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

EDGE 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.

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

EDGE 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.

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

EDGE 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.

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

EDGE Analysis

Ruckert returned to action after hurting his shoulder earlier this preseason, entering the game after veterans Tyler Conklin and C.J. Uzomah. The 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.

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

EDGE 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.

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

EDGE 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.

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

EDGE 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.

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

EDGE 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.

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

EDGE 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.

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."

EDGE 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.
