The New York Jets will face the New England Patriots in Week 8. Here’s the latest fantasy football news and advice to help you with your lineups this week and moving forward, especially regarding WR Davante Adams.
Is Davante Adams Playing in Week 8?
Adams is not listed on the injury report this week, so barring any setbacks, he is on track to play this weekend.

Should You Start or Sit Davante Adams in Week 8?
Adams was targeted on his first route run as a Jet (incomplete), but his reunion with Aaron Rodgers was awfully underwhelming.
Adams’ production, Weeks 1-3:
- 1.66 yards/route
- 10.5 aDOT
- 21.4% on field target%
- 26% slot
Adams’ production, Week 7:
- 0.77 yards /route
- 7.6 aDOT
- 23.1% on-field target share
- 50.9% slot
Expecting this connection to pick up where it left off was never reasonable, and last week proved as much. Could a full week of practice make the difference?
It’s at least possible and enough hope for me to keep him in lineups across the board.
“The Patriots aim to take away your top option.” We’ve heard that narrative for as long as I can remember, but with Bill Belichick on TV sets across America, New England is struggling to do that.
When they played the Bengals in Week 1, Ja’Marr Chase was the most productive receiver. What about the Seahawks in Week 2? DK Metcalf. And these Jets in Week 3? Garrett Wilson. You get the idea. In six of seven games, the receiver you’d expect the opponent to be most interested in getting the ball to has led the WR room in PPR fantasy points.
Adams is my WR15 this week, ranking in the Tee Higgins, Stefon Diggs, and Amari Cooper range at the position.

New York Jets at New England Patriots Insights
New York Jets
Team: The Jets were 4-3 through seven games last season and scored on 29.4% of their drives. They are 2-5 this season, scoring on 30.3% of their drives.
QB: The quick hitters that Rodgers has thrived on in the past are gone. He’s thrown 123 passes in 2.7 seconds or less over the past four games, and none of them have resulted in a touchdown (four interceptions).
Offense: During their four-game losing streak, the Jets have scored 61 points, including the Hail Mary to end the first half of Week 6 against the Bills.
Defense: Only the Falcons (3.9) allow fewer yards per reception after the catch than the Jets (4.3).
Fantasy: Breece Hall has two top-10 finishes since the coaching change (he had one top-10 week prior to it).
Betting: Aaron Rodgers is 7-4 ATS for his career against the AFC East with unders cashing in eight of those 11 games.
New England Patriots
Team: The Patriots have lost four of their past five games by at least 16 points, and they lost four of their previous 56 regular-season games by at least 16 points.
QB: Drake Maye has multiple touchdown passes and at least 15 rushing yards in each of his first two career starts – he joins Drew Lock (2019) and Bruce Gradkowski (2006) as the only QBs to do that over the past 20 seasons.
Offense: The Patriots’ rushing success rate has been 8.8% since Drake Maye became the starting quarterback two weeks ago. No other offense has had a lower rate than 20% in that span.
Defense: New England allowed 30 points in regulation through the first two weeks this season – since: 28.4 PPG.
Fantasy: If you extend Hunter Henry’s numbers in Drake Maye’s starts for a full season, you’re looking at 94 catches for 1,131 yards and 8.5 touchdowns.
Betting: The Patriots are the worst home ATS team since the start of the 2021 season (9-18-2, 33.3%).
