Latest Fantasy Rumors
Should be priority for Jets
Rankins, a pending free agent, should be a high-priority re-signing for the Jets this offseason, Rich Cimini of ESPN.com suggests.
ANALYSIS
Cimini mentions the fact that Rankins plays a premium interior line position the Jets already are thin at, and he'll still be only 29 years old when next season begins. Additionally, the veteran played well against the run in 2022, as New York allowed just 3.8 yards per carry with him on the field and 4.1 without him.
