Jets may have lost Jermaine Johnson II (Achilles) for season

Field Level Media

New York Jets standout edge rusher Jermaine Johnson II likely tore his right Achilles tendon during Sunday's 24-17 road win over the Tennessee Titans.

"It's unfortunately looking like that," Jets coach Robert Saleh told reporters. "We'll confirm it tomorrow, but it doesn't look good."

Johnson will undergo an MRI exam to determine the severity.

Johnson was injured during the third quarter on a non-contact play while rushing Tennessee quarterback Will Levis. He immediately grabbed his right leg and was eventually carted off the field.

Johnson said he cried in the locker room and called his mom and other family members after being told he had a serious injury.

"I'm hoping for the best. We still have to clarify and make sure," Johnson told reporters. "It wasn't fun."

Johnson, 25, is in his third season after being a first-round choice (No. 26 overall) in the 2022 NFL Draft.

He recorded 7.5 sacks and made 55 tackles last season while making his first Pro Bowl.

Johnson had two tackles -- one for loss -- before being hurt.

Jets inside linebacker C.J. Mosley (right big toe) was carted off in the second quarter. He had three tackles before departing.

Saleh said he was hopeful Mosley will be available for Thursday night's home game against the New England Patriots.

Bender's Starts/Sits: Week 2

Player Notes
Jalen Tolbert Sep 15 5:20pm CT
Jalen Tolbert

Dallas Cowboys wide receiver Jalen Tolbert led the team in targets during Sunday's 44-19 loss to the New Orleans Saints. He caught six passes for 82 yards, including an impressive 39-yard reception. The 25-year-old averaged 9.1 yards per target and 13.7 yards per reception during Sunday's loss. As the Cowboys continue their search for a consistent No. 2 option behind CeeDee Lamb, Tolbert made a strong case for the role with his Week 2 performance. Currently rostered in just 4% of fantasy leagues, Tolbert could be a valuable waiver wire target, especially in deeper leagues next week. Tolbert will look to build on Sunday's performance in the Week 3 matchup against the Los Angeles Rams.

Chris Godwin Sep 15 5:20pm CT
Chris Godwin

Tampa Bay Buccaneers wide receiver Chris Godwin had seemingly no issues against the Detroit Lions in Week 2. Last week, Godwin finished with eight receptions for 83 yards and he was able to top that here. On Sunday, Godwin snagged seven of his eight targets for 117 yards and a touchdown in the win. It seems that moving Godwin back to the slot has really worked out for the Bucs offense. Normally, Godwin takes a backseat to fellow wideout Mike Evans, but not this week. It seems like Godwin and Mayfield have great chemistry and hopefully this continues going forward. Godwin has been excellent through the first two weeks and he should be a strong WR2 versus the Denver Broncos next week.

Mike Evans Sep 15 5:20pm CT
Mike Evans

Tampa Bay Buccaneers wide receiver Mike Evans was unable to carry his Week 1 success into Sunday's game against the Detroit Lions. The veteran wideout finished with 61 yards and two touchdowns in the season opener. However, he was only able to haul in three receptions for 42 yards in the Week 2 win over the Detroit Lions. Evans and quarterback Baker Mayfield weren't on the same page here as Evans only hauled in half of his targets. Fellow wideout Chris Godwin had a much better performance with over 100 yards on Sunday. Evans should be fine and remain on the WR1 radar for a favorable matchup against the Denver Broncos next week.

Ladd McConkey Sep 15 5:13pm CT
Ladd McConkey

Dynasty | Chargers rookie Ladd McConkey had two catches for 26 yards in the Chargers blowout win against the Panthers. Dynasty Analysis: Los Angeles got more than enough from JK Dobbins and Quentin Johnston in this one as McConkey was held in check. There should be better days ahead but McConkey willl need to string a few good games together to maintain his role after Johnston had a two-touchdown day and led the team in targets. McConkey's dynasty value is intact but he'll be a tough start moving forward.

Bryce Young Sep 15 5:13pm CT
Bryce Young

Dynasty | Panthers receiver Diontae Johnson had just three catches for 15 yards in the Panthers blowout loss to the Chargers. Dynasty Analysis: Johnson now has just five catches for 34 scoreless yards in his first two games in Carolina. It's hardly his fault as Bryce Young has done virtually nothing so far this season. At this point, Johnson is going to be a "must-sit" until we see something from an offense that looks as bad as any we've seen in years to start this season.

Christian McCaffrey Sep 15 5:13pm CT
Christian McCaffrey

Dynasty | 49ers running back Jordan Mason had 100 yards rushing and a touchdown in San Francisco's surprising loss at Minnesota. Dynasty Analysis: He added one catch for four yards. While Mason is hardly the same caliber of receiver Christian McCaffrey is, the offense seems very well-suited for his rushing style. His weekly ceiling may be capped moving forward if he doesn't get more targets. However, Mason has proven to be good enough to be a weekly starter, whether that's as a RB1 or RB2 moving forward.

Sam Darnold Sep 15 5:13pm CT
Sam Darnold

Dynasty | Vikings quarterback Sam Darnold completed 17-of-26 passes for 268 yards with two touchdowns and one interception in the Vikings win against San Francisco. Dynasty Analysis: Darnold has had a dream start to the year as he's led Minnesota to 51 points and two wins to start the season. While Darnold isn't putting up video game numbers, he's making solid decisions and taking care of the football. Today's game was extremely promising as he held strong against one of the league's toughest defenses. He could have had an even bigger game had Aaron Jones not fumbled a "would be" touchdown in the second half at the goal line. Darnold is going to be in consideration in Superflex leagues moving forward and should be rostered everywhere.

Sam Darnold Sep 15 5:13pm CT
Sam Darnold

Dynasty | Vikings wide receiver Justin Jefferson had four catches for 133 yards and a touchdown in Minnesota's win over the 49ers. Dynasty Analysis: Jefferson's day was highlighted by a 97-yard touchdown reception from a rejuvenated Sam Darnold. The bigger story could be the fact Jefferson left the game late with a quad injury. We'll wait and see just what the extent of the injury is but it's also clear Jefferson can maintain his WR1 status this year with or without Kirk Cousins after the second big day from Darnold.

Ty Chandler Sep 15 5:13pm CT
Ty Chandler

Dynasty | Vikings running back Ty Chandler had 82 yards on just ten carries in the Vikings win over San Francisco. Dynasty Analysis: More importantly, Chandler had ten carries and Aaron Jones had nine. While this is just one game, it seems Minnesota may be heading more towards a time-share at this point between the two running backs. Chandler is a must-own in dynasty leagues as we monitor his touches very closely over the next couple of weeks.

Jerome Ford Sep 15 5:13pm CT
Jerome Ford

Dynasty | Browns running back D'Onta Foreman had 42 yards on 14 carries in Cleveland's win over Jacksonville. Dynasty Analysis: More importantly, Foreman's 15 touches (he had one catch for nine yards) were more than the eight of Jerome Ford. Quite honestly, neither running back was very impressive on the day and the fact both were used this much may indeed make them unplayable going forward as the Cleveland offense has looked pretty inept so far this season. We'll continue to monitor the situation but neither back is going to be a recommended play until one or the other truly emerges.

Trevor Lawrence Sep 15 5:13pm CT
Trevor Lawrence

Dynasty | Jags rookie Brian Thomas had two catches for 94 yards in Jacksonville's loss against Cleveland. Dynasty Analysis: Thomas only had four targets on the day but made the most of them with a 66-yard catch. Trevor Lawrence seems to be spreading the ball around a lot but Thomas also looks like the most explosive receiver on the team. While he should remain on benches, Thomas has looked the part thus far in his rookie season and his potential seems to have justified his lofty rookie draft ranking thus far.

Brock Bowers Sep 15 5:13pm CT
Brock Bowers

Dynasty | Raiders tight end Brock Bowers had nine catches for 98 yards in the Raiders win over the Ravens. Dynasty Analysis: Bowers has done nothing to make anyone believe he's not the future at the position in dynasty leagues thus far after posting a whopping 15 catches in his first two games. While dynasty owners may be frustrating at him not finding the end zone yet, that's just a case of greed. Bowers is here to stay and looks like a "set it and forget it" option already in his young career.

Zay Flowers Sep 15 5:13pm CT
Zay Flowers

Dynasty | Ravens tight end Isaiah Likely had just two catches for 26 yards in Baltimore's loss to Las Vegas. Dynasty Analysis: This isn't a huge surprise as Baltimore's passing offense still runs through Zay Flowers and they tend to run the ball as much as possible. Still, this is a clear letdown after last week's massive explosion. The simple fact is the Ravens now have two very capable tight ends as Mark Andrews (4/51/0) and Likely are making a duo that looks great in reality but frustrating in dynasty leagues. Likely's ascension up the rankings will halt after this one and he's going to be a tough start moving forward until we see another solid outing.

Jayden Daniels Sep 15 5:13pm CT
Jayden Daniels

Dynasty | Jayden Daniels completed 23-of-29 passes for 226 yards, while adding 44 rushing yards in the Commanders win over the Giants. Dynasty Analysis: Daniels wasn't able to produce any touchdowns on the day but one thing is very clear after two weeks - Daniels has the "it" factor. Routinely making something out of nothing, Daniels simply willed the team to a win, his first as a starter in the NFL. There are going to be some better days statistically moving forward but it seems Washington has truly found their quarterback of the future. The buying window on Daniels is creeping shut.

Daniel Jones Sep 15 5:13pm CT
Daniel Jones

Dynasty | Giants wide receiver Malik Nabers had ten catches for 127 yards and a touchdown in the Giants loss against Washington. Dynasty Analysis: Even more impressive, Nabers had a whopping 18 (!) of the 28 targets from Daniel Jones. While this target share is impossible to maintain, it's clear going to Nabers is the best bet for the Giants to have any success on offense this season and they're making every effort to give him the ball. His status as the #2 rookie is cemented and he's a must-start, top-15 receiver moving forward this season.

Breece Hall Sep 15 5:13pm CT
Breece Hall

Dynasty | Jets rookie running back Braelon Allen had 33 rushing yards, two catches, 23 receiving yards and two touchdown in New York's win against Tennessee. Dynasty Analysis: The bad news is Allen was still out-touched 21-9 by Breece Hall. There is no running back controversy here as Hall is the unquestioned bellcow for the Jets. However, it's clear Allen has talent and if Hall was to ever miss time, Allen could be in line for a RB1 stretch. Allen remains a solid hold in dynasty leagues moving forward and a solid low-cost trade target for forward-thinking managers.

Anthony Richardson Sep 15 5:13pm CT
Anthony Richardson

Dynasty | Colts quarterback Anthony Richardson completed 17-of-34 passes for 204 yards with one touchdown and three interceptions in a loss against Green Bay. Dynasty Analysis: One of the interceptions was on a last second hail mary, so that can hardly count against him. Still, Richardson wasn't sharp and his fantasy day couldn't be salvaged, even with his 37 rushing yards. There is work to do here and while Richardson seems healthy, we need to see more consistency before making him a lineup lock moving forward - such is life in the NFL for young quarterbacks.

Malik Willis Sep 15 5:13pm CT
Malik Willis

Dynasty | Packers quarterback Malik Willis completed 12-of-14 passes for 122 yards with one touchdown and no interceptions in a win against Indianapolis. Dynasty Analysis: Willis also added 41 rushing yards on the day. The game plan for Green Bay is clear with Willis under center - they're going to run the ball with Josh Jacobs and have Willis manage football games. While that may seem like a buzzkill for dynasty managers, Willis looked surprisingly in control all day and while nobody is going to forget about Jordan Love, the trade Green Bay made for him looks like a genius move at this point. Willis belongs on dynasty rosters.

Brandin Cooks Sep 15 5:13pm CT
Brandin Cooks

Dallas Cowboys WR Brandin Cooks caught two passes for 19 yards against the New Orleans Saints in Week 2. He was targeted two times during the game.

Fantasy Spin: Cooks saw a drop in his production this week and behind a few other receivers on the depth chart. Cook's targets likely will not be consistent this season, so fantasy players probably can avoid him most weeks.

Cooper Kupp Sep 15 5:10pm CT
Cooper Kupp

Los Angeles Rams wide receiver Cooper Kupp (ankle) exited Sunday's meeting with the Cardinals. He is doubtful to return. With Puka Nacua (knee) sidelined, Kupp was potentially in line for a big showing, especially after his stellar performance versus the Lions. While there's still a chance he could return, it doesn't look good. If the 31-year-old doesn't make it back to the field for the rest of Week 2, he'll finish with four catches for 37 yards, with Demarcus Robinson, Tyler Johnson, and Tutu Atwell anticipated to see more attention from Matthew Stafford. Of course, Kyren Williams could also have his number called more than initially planned.
