Allen Lazard Off To A Promising Start In Camp
4 months ago

New York Jets wide receiver Allen Lazard, who received a four-year, $44 million contract before the 2023 season, is off to a promising start in training camp this summer after posting just 23 catches last year. However, Lazard is viewed as a placeholder across from WR1 Garrett Wilson until Mike Williams (knee) is activated from the Physically Unable to Perform list. Working in Lazard's favor is that he has quarterback Aaron Rodgers' stamp of approval after they worked together in Green Bay. But Lazard isn't on the same level of Williams when both are healthy. The question is whether Williams can be the same player he was before his ACL surgery last fall. If he's not, Lazard could operate as New York's No. 2 option to help Rodgers balance the field. After a terrible 2023 showing, Lazard will be off the fantasy radar in most leagues unless Williams isn't ready for the start of the season.
