Jets kick off 1st NFL draft for Mougey and Glenn with plenty of needs to address on revamped roster

Impact Ruckert worked as the No. 2 tight end behind Tyler Conklin, who is set to be an unrestricted free agent. If the Jets don't re-sign Conklin, they will almost certainly look to bring in another starter rather than promote Ruckert, who has yet to score a touchdown in 41 NFL games since being selected in the third round of the 2022 NFL Draft.

Returns to backup spot Ruckert caught both of his targets for 12 yards in Sunday's 19-9 loss to the Rams.

Impact Ruckert returned to a backup role with Tyler Conklin (personal) back from a one-game absence, but Ruckert had only one catch while Conklin was sidelined in Week 15 against the Jaguars. The 2022 third-round draft pick has shown limited upside as a pass catcher, as Ruckert has yet to score a touchdown in his career.

DECEMBER 23, 2024 • ROTOWIRE

One catch in Conklin's absence Ruckert caught one of three targets for 12 yards in Sunday's 32-25 win over the Jaguars.

Impact Ruckert was the only Jets tight end to be targeted in the absence of Tyler Conklin (personal), but the Lindenhurst, NY native didn't take advantage of the added opportunities. Ruckert has yet to exceed 17 yards in a game this season, and he won't have much fantasy upside in Week 16 against the Rams, regardless of Conklin's availability.

Poised for starting duties Sunday Ruckert is expected to serve as the Jets' starting tight end in Sunday's game against the Jaguars with Tyler Conklin (personal) ruled out for the contest, Rich Cimini of ESPN.com r...

Impact With Conklin sitting out for the first time all season, Ruckert should have his best opportunity to date to see extended playing time. Until this Sunday, Conklin hasn't missed any games during his three-year tenure with the Jets, which has coincided with Ruckert's run in New York after he was selected in the third round of the 2022 NFL Draft. Ruckert hasn't played more than 50 percent of the Jets' offensive snaps or drawn more than three targets in any of his 13 appearances this season, but he could have a good chance at surpassing both marks Sunday.

DECEMBER 15, 2024 • ROTOWIRE

Blanked in Week 14 Ruckert didn't catch his only target in Sunday's 32-26 overtime loss to the Dolphins.

Impact Ruckert remains a non-factor in fantasy, having failed to surpass 17 yards in a game this season. He'll likely continue to work as the backup to Tyler Conklin in Week 15 against the Jaguars.

DECEMBER 9, 2024 • ROTOWIRE

Another one-catch outing Ruckert caught one of two targets for three yards in Sunday's 26-21 loss to the Seahawks.

Impact Ruckert saw a 25 percent snap share while starter Tyler Conklin had four catches and played 82 percent of snaps on offense. With 17 yards or fewer in every game this season, Ruckert remains firmly off the fantasy radar ahead of a Week 14 road game against the Dolphins.

DECEMBER 2, 2024 • ROTOWIRE

One catch against Colts Ruckert caught one of two targets for six yards in Sunday's 28-27 loss to the Colts.

Impact Ruckert was on the field for 15 of 51 snaps on offense while Tyler Conklin played 47. Kenny Yeboah upstaged both of them with an 11-yard touchdown catch in the fourth quarter on one of Yeboah's three offensive snaps.

NOVEMBER 18, 2024 • ROTOWIRE

Season-high 17 yards in loss Ruckert caught both of his targets for 17 yards in Sunday's 31-6 loss to Arizona.

Impact Ruckert was the Jets' most productive tight end in the loss, but he played only 20 snaps on offense compared to Tyler Conklin's 45. Ruckert has yet to score a touchdown in his 34-game NFL career, and his 17 yards against the Cardinals marked a season high.

Catches only target in win Ruckert caught his only target for four yards in Thursday's 21-13 win over the Texans.

Impact Ruckert, Tyler Conklin and Kenny Yeboah contributed one catch apiece. As usual, Ruckert operated as the No. 2 tight end behind Conklin, with that role resulting in a 36 percent snap share for the 2022 third-round draft pick out of Ohio State in Thursday's win.

NOVEMBER 1, 2024 • ROTOWIRE

Season-high three catches in loss Ruckert caught all three of his targets for 14 yards in Sunday's 25-22 loss to the Patriots.

Impact As usual, Ruckert was a distant No. 2 at tight end behind Tyler Conklin, who caught a short touchdown for the second consecutive game. Ruckert has yet to exceed 15 receiving yards in a game this season, and the 2022 third-round draft pick is still searching for his first career touchdown heading into Week 9 against the Texans.

OCTOBER 28, 2024 • ROTOWIRE

Season-high three catches in loss Ruckert caught all three of his targets for 14 yards in Sunday's 25-22 loss to the Patriots.

OCTOBER 28, 2024 • ROTOWIRE

Two catches in Week 6 Ruckert caught two of three targets for seven yards in Monday's 23-20 loss to the Bills.

Impact Ruckert finished with a nearly identical stat line to Tyler Conklin, who caught two of three targets for 10 yards while playing through a hip injury. Conklin had 17 targets to Ruckert's two over the previous two games, and Ruckert was on the field for only 48 percent of New York's snaps on offense Monday, so Ruckert remains a fantasy afterthought heading into Sunday's game against the Steelers.

OCTOBER 15, 2024 • ROTOWIRE

Two receptions in Week 4 Ruckert caught both of his targets for 10 yards in Sunday's 10-9 loss to the Broncos.

Impact Ruckert has put together back-to-back two-catch efforts, but he has just four targets to Tyler Conklin's 14 over that span. With Conklin firmly atop the depth chart and the Jets' offense as a whole struggling to find consistency, Ruckert remains off the fantasy radar until further notice.

SEPTEMBER 30, 2024 • ROTOWIRE

Two catches in Thursday's win Ruckert caught both of his targets for 15 yards in Thursday's 24-3 win over the Patriots.

Impact Ruckert made his first two catches of the season as Aaron Rodgers completed multiple passes to eight different players. While this was Ruckert's best game of the young season, that was also the case for Tyler Conklin, who cemented his standing as the Jets' top tight end with five catches for a team-high 93 yards on six targets.

SEPTEMBER 20, 2024 • ROTOWIRE

Blanked on three Week 2 targets Ruckert didn't catch any of his three targets in Sunday's 24-17 win over the Titans.

Impact Ruckert played only 21 of 57 snaps on offense compared to 53 of 57 for Tyler Conklin, but Ruckert finished with one more target. The third-year pro didn't take advantage of his opportunities, which included an end-zone target on which Ruckert seemed to cut his route a little short. Ruckert's still searching for his first catch of the season heading into Thursday's home opener against the Patriots.

SEPTEMBER 16, 2024 • ROTOWIRE

Blanked on three Week 2 targets Ruckert didn't catch any of his three targets in Sunday's 24-17 win over the Titans.

SEPTEMBER 16, 2024 • ROTOWIRE

Works as Conklin's backup Ruckert wasn't targeted in Monday's 32-19 loss to the 49ers.

Impact Tyler Conklin's two targets accounted for all of the pass-catching opportunities afforded to Jets tight ends in the season opener. Ruckert played 33 percent of snaps on offense to Conklin's 90 percent, so it would likely take an injury to Conklin to clear the way for Ruckert to see significant playing time.
