2023 Fantasy Outlook
One of the biggest wideouts in the league, Lazard went undrafted in 2018 despite accruing 3,360 yards at Iowa State and showing well at the combine (4.55 40, 122-inch broad jump, 38-inch vertical at 6-5, 227). Teams were wrong to overlook him, but if he was ever going to become a star it probably would've happened last year when he got the chance to be Aaron Rodgers' No. 1 receiver in Green Bay. The results weren't awful -- 60-788-6 on 100 targets in 15 targets -- but his huge jump in volume from previous seasons somewhat predictably coincided with a big drop in efficiency (7.9 YPT after three seasons at 8.6 or higher). Lazard is now with the Jets on a four-year, $44 million contract that includes half the money guaranteed at signing, and while he will benefit from playing with Rodgers again, he won't be the No. 1 receiver in an offense that already has 2022 first-round pick Garrett Wilson.

Big-money bust in 2023
Lazard finished the season with 23 catches for 311 yards and one touchdown on 49 targets.
ANALYSIS
Lazard signed a four-year, $44 million contract with the Jets in the offseason and was expected to offer a familiar face on the outside for Aaron Rodgers, but after Rodgers tore his Achilles in Week 1, Lazard failed to establish any chemistry with New York's other quarterbacks despite handling a starting role on the outside for most of the season. He appeared in 14 games, sitting two out as a healthy scratch and missing one due to an illness. The Jets have almost no choice but to bring Lazard back given his contract, but they'll almost certainly look for an upgrade at wide receiver to start opposite Garrett Wilson and push Lazard down the depth chart in 2024.

Most of the big ADP changes can be easily explained, but there are also guys like Isiah Pacheco and Kenneth Walker dropping down the ranks for unclear reasons.
RotoWire's Sasha Yodashkin is here to help you figure out how some of the NFL's biggest potential offseason movers -- including Kirk Cousins -- will impact both their new and old rosters.

Puka Nacua was the leader of a 2023 rookie class that outperformed expectations, setting the table for a 2024 class that comes with far more hype thanks to mega prospects Marvin Harrison and Malik Nabers.
Latest Fantasy Rumors
Will get chance to rebound
Lazard will be given every opportunity to rebound from his awful 2023 season, Rich Cimini of ESPN.com reports.
ANALYSIS
The Jets have little choice but to give the 28-year-old wideout another chance, considering that Lazard's $10 million salary for 2024 is fully guaranteed, and another club isn't going to trade for a player who managed a miserable 23 catches for 311 yards and one touchdown over 14 games. He averaged 50 catches for 650 yards and seven TDs over his final two seasons in Green Bay before signing with the Jets, and the team will hope having a health Aaron Rodgers under center in 2024 allows Lazard to approach that level of production again.

Past Fantasy Outlooks
2022
2021
2020
Lazard and Marquez Valdes-Scantling played hot potato with Green Bay's No. 2 receiver role
the last few years, and neither ever made it to even 700 yards in a single season. There's a
chance both get there for the first time this year, with MVS off to Kansas City and target-hogging
Davante Adams traded to the divisional-rival Raiders. Back in the NFC North, the Packers are
left with Lazard, second-round rookie Christian Watson, 2021 third-rounder Amari Rodgers, a
29-year-old Sammy Watkins and 32-year-old Randall Cobb. Given that group, Lazard has a real shot at No. 1 status, though it wouldn't mean anything close to the 10-11 targets per game Adams saw in recent seasons. Still, six or seven looks per game from Aaron Rodgers likely would be enough
to make the 2018 UDFA a solid fantasy starter for the first time in his age-26 season, following a
2021 campaign in which the final five weeks accounted for five of his eight TDs and more than
half of his receiving yards (290).
