New York Jets RB RolesLast Update: 8/17/2025
RB Overview
Role Security: Medium
8/17/25 -Breece Hall is expected to remain the lead running back, but new head coach Aaron Glenn has publicly stated his intent to involve a three-man backfield. Braelon Allen seems set for a large role as the No. 2 RB. Isaiah Davis projects to be the No. 3.
WR Overview
8/17/25 -Garrett Wilson remains the No. 1 wide receiver after averaging 8.5 targets per game in 2024-despite playing alongside Davante Adams, who is now with the Rams. Behind Wilson, the pecking order is wide open: Josh Reynolds, Allen Lazard, Xavier Gipson, Tyler Johnson, and rookie Malachi Corley are all in the mix for WR2 and WR3 roles.
TE Overview
8/17/25 -Rookie tight end Mason Taylor, drafted in Round 2, is expected to start immediately. With uncertainty at wide receiver behind Garrett Wilson, Taylor has a chance to finish second on the team in targets.
