Fantasy Impact: McKnight saved what had been a bad night for anyone who started the Jets as a Team D/ST option in standard fantasy leagues. The Texans racked up 378 total yards and scored 23 points. The Jets forced just one turnover -- an interception -- and notched zero sacks. You should be able to find better fantasy options simply by playing matchups off waivers every week. As for McKnight, he has value in leagues factoring in return yardage, but otherwise should be left on waivers in other fantasy formats.
