2025 Fantasy Outlook
Ruckert has a chance to emerge as the top option in the Jets’ new-look tight end room, but the 2022 third-round draft pick is competing with rookie second-round pick Mason Taylor and free-agent signing Stone Smartt. While Ruckert might be the best blocker of the group, he hasn’t done much as a pass catcher in the NFL, posting just 264 receiving yards through 41 NFL games. The 6-foot-5 TE is still searching for his first NFL touchdown, but nine of Ruckert’s 12 touchdowns at Ohio State came while playing with new Jets QB Justin Fields. Read Past Outlooks
Signed a four-year, $5.04 million contract with the Jets in May of 2022.
Catches 18 passes in 2024
Ruckert caught 18 of 28 targets for 105 yards in the 2024 season.
ANALYSIS
Ruckert worked as the No. 2 tight end behind Tyler Conklin, who is set to be an unrestricted free agent. If the Jets don't re-sign Conklin, they will almost certainly look to bring in another starter rather than promote Ruckert, who has yet to score a touchdown in 41 NFL games since being selected in the third round of the 2022 NFL Draft.

2022
Ruckert barely saw the field as a rookie, and the Jets’ 2022 third-round draft pick out of Ohio State wasn’t much of a factor in his sophomore season, catching 16 of 22 targets for 151 yards while spending most of the season as the third-string tight end behind Tyler Conklin and C.J. Uzomah. Conklin’s still around atop the depth chart, but Uzomah was released in March, so Ruckert’s poised to play a larger role in his third NFL campaign on a Jets offensive that’s expected to take a collective step forward with Aaron Rodgers returning under center after missing all but four snaps in 2023. The Lindenhurst, Long Island native grew up a Jets fan, but after scoring 12 touchdowns over his last three years at Ohio State, Ruckert has yet to experience what it’s like to find the end zone as a member of his favorite NFL team.

Latest Fantasy Rumors
Showing early chemistry with Fields
Ruckert has seen significant work with starting quarterback Justin Fields early in OTAs, per Zack Rosenblatt of The Athletic.
ANALYSIS
Fields and Ruckert played together at Ohio State, and that familiarity could help Ruckert gain an early edge in the Jets' tight end competition. Rookie second-round pick Mason Taylor is the favorite to eventually take the top spot on the depth chart, but Ruckert could contend for a prominent role early on in a tight end room that also includes Stone Smartt.
