2025 Fantasy Outlook
Lazard is entering the third season of a four-year, $44 million contract, albeit after taking a pay cut to stick with the Jets. The first year of the deal was a disaster, with Lazard even being a healthy scratch at one point, but he rebounded in 2024 and scored six touchdowns in 12 games. He didn't do a ton apart from the TDs, especially after the Jets traded for WR Davante Adams, averaging 3.2 targets over the final five weeks of the season (when Lazard, Adams and Garrett Wilson all were healthy). Lazard has a chance to compete for the No. 2 WR job this summer after Adams left for Los Angeles, but the job is unlikely to entail a large number of targets in an offense with Justin Fields at quarterback. There's also the matter of Lazard turning 30 before the end of the season, and the fact he's never enjoyed much success catching passes from a quarterback besides Aaron Rodgers. Anything more than four or five targets per game would be a major surprise. Read Past Outlooks

April 10, 2025
Lazard agreed Thursday to reduce his 2025 salary from $11 million to $2.5 million, Adam Schefter of ESPN reports.
ANALYSIS
Lazard is entering the third season of a four-year contract that now includes $1.75 million guaranteed for 2025, after he barely played in 2023 but rebounded last season to score six touchdowns in 12 games (10 starts). He turned 29 years old in December and may now end up in an open competition for playing time behind the Jets' No. 1 wideout, Garrett Wilson. The upcoming season will mark Lazard's first playing on a roster that doesn't have quarterback Aaron Rodgers.

2020
Lazard signed with the Jets in 2023 to play with Aaron Rodgers. With Rodgers playing just three snaps all season, Lazard had his worst season since he started playing regular snaps in 2019. Through the first five games, the receiver wasn’t terrible. During that time, Lazard averaged 2.6 receptions and 40 yards. Unfortunately, he was an afterthought in the offense over his last nine games. In that final stretch, Lazard caught a total of 10 passes for 109 yards. After the Jets signed Mike Williams in free agency, Lazard may need a starting receiver to miss time to see significant snaps.
One of the biggest wideouts in the league, Lazard went undrafted in 2018 despite accruing 3,360 yards at Iowa State and showing well at the combine (4.55 40, 122-inch broad jump, 38-inch vertical at 6-5, 227). Teams were wrong to overlook him, but if he was ever going to become a star it probably would've happened last year when he got the chance to be Aaron Rodgers' No. 1 receiver in Green Bay. The results weren't awful -- 60-788-6 on 100 targets in 15 targets -- but his huge jump in volume from previous seasons somewhat predictably coincided with a big drop in efficiency (7.9 YPT after three seasons at 8.6 or higher). Lazard is now with the Jets on a four-year, $44 million contract that includes half the money guaranteed at signing, and while he will benefit from playing with Rodgers again, he won't be the No. 1 receiver in an offense that already has 2022 first-round pick Garrett Wilson.
Lazard and Marquez Valdes-Scantling played hot potato with Green Bay's No. 2 receiver role the last few years, and neither ever made it to even 700 yards in a single season. There's a chance both get there for the first time this year, with MVS off to Kansas City and target-hogging Davante Adams traded to the divisional-rival Raiders. Back in the NFC North, the Packers are left with Lazard, second-round rookie Christian Watson, 2021 third-rounder Amari Rodgers, a 29-year-old Sammy Watkins and 32-year-old Randall Cobb. Given that group, Lazard has a real shot at No. 1 status, though it wouldn't mean anything close to the 10-11 targets per game Adams saw in recent seasons. Still, six or seven looks per game from Aaron Rodgers likely would be enough to make the 2018 UDFA a solid fantasy starter for the first time in his age-26 season, following a 2021 campaign in which the final five weeks accounted for five of his eight TDs and more than half of his receiving yards (290).
Lazard came out of the gate hot last season, racking up 271 yards from scrimmage and two touchdowns over the first three weeks. However, he was injured Week 3 and didn't take the field again until Week 11. Lazard was eased back in and had a quiet finish to the regular season, but he did get the job done in the playoffs, totaling 158 yards and a score over two games. He finished only fourth on the team in receiving yards in 2020, but chances are he'll start opposite Davante Adams this year. Lazard averaged more yards per game than fellow wideout Marquez Valdes-Scantling and played more snaps than MVS when at full speed. While Lazard isn't flashy, his blocking skills will keep him on the field frequently, and he's worth a look if he can lock down the No. 2 spot ahead of Valdes-Scantling, Randall Cobb and Amari Rodgers.
Lazard came on down the stretch last year and entered Aaron Rodgers' rarified circle of trust, something denied to most young Packers receivers the last few seasons. As such, he enters the year as the de facto No. 2 option out wide behind clear No. 1 target hog Davante Adams. At 6-foot-5 and 227 pounds, Lazard is massive, and his 4.55-second 40-yard dash time is satisfactory for his size. He managed a solid 13.6 YPC and 9.2 YPT on 52 looks in 2019, though he didn't see a single target until Week 6 and got more than five only three times. To the chagrin and puzzlement of many, the Packers didn't add any receivers via the draft, and their "big" free-agent addition, Devin Funchess, has opted out of the 2020 season. Lazard has a nice chance to emerge as the No. 2 wide receiver in Green Bay.

Latest Fantasy Rumors
Might be on move
WRNew York Jets
May 12, 2025
Lazard might be on the Steelers' radar in a trade, Bryan DeArdo of CBS Sports reports.
ANALYSIS
Pittsburgh has long been the rumored landing spot of Aaron Rodgers in free agency, and Lazard is a target the veteran quarterback is very comfortable with as the duo played together with both the Packers and Jets. Lazard would add depth to a Steelers receiving room that just lost George Pickens, but the 29-year-old has never topped 60 catches or 788 receiving yards in a season, finishing last year with a 37-530-6 line in 12 regular-season games for the Jets.
