BALLER MOVE: Add in 14+ Team Leagues
ROSTERED: 18% of Leagues
ANALYSIS: Maybe, just maybe, you have heard about this guy Le'Veon Bell being cut by the New York Jets. Well, with Bell out of town everything the Jets backfield has to show for is a 58-year-old Frank Gore and 22-year old La'Mical Perine, a 2020 fourth-round pick (yes, NYJ also cut Kalen Ballage).
So far this season, and although Bell has missed ample time, Frank Gore leads all Jets rushers with 137 snaps to Bell's 78, Ballage's 57, and Perine's 40. Expect that to change in a hurry. In fact, don't expect it, because it is already happening. Just this past Sunday, even on a putrid performance in which the Jets were trailing all game long, Perine logged 41 snaps compared to Gore's 25. Perine couldn't do much with his 7 carries (27 yards) and 3 targets (2 receptions for 9 yards), and Gore outperformed him (46 yards on 11 carries, 24 on 4 receptions), but that should improve as Perine gets more reps.
Adam Gase (ugh) has promised Perine more snaps, carries, and targets going forward. Makes sense, considering the rookie should be the future of the Jets at the position and share the field with QB Trevor Lawrence (wink, wink) next season. Hard to consider him a must-add in any league given how bad New York is and the game scripts they deal with weekly, but if you are part of a super-deep league you should take the flier if only because of the "promised" higher usage starting Week 6.
