News: 4 days agoLazard caught three of five targets for 39 yards in Sunday's 15-10 loss to the Patriots.

Spin: Lazard finished nine receiving yards shy of Garrett Wilson's team-best total while tying Tyler Conklin for second behind Wilson in both targets and catches. Despite being locked in as the Jets' No. 2 wide receiver, Lazard has failed to reach 50 yards in a game heading into a Week 4 home game against the Chiefs.

ESPN Fantasy Projection: Lazard signed with the Jets after spending his first five seasons with the Packers. The veteran receiver is, of course, reuniting with Aaron Rodgers -- the QB responsible for 273 of his 281 career targets. Lazard is coming off a career year in which he set career highs in targets, receptions and yards en route to a 34th-place fantasy campaign (his first in the top 45). Lazard ranks fifth in the NFL with 25 end zone targets over the last two seasons and has 14 TDs in his last 26 games. The 27-year-old is no longer his team's No. 1 wide receiver (Garrett Wilson owns that job in New York), but there's a path to a respectable target share in what should be a good offense. Lazard is worth a bench spot.
