Braelon Allen - Stymied by Vikings Allen rushed the ball five times for 13 yards in Sunday's 23-17 loss to the Vikings. He added one reception on two targets for 15 yards.
Impact Allen was limited by both volume and inefficiency in the Week 5 loss, as he averaged only 2.6 yards per carry and had a long of just seven. The Jets also attempted only 14 rushes as opposed to 54 passes as they faced a negative game script for the entire contest. That led to a poor result, and Allen was also out-touched 12-6 by Breece Hall heading into a Week 6 bye.

Allen Lazard - Finds end zone in loss Lazard recorded four receptions on 10 targets for 34 yards and a touchdown in Sunday's 23-17 loss to the Vikings.
Impact Lazard finished second on the team with 10 targets and now has at least eight targets in three of five games on the season. He's topped 60 yards only once, though he remains a trusted option for Aaron Rodgers near the end zone as he managed his fourth touchdown catch of the campaign on a 14-yard snag just before halftime. Garrett Wilson will be the top target for Rodgers nearly every week, but Lazard has held off Mike Williams as a priority for opportunity to this point.

Tyler Conklin - Season-best six catches Conklin recorded six receptions on nine targets for 55 yards in Sunday's 23-17 loss to the Vikings.
Impact Conklin emerged as a favorite target of Aaron Rodgers in a pass-heavy game script, finishing third on the team with nine targets. He had a few big plays in the first half, highlighted by gains of 25 and 13 yards. The Jets' passing offense is heavily concentrated, and Conklin should remain a priority behind Garrett Wilson and Allen Lazard.

Breece Hall - Scripted out of loss Hall rushed the ball nine times for 23 yards in Sunday's 23-17 loss to the Vikings. He added three catches on four targets for 14 yards.
Impact The Jets fell behind early in the contest, limiting Hall to single-digit carries for the second consecutive week. He had poor overall efficiency, though he did show some burst with 10 and seven-yard gains on separate carries. While it was a frustrating performance for a second-straight game, Hall still clearly held the lead-back role for New York, as he had 12 total touches compared to six for Braelon Allen.

Garrett Wilson - Racks up 13 catches in loss Wilson recorded 13 receptions on 22 targets for 101 yards and a touchdown in Sunday's 23-17 loss to the Vikings.
Impact Wilson benefitted from the Jets falling behind 17-0 before halftime and impressively recorded 22 of the team's 51 targets. That was the primary source of positivity in the performance, as he still struggled to pair up efficiently with Aaron Rodgers by averaging only 4.6 yards per target. Despite that concerning sign, Wilson's productivity in this game was positive, headlined by his second touchdown and first 100-yard effort of the campaign.

Aaron Rodgers - Dealing with ankle issue Rodgers relayed after Sunday's 23-17 loss to the Vikings that he's dealing with a low-ankle sprain, Tom Pelissero of NFL Network reports.
Impact Rodgers' status will thus be worth monitoring ahead of the Jets' Oct. 14 game against the Bills. Added context on that front will arrive no later than Thursday, when the team resumes practice.

Aaron Rodgers - Three picks in loss Rodgers completed 29 of 54 passes for 254 yards, two touchdowns and three interceptions in Sunday's 23-17 loss to the Vikings.
Impact The Jets fell behind 17-0 late in the second quarter, leading Rodgers to attempt a season-high 54 pass attempts. He put up decent stats based on that volume, but he was inefficient by posting 4.7 yards per attempt while still looking off-sync with many of his targets. Rodgers also threw three interceptions in a game for only the sixth time in his career, four of which have come in 2017 or earlier -- including a game-sealing pick on a potential game-winning drive late in the fourth quarter. Positively, Rodgers has multiple touchdowns in three of his last four games and has reached 225 passing yards in each of his last three contests.

Michael Carter II - Hurt before kickoff Carter (hamstring) was injured during pregame warmups before Sunday's 23-17 loss to the Vikings.
Impact Carter never actually entered the game against Minnesota in London and was initially announced as doubtful to return soon after kickoff. In his place, Isaiah Oliver handled slot duties, recording six tackles, including a 1.0 sacks. The Jets next play Buffalo in Week 6 on MNF, which will give Carter an extra day to recover.
