Every game gets a JustJ pick — ATS side and total. Posted numbers are used the moment books hang them; until then the pick is quoted on the JustJ line and refreshes each week.
Schedule & market notes
- Bye: Week 13 — a late bye — a long front half of the season before any scheduled rest.
- No Thursday, Friday, Saturday, or Monday games on the slate — a full schedule of standard Sunday rest, which removes short-week variance as a factor this season.

Margin & schedule
Margin of victory -11.9 (32nd) · Strength of schedule -0.6
- Home / road: A total roster teardown (Gardner, Quinnen Williams, and Johnson II all traded away) under Aaron Glenn — treat every Jets number as a rebuilding team until proven otherwise.
- Trend: New York picked up a haul of draft capital (three future first-round picks) in the trade deadline fire sale — the front office is clearly building for 2027 and beyond, not necessarily competing in 2026.

Power ratings & 2025 results
- 2025 record: 3-14-0 — Points For 300, Points Against 503 (differential -203).
- Margin of Victory: -11.9 pts/game — the average scoring margin across all 2025 games, win or lose.
- Strength of Schedule (SoS): -0.6 — Pro-Football-Reference's SRS-based measure of 2025 opponent quality; positive means a tougher slate than average.
- SRS (power rating): -12.5 — Simple Rating System score, which converts directly to a projected point spread on a neutral field against a leagueaverage team.
- Offensive SRS: -6.0 · Defensive SRS: -6.5 — the SRS power rating split into offensive and defensive components; higher offensive and higher defensive figures are both better.
- Turnover differential: -19 — total takeaways minus giveaways across the 2025 season, one of the more volatile year-to-year metrics and worth weighing against the rest of this profile rather than on its own.

Handicapping notes
- Turf: MetLife Stadium — 2025: 3-14 straight-up, 8-9 against the spread.
- : A total roster teardown (Gardner, Quinnen Williams, and Johnson II all traded away) under Aaron Glenn — treat every Jets number as a rebuilding team until proven otherwise.
- : New York picked up a haul of draft capital (three future first-round picks) in the trade deadline fire sale — the front office is clearly building for 2027 and beyond, not necessarily competing in 2026.
Pro Bowlers
- Offense: None — no Jets offensive player made the 2025-season Pro Bowl.
- Defense: None — the Jets had zero Pro Bowl selections after a 3-14 season that saw the team trade away Sauce Gardner, Quinnen Williams, and Jermaine Johnson II.

returning starter; 7th NFL season, one of the few defensive veterans retained through New York's roster teardown.
LB Jamien SherwoodAuburn
returning starter; 6th NFL season, emerged as a full-time every-down linebacker in recent years.
Francisco Mauigoa (LB, Miami (FL)) — still on his rookie contract (2025 draft pick). 2nd NFL season; part of the young core Aaron Glenn is building the defensive rebuild around.

Season fantasy tracker
Weekly fantasy scoring for these players appears here once 2026 games go final — each week's points are graded in standard 12-team scoring and rolled into the actual FPPG above.
Environment
- Home games: outdoor stadium — late-season (Dec./Jan.) home dates carry real weather risk for passing-game and kicking volume.
- Road dome/retractable-roof games: ideal weather-neutral spots for maximum fantasy production: Wk 3 (Detroit Lions), Wk 11 (Los Angeles Chargers), Wk 15 (Arizona Cardinals).
- 2025 recap: Garrett Wilson remained a productive target earner despite the roster teardown, Breece Hall's efficiency dipped behind a struggling offense, and the QB situation stayed unsettled most of the year.
- 2026 projection: Wilson projects as a solid WR2/3 target earner even in a rebuilding offense. Hall retains real receiving-work value but touchdown equity is a question on a team that trails often. Geno Smith's return to New York caps the passing offense's overall ceiling as a streaming-only option.
- Garrett Wilson: Pro: elite route-runner who earns targets regardless of the QB situation. Con: a rebuilding offense caps his touchdown equity.
- Breece Hall: Pro: real receiving-work floor in obvious passing situations. Con: a losing team's game script can limit his overall touches and touchdowns. A FC E A ST NEW YORK JETS
