Chad Hansen caught three passes for 21 yards in Sunday’s loss to the Saints.

Hansen has just eight receptions for 79 yards this season, so the rookie can be ignored over the final two weeks of the season in redraft leagues, especially with Bryce Petty at quarterback.

Jermaine Kearse held in check as Jets fall to Saints.

Kearse caught three passes for 28 yards in the 31-19 loss. New York’s offense is clearly limited with Josh McCown done for the season, so Kearse can be dropped in all leagues. He faces the Chargers in Week 16.

Robby Anderson caught five passes for 40 yards in Sunday’s loss to New Orleans.

Anderson led the Jets in receptions with Josh McCown out of the lineup, but it’s no surprise he didn’t have a big game with Bryce Petty under center. Fantasy owners should probably look elsewhere in Week 16 against the Chargers, as Anderson will likely see a lot of Casey Hayward on Christmas Eve.

Elijah McGuire makes the most of his touches in Week 15 loss.

McGuire rushed four times for 24 yards and caught three passes for 48 yards and a touchdown. The rookie led New York in receiving on Sunday, and despite having the least amount of backfield touches, he led the group in total yards, too. The Chargers are a great matchup on Christmas Eve, and McGuire might be worth playing as a desperation option, as the 5-9 Jets could give the 23-year-old an extended look over the final two weeks.

Matt Forte totals 34 yards in loss to the Saints.

Forte rushed seven times for 24 yards and caught two passes for 10 yards. The veteran back was ahead of Elijah McGuire for touches, but Bilal Powell handled the most with 13. Forte gets a nice matchup with the Chargers on Christmas Eve, but he won’t be a recommended fantasy option in a committee, especially after McGuire and Powell outplayed him in Week 15.

Bilal Powell scores in loss to the Saints.

Powell rushed 13 times for 44 yards, including a two-yard touchdown run in the second quarter. While he didn’t catch a pass, Powell led the team in carries by nearly doubling up Matt Forte. Still, he will be a risky fantasy option over the final two weeks with Forte and rookie Elijah McGuire around. The Jets play the Chargers next Sunday.

Bryce Petty throws two interceptions in 31-19 loss to New Orleans.

Petty was 19/39 for 179 yards, one touchdown, and two interceptions. He also rushed twice for 16 yards. The 26-year-old struggled to move the ball for the most part against the Saints, but New York was able to keep it close by forcing three turnovers. His lone touchdown was a two-yarder to running back Elijah McGuire. Petty should get another start in Week 16 against the Chargers, but he’s not a fantasy option for the fantasy championship.
