Fantasy impact: The Jets have been coy in their discussion of most of their roster and they’re going to have their hands full against the Bucs on Sunday. Tampa Bay ranked first in the NFL in rushing yards allowed and they even got better on defense.

Those that drafted Chris Ivory shouldn’t panic yet and he’s a nice buy-low player.
