2025 Fantasy Outlook
Lazard is entering the third season of a four-year, $44 million contract, albeit after taking a pay cut to stick with the Jets. The first year of the deal was a disaster, with Lazard even being a healthy scratch at one point, but he rebounded in 2024 and scored six touchdowns in 12 games. He didn't do a ton apart from the TDs, especially after the Jets traded for WR Davante Adams, averaging 3.2 targets over the final five weeks of the season (when Lazard, Adams and Garrett Wilson all were healthy). Lazard has a chance to compete for the No. 2 WR job this summer after Adams left for Los Angeles, but the job is unlikely to entail a large number of targets in an offense with Justin Fields at quarterback. There's also the matter of Lazard turning 30 before the end of the season, and the fact he's never enjoyed much success catching passes from a quarterback besides Aaron Rodgers. Anything more than four or five targets per game would be a major surprise. Read Past Outlooks
RANKS
Signed a four-year, $44 million contract with the Jets in March of 2023.
Surprise inactive for Week 1
Lazard (coach's decision) is inactive for Sunday's season opener versus the Steelers, Randy Lange of the Jets' official site reports.
ANALYSIS
After he was a major disappointment in the first season of his four-year, $44 million deal with the Jets in 2023, Lazard had something of a bounce-back effort in 2024, turning in a 37-530-6 receiving line on 60 targets over 12 games. With Davante Adams moving on to the Rams over the offseason, Lazard was presumed to be locked into a top-three role at receiver heading into 2025, but first-year head coach Aaron Glenn has instead elected to make the veteran wideout a healthy inactive for Week 1. With Lazard in street clothes, practice-squad call-up Tyler Johnson could be in position to serve as the Jets' No. 3 receiver behind Garrett Wilson and Josh Reynolds, while gadget player Xavier Gipson and rookie fourth-round pick Arian Smith are available as depth options at the position.

Lazard signed with the Jets in 2023 to play with Aaron Rodgers. With Rodgers playing just three snaps all season, Lazard had his worst season since he started playing regular snaps in 2019. Through the first five games, the receiver wasn’t terrible. During that time, Lazard averaged 2.6 receptions and 40 yards. Unfortunately, he was an afterthought in the offense over his last nine games. In that final stretch, Lazard caught a total of 10 passes for 109 yards. After the Jets signed Mike Williams in free agency, Lazard may need a starting receiver to miss time to see significant snaps.

Latest Fantasy Rumors
Likely to make Jets' roster
Zack Rosenblatt of The Athletic views Lazard as a safe bet to make the Jets' 53-man roster.
ANALYSIS
Rosenblatt stopped short of declaring Lazard a roster lock, but the Jets' lack of established options at wide receiver coupled with Lazard's blocking prowess should allow him to secure a depth role in 2025. Lazard has firmly dropped behind Josh Reynolds in the pecking order, though, so Reynolds will likely occupy the starting spot opposite Garrett Wilson on the outside.
