Ruckert moved up the depth chart his second season and was the top backup tight end for the Jets. He got a few more chances, catching 16 passes for 151 yards. He is expected to serve a similar backup role this season. Ruckert is a solid blocker, which will get him playing time. He just won't do much in the passing game. Ruckert lacks a little speed and is just a so-so route runner. He can be a punishing blocker, though.
FANTASY OUTLOOK: Ruckert might get a few more targets this year, but that won't help your fantasy team. He just won't get a lot of work in the passing game. Look for around 20 receptions for 200 yards.

New York Jets tight ends Jeremy Ruckert and Kenny Yeboah caught a combined 18 passes for 179 yards and no touchdowns last season, but Jets reporter Robby Sabo expects them both to be "heavily involved" in the offense behind starter Tyler Conklin. "The reason they sent Uzomah packing and did not add to the TE room is due to the Jets' comfort with both players," Sabo wrote. While Conklin should be the clear target leader at the position, Ruckert or Yeboah could earn targets early in the season while Mike Williams (knee) recovers from his early-season ACL tear and rookie Malachi Corley gets comfortable in the offense. While neither player is worth drafting in most formats, they've been impressive at OTAs and should be monitored in deep tight-end premium setups.

New York Jets tight end Jeremy Ruckert (concussion) has been ruled out for Week 18. The 23-year-old suffered a concussion in Week 16 against the Washington Commanders and has not practiced since that game. Ruckert's season ends having caught 16 of his 22 targets for 151 receiving yards. With Ruckert out for the season finale, Kenny Yeboah will see a slight increase in work as Tyler Conklin's backup. Last week against the Cleveland Browns Yeboah caught two passes for 28 yards, which accounts for all of his offensive production since being activated from injured reserve in Week 14.

New York Jets tight end Jeremy Ruckert (concussion) missed practice on Monday and will not play against the Cleveland Browns in Week 17, head coach Robert Saleh told the media. With the Jets heading into a short week, it simply would not be feasible to expect Ruckert to clear concussion protocol in time for kickoff. The 23-year-old has been a depth option this season, playing in all 15 games but registering just 16 catches and 151 yards. Kenny Yeboah should earn more snaps behind Tyler Conklin on Thursday night.
