New York Jets Top Five – 2019 Fantasy Players

Joe Belic ranks the top five New York Jets fantasy players heading into 2019…

The Jets hold a plethora of versatile players in their arsenal who can play multiple positions. The ability to interchange players from one position to the next will be a huge advantage come game day. From a fan’s standpoint, this is great news, but from a fantasy football perspective, this leaves a lot of uncertainty. In this week’s “Joe Jet 5,” I rank the Jets’ most relevant fantasy players for the upcoming season. (Note: all rankings based on PPR scoring format)

Joe Belic ranks the top five offensive linemen on the New York Jets

There are entire industries, products and social programs devoted to safety: security systems, insurance policies, police forces, firemen, airbags, seatbelts and more. We wear the necessary attire in the winter to keep us warm and protected. We religiously wash our hands—especially these days—hoping to scrub away the invisible enemy.

TOJ Top Five – Offensive Lines In The NFL

Joe Belic on who the top five offensive lines will be during the 2019 NFL season

New York Jets – New GM Must Prioritize The Trenches

Joe Belic on the need for the New York Jets next GM to prioritize the offensive line and how Mike Maccagnan fell short in that area…

In order to protect Sam Darnold and open up running lanes for Le’Veon Bell, the Jets should focus on constructing a wall that even the Night King would envy. That’s why it is essential the Jets hire a new GM that comes from a culture that emphasizes building the offensive line.
