News

  • One catch in Conklin's absence

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

    Analysis: 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 due to Tyler Conklin (personal) being ruled out for the contest, Rich Cimini of ESPN.com reports.

    Analysis: 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…read more

  • Blanked in Week 14

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

    Analysis: 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.

  • Another one-catch outing

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

    Analysis: 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.

  • One catch against Colts

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

    Analysis: 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.

  • Season-high 17 yards in loss

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

    Analysis: 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.

    Analysis: 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.

  • 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.

    Analysis: 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.

  • Two catches in Week 6

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

    Analysis: 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.

  • Two receptions in Week 4

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

    Analysis: 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.

  • Two catches in Thursday's win

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

    Analysis: 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.

  • Blanked on three Week 2 targets

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

    Analysis: 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.

  • Works as Conklin's backup

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

    Analysis: 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.

  • Participating in OTAs

    Ruckert (concussion) took part in OTAs on Tuesday, Zack Rosenblatt of The Athletic reports.

    Analysis: Ruckert appeared in the first 15 games for the Jets last season, but he missed the final two contests due to a concussion he sustained in Week 16 against the Commanders. Ruckert served as the backup tight end behind Tyler Conklin, finishing with 16 catches on 22 targets for 151 yards while playing 301 snaps on offense and 205 snaps on special teams. Ruckert caught passes from quarterback Aaron Rodgers during seven-on-seven drills Tuesday.

  • Lands on IR

    Ruckert (concussion) was placed on the Jets' injured reserve Saturday.

    Analysis: This means Ruckert's season is over, and he will now have to set his sights on preparing for the 2024 campaign. He will end the year with 151 yards on 16 receptions across 15 games. In his absence, Kenny Yeboah and Zack Kuntz will be available to provide depth at tight end behind Tyler Conklin.

  • Remains out

    Ruckert (concussion) has been ruled out for Sunday's game against the Patriots, Eric Allen of the Jets' official site reports.

    Analysis: Ruckert suffered the concussion Week 16 against the Commanders, which ultimately put an end to his second NFL campaign. The Ohio State product saw a significant bump in work this season, going from 42 offensive snaps during his rookie year to 301 in 2023. Ruckert will finish the season with 16 catches on 22 targets and 151 yards receiving. Kenny Yeboah should continue seeing an increased workload Week 18 against New England.

  • Won't play Week 17

    Head coach Robert Saleh said Ruckert (concussion) won't be available for Thursday's game versus Cleveland, Ethan B. Greenberg of the Jets' official site reports.

    Analysis: Ruckert departed with a concussion in the third quarter of Sunday's win over Washington and wasn't able to return. With the Jets facing a quick turnaround for Week 17, Ruckert won't have sufficient time to clear the five-step protocol before Thursday's contest. Kenny Yeboah will likely work as Tyler Conklin's primary backup until Ruckert is ready to return.

  • Won't return versus Washington

    Ruckert (concussion) has been ruled out for the rest of Sunday's game against the Commanders.

    Analysis: Ruckert sustained a concussion in the third quarter and will not return to Sunday's contest. He finishes the game without recording a stat. Kenny Yeboah will step into the backup tight end role behind Tyler Conklin.

  • Catches both Week 15 targets

    Ruckert caught both of his targets for 16 yards in Sunday's 30-0 loss to the Dolphins.

    Analysis: Ruckert had only two targets while fellow tight end Tyler Conklin saw seven, but Ruckert finished only two yards shy of Conklin's total. Trevor Siemian failed to lead New York's offense to any points after Zach Wilson (concussion) got hurt in the first half, so Jets pass catchers will be tough to trust in Week 16, even against the leaky Commanders pass defense.

  • Career-high 37 yards in win

    Ruckert caught all three of his targets for 37 yards in Sunday's 30-6 win over the Texans.

    Analysis: Ruckert was once again outplayed by fellow tight end Tyler Conklin, who had four catches for 57 yards on six targets. His contributions Sunday included an impressive catch along the sideline on which Ruckert kept his concentration to secure a bobbling ball while rolling over a Houston defender. Heading into a Week 15 clash with the Dolphins, Ruckert has 14 catches for 135 yards on 20 targets.

  • Three targets in loss

    Ruckert caught one of three targets for 12 yards in Sunday's 13-8 loss to the Falcons.

    Analysis: Ruckert had three targets compared to nine for fellow tight end Tyler Conklin. Heading into a Week 14 home game against Houston, Ruckert has 11 catches for 98 yards on 17 targets.

  • Two catches in Week 12 loss

    Ruckert caught two of four targets for 18 yards in Friday's 34-13 loss to the Dolphins.

    Analysis: Ruckert finished one target and 15 yards shy of Tyler Conklin's totals, while fellow tight end C.J. Uzomah went without a target. With four targets in each of the last two games, Ruckert has established himself as the team's No. 2 tight end behind Conklin, and Ruckert, a 2022 third-round draft pick, could see his role grow further down the stretch given the Jets' stated desire to get young skill position players more involved.

  • Career-high three catches

    Ruckert caught three of four targets for 25 yards in Sunday's 32-6 loss to the Bills.

    Analysis: A second-round pick in 2022, Ruckert has slowly been earning a more consistent snap count in the Jets' offense. Sunday's reception and target totals were both career highs, and he outproduced veteran tight ends Tyler Conklin and C.J. Uzomah. The team's offense is in turmoil heading into a Week 12 clash with the Dolphins, as Zach Wilson was benched in the second half Sunday for Tim Boyle, and if New York goes into rebuild mode and begins looking ahead to 2024, Ruckert could ascend to the top of…read more

  • One target once again

    Ruckert caught his only target for seven yards in Monday's 27-6 loss to the Chargers.

    Analysis: Ruckert was targeted exactly once for the fourth consecutive game. Tyler Conklin and C.J. Uzomah each saw at least five targets Monday, so Ruckert remains third on New York's tight end depth chart when it comes to involvement in the passing game.

  • One target in Week 8

    Ruckert didn't catch his only target in Sunday's 13-10 overtime win over the Giants.

    Analysis: Ruckert has at least one target in each of the last four games but just five targets on the season. The second-year tight end continues to play a minor role in the Jets' low-octane passing attack.

  • Another one-catch game

    Ruckert caught his only target for eight yards in Sunday's 20-14 win over the Eagles.

    Analysis: Ruckert and C.J. Uzomah have combined for only nine targets through six games, while Tyler Conklin has been targeted 27 times to easily lead the Jets' tight ends. On the bright side, Ruckert has been efficient, catching all four of his targets.

  • One catch in Week 5

    Ruckert recorded a two-yard catch on his lone target in Sunday's 31-21 win over the Broncos.

    Analysis: Ruckert has caught all three of his targets over the past two games after failing to draw a target in the first three games of his second NFL season. The 2022 third-round draft pick remains third on New York's tight end depth chart behind Tyler Conklin and C.J. Uzomah.

  • First multi-catch game

    Ruckert caught both of his targets for 26 yards in Sunday's 23-20 loss to the Chiefs.

    Analysis: Ruckert came into this game with only one career reception, so it was nice to see the 2022 third-round draft pick out of Ohio State get more involved. Tyler Conklin finished second on the team with six targets while C.J. Uzomah caught a touchdown pass, so Ruckert remains third on the tight end depth chart behind the pair of veterans.

  • Finishes preseason healthy

    Ruckert (shoulder) caught both of his targets for 20 yards in Saturday's preseason win over the Giants.

    Analysis: Ruckert returned to action after hurting his shoulder earlier this preseason, entering the game after veterans Tyler Conklin and C.J. Uzomah. Ruckert, a 2022 third-round selection, will sit behind the veterans to begin the regular season, eliminating any potential for fantasy value against the Bills in Week 1.

  • Injures shoulder Saturday

    Ruckert suffered a shoulder injury during Saturday's 27-0 win over the Panthers, Brian Costello of the New York Post reports.

    Analysis: Ruckert left the win a little worse for wear, and more information on his status will likely be provided this week. The tight end reeled in two catches for 19 yards before going down with the injury.

  • Spends most of rookie year on bench

    Ruckert caught his only target for eight yards in Sunday's 11-6 loss to the Dolphins.

    Analysis: Ruckert's impact as a rookie was limited primarily to special teams, as his lone catch came in the season finale. The 2022 third-round draft pick out of Ohio State played more than six offensive snaps only twice while being blocked by Tyler Conklin and C.J. Uzomah on the tight end depth chart. Ruckert flashed some intriguing skills in college, but he may need an injury or two in front of him to showcase those skills, as both Conklin and Uzomah are expected to remain with the Jets in 2023.

  • One target in debut

    Ruckert didn't catch his only target in Sunday's 31-30 win over the Browns.

    Analysis: Ruckert made his NFL debut after sitting out the season opener, but the rookie third-round pick out of Ohio State wasn't heavily involved in the game plan. While Ruckert's a name to file away for the future, his short-term fantasy prospects are limited, even while C.J. Uzomah's recovering from a hamstring injury.

  • Healthy scratch to start career

    Ruckert (coach's decision) is inactive for Sunday's season opener against the Ravens, Billy Riccette of USA Today reports.

    Analysis: Ruckert missed all of the Jets' OTAs and half of training camp due to a foot injury. While he's now healthy, the rookie third-round pick missed a substantial amount of practice time and will continue to be brought along slowly. New York made a splash in free agency this offseason by adding C.J. Uzomah and Tyler Conklin, so they'll be in no rush to thrust Ruckert into action if he isn't 100 percent comfortable with the playbook.

  • Scores TD in NFL debut

    Ruckert caught both of his targets for three yards and a touchdown in Friday's 24-21 preseason win over Philadelphia.

    Analysis: A nice play design on fourth-and-goal from the 1-yard line allowed Ruckert to slip open underneath, and fourth-string quarterback Chris Streveler found the rookie tight end for a touchdown. Ruckert likely will be brought along slowly behind C.J. Uzomah and Tyler Conklin, but it's nice to see the third-round pick out of Ohio State healthy and contributing after he missed most of the offseason program due to a foot injury.

  • Aiming to make up for lost time

    Jets head coach Robert Saleh said Tuesday that Ruckert is playing catchup after missing all of New York's OTAs and half of training camp due to a foot injury, Ethan Sears of the New York Post reports. "He's swimming a little bit," Saleh said. "Obviously there's a lot of information coming in. He missed all of OTAs, half of training camp, and he's getting into the thick of it in the middle of it."

    Analysis: The Jets have veterans C.J. Uzomah and Tyler Conklin at the top of the tight-end depth chart, so there's no need to rush the rookie third-round pick into the mix. However, Ruckert has immense upside and would give second-year quarterback Zach Wilson another legitimate receiving threat when he's finally up to speed with the playbook.

  • Removed from NFI list

    Ruckert (foot) was activated from the non-football injury list Wednesday, Ethan Greenberg of the Jets' official site reports.

    Analysis: Ruckert can now practice with the team after missing the start of training camp with a foot injury. The rookie is currently the No. 3 tight end on the Jets' depth chart, behind C.J. Uzomah and Tyler Conklin. Ruckert totaled 54 catches for 615 yards and 12 touchdowns in his time at Ohio State. The Jets' third-round pick in 2022 will now have a chance to prove himself in camp and compete for snaps moving forward.

  • Placed on NFI list

    The Jets placed Ruckert (foot) on the non-football injury list Tuesday, Aaron Wilson of ProFootballNetwork.com reports.

    Analysis: Ruckert continues to recover from the foot injury that held him out of June minicamp. C.J. Uzomah (foot) also missed June team activities, while Tyler Conklin has remained healthy since inking with the Jets earlier this offseason. As long as Ruckert is able to return to full health at some point during training camp, he should get a chance to compete for snaps as a rookie.

  • Misses minicamp

    Ruckert (foot) didn't participate in June minicamp, Connor Hughes of The Athletic reports.

    Analysis: Neither did fellow tight end C.J. Uzomah, who reportedly was nursing a minor injury. Ruckert came to the Jets with a foot injury when they drafted him in the third round at the end of April, but he should have time to recover before training camp. Earning Year 1 snaps will be more of a challenge, as the Jets signed both Uzomah and Tyler Conklin earlier this offseason.
