role with the team. He was a top return man, being an asset on special teams. He also got some chances as a receiver, finishing with 21 receptions for 229 yards. He had one game with double-digit fantasy points. Gipson has a chance to be the top slot receiver for the Jets this season. He is a small, speed receiver with good moves in space. Gipson is a playmaker. He can get pushed around in coverage some because of his size and isn't much of a downfield threat.
FANTASY OUTLOOK: Gipson could get some more catches this year, making him worth a late-round look for fantasy owners. Just don't expect a very high weekly ceiling in his current role. He has some really good receivers ahead of him on the depth chart. He could get 40 receptions for 400 yards and a few scores.

New York Jets head coach Robert Saleh said wide receiver Xavier Gipson still has "first dibs" on the kick-return job this year, but that it's also an "open competition" involving former Pro Bowl return man Tarik Cohen. Saleh said the soon-to-be-signed running back is an "explosive playmaker" and remembers it being "a nightmare" trying to defend with the Chicago Bears. Cohen could be intriguing with the league's new kickoff rules, starting in 2024, but the 28-year-old speedster is going to need to finally stay healthy to put himself in a position to make an impact for the Jets on special teams. Gipson, a former undrafted free agent out of Stephen F. Austin, returned 33 punts for 319 yards and a touchdown and 22 kickoffs for 511 yards in his rookie campaign in 2023 as the Jets' primary return specialist.
