Jets Activate Keelan Cole from Reserve/Covid-19 List Veteran WR Has 299 Yards in 7 Games This Season
DECEMBER 9, 2021 • NEWYORKJETS.COM
Back at practice Cole (illness) is scheduled to practice Wednesday with the Jets activating him from the reserve/COVID-19 list, Rich Cimini of ESPN.com reports.
Impact Cole's return to the mix arrives at an opportune time, as he's expected to slide into a starting role on the perimeter opposite Elijah Moore (quadriceps) after No. 1 wideout Corey Davis (groin) was placed on injured reserve Tuesday with a season-ending injury that requires surgery, according to Rich Cimini of ESPN.com. Davis' absence was already expected to translate to more playing time and targets for Cole, but his role in the passing attack could grow larger Sunday against the Saints if Moore is unavailable due to an injury that prompted head coach Robert Saleh to classify him as day-to-day. Through 10 games to date, Cole has caught 19 of his 33 targets for 299 yards.

Impact The Jets will lose Cole for Sunday's game against the Eagles, but Denzel Mims is expected to return from the reserve/COVID-19 list and suit up at practice Wednesday. Cole's next chance to return will come Week 14 versus the Saints, as long as he's able to clear all of the NFL's protocols for COVID.

Placed on COVID list The Jets have placed Cole on their reserve/COVID-19 list, Brian Costello of the New York Post reports.
Impact Cole is coming off an outing in which he recorded two receptions for 24 yards in the Jets 21-14 victory over Houston. He saw extra time on the field due to Corey Davis (groin) being sidelined. The 28-year-old will now need to pass the league's COVID protocols before getting clearance to return.

Two catches with Davis out Cole caught both of his targets for 24 yards in Sunday's 21-14 win over Houston.
Impact Cole saw modest involvement, even with Corey Davis (groin) unavailable. His depth role in an up-and-down Jets offense limits Cole's fantasy appeal.
NOVEMBER 29, 2021 • ROTOWIRE
No catches in Week 11 Cole failed to catch his only target in Sunday's 24-17 loss to Miami.
Impact With Elijah Moore grabbing the starting spot opposite Corey Davis by the horns with his recent production and Jamison Crowder locked in as the slot receiver, Cole has seen sparse usage of late. His role is unlikely to change as long as New York's top three wide receivers are healthy.
NOVEMBER 22, 2021 • ROTOWIRE
Just one catch in Davis' return Cole caught one of five targets for 18 yards in Sunday's 45-17 loss to the Bills.
Impact The entire Jets offense struggled as Mike White plummeted back down to earth with no touchdowns and four interceptions. With Corey Davis (hip) back in the fold, Cole was relegated to a reserve role, so he likely wouldn't have found significantly more success even if White had played better.

Solid yardage total in loss Cole brought in five of eight targets for 66 yards in the Jets' 45-30 loss to the Colts on Thursday night.
Impact The veteran wideout checked in second on the night in receptions and receiving yards to Elijah Moore while sharing the team lead in targets with the rookie. Cole was also the intended receiver on Josh Johnson's last pass of the night, which was tipped at the line and led to a game-sealing interception for the Colts. Cole's reception and target tallies were season highs, but he has a tough matchup versus the Bills stingy secondary awaiting him in Week 10.

Has spectacular TD called back Cole caught three of five targets for 25 yards in Sunday's 34-31 win over the Bengals.
Impact Cole thought he had made a spectacular catch to score a 12-yard touchdown in the final minute of the first half that conjured memories of Odell Beckham's 2015 touchdown against the Cowboys, only to watch the play get wiped out after a review concluded he failed to secure possession inbounds. Outside of that moment, Cole didn't make much of his increased role with Corey Davis (hip) sidelined, but he the veteran wideout could get another such opportunity if Davis doesn't heal up in time to return Thursday against the Colts.

One catch in Week 7 loss Cole caught one of two targets for six yards in Sunday's 54-13 loss to the Patriots.
Impact Outside of a 92-yard performance in the Jets' Week 4 win over the Titans, Cole has just 74 receiving yards this season. Cole's depth role on one of the league's least effective offenses rarely translates to fantasy success.

Two catches in London Cole caught two of three targets for 38 yards in Sunday's 27-20 loss to the Falcons.
Impact Cole actually came just seven receiving yards short of Corey Davis' team-leading total, as the Jets struggled to move the ball through the air. He was on the field for 31 of New York's 56 offensive snaps, trailing Davis and slot receiver Jamison Crowder but notably finishing ahead of rookie Elijah Moore (23). New York's Week 6 bye will present further opportunities to integrate Moore into the offense, and it wouldn't be surprising to see Moore's playing time climb at Cole's expense once the team returns to action.
