Elijah Moore (concussion) and Marquise Goodwin (knee) are questionable Week 18.

New York Jets trade WR Elijah Moore and a 3rd-round pick to the Cleveland Browns for their 2nd-round pick.

NYJ WR Elijah Moore (personal) did not practice.

Elijah Moore will be placed on IR and will miss Sunday's game against the New Orleans Saints. In his absence the top receivers for the Jets will be Jamison Crowder, Keelan Cole, Braxton Berrios, and Denzel Mims. Crowder can be considered in most formats due to his expected volume and middling 4.7K price on DK.

Tevin Coleman and Trevon Wesco have been ruled out for Sunday's game against the New Orleans Saints, while Elijah Moore is considered questionable. With Coleman out, Ty Johnson and recent signing Austin Walter will likely split the backfield work with La'Mical Perine available to back them both up. Johnson seems to be slated to see slightly more action and can be considered the better of the two options. With Wesco ruled out, Kenny Yeboah and Daniel Brown will likely split backup tight end duties behind Ryan Griffin (trending to be available). If Moore were to be officially ruled out, Jamison Crowder and Keelan Cole would play much larger roles in the offense and could be considered based strictly on expected volume.

Ryan Griffin returned to practice Thursday, while Elijah Moore, Tevin Coleman, and Trevon Wesco all logged their second straight DNP. It looks like Griffin is trending in the right direction to play Sunday and should be considered the top tight end for the Jets. If Coleman were to miss, Ty Johnson and recent signing Austin Walter would likely split the backfield work and become much better plays. If Moore were to be ruled out, Jamison Crowder and Keelan Cole would play much larger roles in the offense and could be considered based strictly on expected volume. If Wesco were to miss Kenny Yeboah and Daniel Brown would likely split backup tight end duties behind Griffin. It will be important to check the injury report released tomorrow to see what the status of each player is.

Tevin Coleman, Elijah Moore, Ryan Griffin, and Trevon Wesco all logged DNPs Wednesday. If Coleman were to miss, Ty Johnson and recent signing Austin Walter would likely split the backfield work and become much better plays. If Moore were to be ruled out, Jamison Crowder and Keelan Cole would play much larger roles in the offense and could be considered based strictly on expected volume. If Ryan Griffin and/or Wesco were to be unable to suit up on Sunday, Kenny Yeboah and Daniel Brown would likely split time at tight end. It will be important to monitor the Jets practice reports over the upcoming days to see which players will be available this weekend.

Elijah Moore, who missed last game while in the concussion protocol, is set to return to practice Wednesday. Moore is on track to play this Sunday against the Atlanta Falcons and should slide back into his role as WR3 alongside Corey Davis and Jamison Crowder. The return of Crowder last week has sapped some of Moore's value as he is no longer the clear number two receiver for the Jets.

Coach Saleh gave an outlook on the wide receivers as the Jets prepare to play the Tennessee Titans. Moore and Smith were both ruled out with concussions; Moore suffered his last game, while Smith was in a car accident during the week that left him without major injury, but was placed in the concussion protocol to be safe. Crowder is expected to return after missing the first week due to COVID protocols, and the last two games due to a groin injury. Mims will also be active for the first time since week 1, as he will be the Jets fifth healthy receiver, behind Corey Davis, Crowder, Braxton Berrios, and Keelan Cole. Crowder may end up playing a key role, as the preferred slot option for Zach Wilson against a leaky Titans defense. Mims will likely rotate in for a few snaps, but Davis will still be the top option for the team.
