ALLEN LAZARD NEWS

Scores TD in likely Jets finale Lazard caught all three of his targets for 71 yards and a touchdown in Sunday's 32-20 win over the Dolphins. He finishes the season with 37 catches for 530 yards and six touchdowns...

Impact Lazard caught Aaron Rodgers' 501st regular-season touchdown pass on a 13-yard strike 59 seconds before halftime. The 29-year-old wide receiver scored five times through Week 6, but the Week 18 score was his only touchdown thereafter, as Lazard missed five games due to a chest injury and took a back seat after Davante Adams' arrival. The Jets almost certainly will utilize their out at the halfway point of Lazard's four-year, $44 million contract this offseason, as he hasn't come close to justifying that deal.

One catch in latest loss Lazard caught one of three targets for nine yards in Sunday's 40-14 loss to the Bills.

Impact Lazard didn't do a good job of working back to the ball on Aaron Rodgers' second interception, so the two former Packers both shoulder some of the blame for that turnover. The drop-prone wide receiver has caught only 57 of 106 targets in his 25 games with the Jets. Five of his six touchdowns with New York have come this season, but Lazard hasn't scored since Week 6 heading into a Week 18 tilt against the Dolphins that will likely be his last game with the Jets -- there's an out at the halfway point of the four-year, $44 million overpay of a contract he signed prior to the 2023 season.

Aaron Rodgers-led Jets unravel in undisciplined and turnover-filled 40-14 loss to the Bills

Two catches in Week 16 Lazard caught two of five targets for 20 yards in Sunday's 19-9 loss to the Rams.

Impact Lazard's ongoing issues with drops resurfaced in this game, as he added a couple more to his ledger. His unreliable hands coupled with a modest target share as the No. 3 wideout behind Davante Adams and Garrett Wilson limit Lazard's fantasy appeal ahead of a Week 17 trip to Buffalo.

No catches on four targets Lazard didn't catch any of his four targets in Sunday's 32-25 win over the Jaguars.

Impact Lazard has displayed butter fingers throughout his tenure with the Jets, and he had an especially costly drop Sunday on a dime from Aaron Rodgers that should have been a 30-yard touchdown. Anders Carlson missed a field-goal attempt on the very next play, though Lazard's struggles ultimately didn't prevent the Jets from notching their fourth win of the season. For the second consecutive game since Lazard returned from IR, Davante Adams and Garrett Wilson combined for well over 200 yards (254), leaving limited opportunities for the team's No. 3 wideout.

DECEMBER 16, 2024 • ROTOWIRE

One catch in return from IR Lazard (chest) caught his only target for 18 yards in Sunday's 32-26 overtime loss to the Dolphins.

Impact Seeing his first action since Week 7, Lazard played 78 percent of snaps on offense, so his lack of production wasn't due to a lack of playing time. He's a distant third on the Jets' wide receiver depth chart behind Garrett Wilson and Davante Adams, who combined for 223 yards and a touchdown on 21 targets against the Dolphins. Lazard will be a touchdown-dependent Week 15 fantasy option against a Jaguars defense that's giving up 26.5 points per game.

Officially available Sunday Lazard (chest) was activated off injured reserve Saturday.

Impact Lazard is officially cleared to return after missing the past five games due to a chest injury. The 28-year-old might struggle to see opportunities as the No. 3 target behind Garrett Wilson and Davante Adams especially given the Jets' struggles passing the ball in recent weeks.

Returning from IR Lazard (chest) will be activated from injured reserve ahead of Sunday's game against the Dolphins, Brian Costello of the New York Post reports.

Impact Lazard has been practicing without limitations and is presumably healthy enough to suit up for Sunday's game against the Dolphins, though the Jets will still need to perform an official transaction to put him back on the 53-man roster. Prior to getting hurt, Lazard had 412 receiving yards and five touchdowns through seven games. All but one of those games came prior to the Jets trading for Davante Adams, and Lazard likely won't see as many targets while slotting in as the No. 3 wide receiver behind Adams and Garrett Wilson.

Practices fully Wednesday Lazard (chest) was a full participant in Wednesday's practice, Rich Cimini of ESPN.com reports.

Impact Lazard was officially designated for return from injured reserve Wednesday, and he looks to have a decent shot of suiting up for the Jets' Week 14 date against the Dolphins on Sunday. Xavier Gipson and rookie Malachi Corley have been handling third and fourth receiver duties behind target-commanders Garrett Wilson and Davante Adams. Lazard will be fighting for scraps behind those two once he does return to the field.

Returning to practice The Jets are in line to open the practice window of Lazard (chest), Eric Allen of the team's official site reports.

Impact The Jets will have 21 days to decide whether to activate Lazard (who has been on IR since Oct. 31) to their 53-man roster. For his part, interim head coach Jeff Ulbrich noted Wednesday that he's hopeful the wideout will be ready by the end of the week. If Lazard is available for Sunday's game against the Dolphins, he'd add depth to a WR corps that's led by Garrett Wilson and Davante Adams, a context that could limit the veteran pass-catcher's initial volume in New York's offense.
