McKnight moved to the defensive side of the ball to help make up for the loss of Darrelle Revis for the season. The Jets signed Detroit Lions castoff Aaron Berry on Monday to help shore up the secondary.
Fantasy Impact: McKnight had lost out to Bilal Powell for the Jets' backup running back spot, making a move to defense possible in the first place.

Wait until the running back actually does something before targeting him off waivers, however.
