Instant Fantasy Analysis - TE Jeremy Ruckert, Jets

[The Football Guru 211]

Team Fit: Ruckert was somewhat a victim of being on an Ohio State roster that had little need to throw to the tight end (Jaxon Smith-Njigba, Garrett Wilson and Chris Olave were the Buckeyes' top three receivers in 2021). When given the chance to do something other than block (which he does well), Ruckert flashed the ability to make the spectacular catch over the middle of the field. He isn't a great athlete, however, and wasn't asked to run much of a route tree. After adding C.J. Uzomah and Tyler Conklin in free agency, it's hard to see a path to playing time for Ruckert. He is worth a stash in deeper dynasty leagues, but he couldn't have picked a much worse redraft spot.
