Riley Patterson - Doesn't miss in Jets debut Patterson didn't attempt a field goal but made all three of his PAT tries in Thursday's 21-13 win over the Texans.
Impact Making his Jets debut after Greg Zuerlein (knee) was placed on injured reserve, Patterson wasn't called upon to do much, but it was refreshing nonetheless for Jets fans to see every kick connect after Zuerlein had at least one miss in five of the previous six games. Patterson's first PAT went in off the upright. The former Lions, Jaguars and Browns kicker will hope to get more opportunities in Week 10 against the Cardinals.

Jeremy Ruckert - 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.

Kenny Yeboah - One catch in season debut Yeboah (abdomen) caught his only target for 12 yards in Thursday's 21-13 win over the Texans.
Impact Yeboah was activated from IR prior to the win. He played only four snaps on offense in his season debut, but the third-string tight end still made an important contribution, as his 12-yard catch on third down extended a fourth-quarter drive that culminated in Davante Adams' first touchdown reception as a Jet. Yeboah is unlikely to challenge Tyler Conklin for the starting job, but Jeremy Ruckert's No. 2 spot on the depth chart is attainable.

Tyler Conklin - One catch in Thursday's win Conklin caught one of two targets for minus-3 yards in Thursday's 21-13 win over the Texans.
Impact Conklin played 45 of the Jets' 58 snaps on offense, while Jeremy Ruckert and Kenny Yeboah combined to play 25, but each of the three tight ends finished with one catch. Aaron Rodgers directed 25 of his 32 passes to either Garrett Wilson, Davante Adams or Breece Hall, and those three will likely continue to account for the vast majority of the Jets' offense moving forward. After having a modest two-game touchdown streak snapped Thursday, Conklin will look to start building a new one in Week 10 against the Cardinals.

Malachi Corley - Tosses ball away to negate TD Corley rushed once for 18 yards and lost a fumble in Thursday's 21-13 win over the Texans.
Impact Corley's first NFL carry was memorable for a different reason than he would have liked, as he got into the open field and raced into the end zone but flipped the ball out of his hand as he was crossing the goal line, and a review revealed that the ball left his hand prior to crossing the goal line. It then rolled out of the back of the end zone for a touchback. The 2024 third-round draft pick has just one target in his NFL career, and while Corley showed some promising ability in the open field on his lone touch Thursday, careless mental errors won't ingratiate him with the Jets' coaching staff.

Braelon Allen - Back to reduced role Thursday Allen rushed four times for nine yards and failed to bring in his only target in the Jets' 21-13 win over the Texans on Thursday night.
Impact Allen had flashed with 12 carries and a rushing touchdown in Week 8 against the Patriots, but four days later, the rookie was back under 10 rushing yards and without a catch for the third time in the last four games. Allen's usage is clearly unreliable from week to week despite the success he's enjoyed at times, leaving him as an unreliable option for a Week 10 road matchup against the Cardinals on Sunday, Nov. 10.

Mike Williams - Limited to one catch Thursday Williams secured one of two targets for six yards in the Jets' 21-13 win over the Texans on Thursday night.
Impact Williams once again struggled for relevancy in the Jets' air attack, even on a night where Davante Adams missed significant time during the second half for a concussion check. Williams has been the subject of trade rumors as Tuesday's deadline approaches, and the fact he's had no more than one catch in any of his last four games seems to cement the notion that his best fit may be somewhere outside the Jets organization.

Breece Hall - Another efficient rushing effort Hall rushed 15 times for 74 yards and brought in two of four targets for 11 yards in the Jets' 21-13 win over the Texans on Thursday night. He also fumbled once but recovered.
Impact Hall saw his rushing opportunities stall somewhat with the Jets trying to overcome a deficit early in the second half, but he still finished with yet another impressive rushing performance. Hall has now averaged at least Thursday's 4.9 yards per carry in three of the past four games, a marked departure from his struggles with efficiency earlier in the season. Hall next takes aim at the Cardinals' vulnerable road defense in a Week 10 road matchup on Sunday, Nov. 10.

Davante Adams - Best game yet with new team Adams brought in seven of 11 targets for 91 yards and a touchdown in the Jets' 21-13 win over the Texans on Thursday night.
Impact Adams was able to post team-best receiving yardage and target totals despite missing significant second-half time due to a concussion check. The star veteran wideout made a major splash upon his return to the game as well, recording a 37-yard touchdown grab with just under three minutes remaining to extend the Jets' lead to 21-10 and essentially seal the much-needed victory. Adams' totals were also his best yet since arriving in New York, affording him plenty of momentum heading into a Week 10 road matchup against the Cardinals on Sunday, Nov. 10.

Garrett Wilson - Pair of TD grabs in win Wilson secured nine of 10 targets for 90 yards and two touchdowns in the Jets' 21-13 win over the Texans on Thursday night.
Impact Wilson paced the Jets in receptions and was just a yard and target short of tying Davante Adams for the team lead in those categories as well. The third-year pro also made what is arguably the catch of the season thus far, snaring an Aaron Rodgers floater one-handed in the back of the end zone and somehow getting both feet inbounds for a 26-yard touchdown early in the fourth quarter that had to be affirmed via replay. Wilson benefitted from Adams' exit for a time during the second half due to a concussion check, but he's now logged at least eight targets in seven consecutive games and at least Thursday's 90 receiving yards in four of the last five contests as well.

Aaron Rodgers - Leads much-needed comeback win Rodgers completed 22 of 32 passes for 211 yards with three touchdowns and no interceptions and rushed once for minus-1 yard in the Jets' 21-13 win over the Texans on Thursday night...
Impact The first half was once again a source of major concern for Rodgers and the Jets' offense, which were shut out altogether. However, the future Hall of Famer came alive in the second half despite losing Davante Adams for a time due to a concussion check, connecting with Garrett Wilson (21, 26 yards) and Adams (37 yards) for his trio of scores. The touchdown tally was a season high for Rodgers, who also avoided interceptions for the second straight game and recorded completions to seven different targets overall. With New York's losing streak now snapped, Rodgers will look to string together consecutive wins for the second time as a member of the Jets at the expense of the Cardinals in a Week 10 road matchup in Sunday, Nov. 10.
