The Jets opted to release Sudfeld on Saturday, Connor Hughes of The Star Ledger reports.

EDGE Analysis

Sudfeld was hoping to provide some depth at tight end for the Jets. He was competing with Jace Amaro, Wes Saxton, and Brandon Bostick for a backup role. He compiled 74 yards and a touchdown on seven receptions in four preseason games.

Sudfield caught all three of his targets for 39 yards and a touchdown in Friday's win over the Redskins.

EDGE Analysis

Sudfield wasn't targeted often Friday, but he made the most of his opportunities and hauled in every pass that was thrown his way, making an end zone nuisance of himself in the process. Sudfield should have every opportunity to battle for a starting spot in an offense that is in need of playmakers, and he will likely see an expanded amount of reps next week versus the Giants.

Sudfeld (knee) returned to practice Monday, the New York Post reports.

EDGE Analysis

Sudfeld has missed some practice time lately due to a knee injury, but rejoined his teammates to start this week. At the moment, it's unclear whether Sudfeld will be prepared enough to play in Thursday's preseason opener, although it wouldn't be surprising if the Jets opted to rest him given his recent time out.

Sudfeld (knee) re-signed with the Jets on Thursday, NJ.com reports.

EDGE Analysis

The Jets cut Jeff Cumberland recently, which theoretically moves Sudfeld up the depth chart, but with Jace Amaro expected to have a big impact this season, Sudfeld's fantasy upside remains fairly limited.

The Jets waived/injured Sudfeld after he tore his ACL during Wednesday's minicamp practice, Newsday reports. Sudfeld -- who caught five passes for 85 yards last season -- will be missed on special teams, with the Jets having added Steve Maneri to bolster their depth at tight end in the wake of Sudfeld's knee injury.

Sudfeld (knee) is having tests done on his injury Thursday and head coach Todd Bowles believes it is "more than just a minor injury," Rich Cimini of ESPN reports. Sudfeld reportedly suffered from the injury after a hit from free safety Calvin Pryor, and it looks as if the injury could cost him some time. Sudfeld was rarely a part of the Jets' offense last season, as he was playing behind both Jeff Cumberland and Jace Amaro, and this injury sure doesn't help him as he looks to make a push for more playing time in 2015-16.

Sudfeld had two catches for 44 yards in Week 17's victory at Miami, the most notable moment of his season. Sudfeld only collected seven targets on the year, rarely playing on offense - but three of those opportunities came in the final two weeks. Maybe he'll be in line for a notable bump in time next season. though the Jets have a collection of tight ends.

Second-year TE Zach Sudfeld has been getting some first-team reps in Jets camp. Sudfeld was overly hyped last summer. But he's a plus athlete at 6'7/253. "He's studying like nobody's business," said coach Rex Ryan. Sudfeld has a relatively clear path to playing time if he takes the next step in his development. Jeff Cumberland is a lumbering big-bodied tight end, while rookie Jace Amaro's first-year camp reviews have been anything but positive. Sudfeld deserves some attention in deep Dynasty leagues and could emerge on the re-draft map.

Second-year TE Zach Sudfeld has reportedly been the most impressive tight end so far at Jets camp. Jeff Cumberland has been "relatively quiet," while second-round pick Jace Amaro has generally struggled and missed time with knee tendinitis. Positive news on Sudfeld may generate eyerolls in the fantasy community, but he still offers plus athleticism and stands 6'7/253. He probably won't make any fantasy noise in New York this season, but is worth monitoring in deep Dynasty leagues.

The New York Daily News reports the Jets are "high" on second-year TE Zach Sudfeld's "potential." The Jets aren't throwing in the towel on Sudfeld after re-signing Jeff Cumberland. A waiver claim from the Patriots last October, Sudfeld goes 6-foot-7, 253 with 4.78 wheels, soft hands, and a 37-inch vertical. He certainly has upside as a receiver, but must improve as a blocker and learn to better use his body.
