Jets fans have clamored for months to get Ruckert on the field more in the struggling New York offense. An increase in Ruckert’s snaps would likely come at the expense of C.J. Uzomah, who seems to make weekly back-breaking mistakes as a pass catcher and a blocker. Ruckert, who has caught five of six targets for 43 yards this season, will probably be the team’s No. 2 tight end behind Tyler Conklin.

"He appeared to receive the most targets of anyone other than Garrett Wilson in team drills and it looks look the time the Jets gave him to develop in 2022 suited him well. He should play a bigger role this season," writes Rosenblatt. Ruckert is behind Tyler Conklin and C.J. Uzomah on the depth chart and probably won't get a big enough share of the pie to be a fantasy target this year, but he's worth monitoring in deeper dynasty leagues. 

A third-round rookie, Ruckert missed the offseason program and the first week of camp because of a foot injury. Now healthy, he will compete for a role behind C.J. Uzomah and Tyler Conklin. 

Players can come off the list at any time. Ruckert did work with the trainers in minicamp and it seems unlikely he'll have a major fantasy role in 2022 behind CJ Uzomah and Tyler Conklin. It can't be entirely ruled out, though, particularly if his stay on the list is a short one. The third-round rookie was one of the top tight end prospects in the 2022 draft.
