Jets' Corey Davis: Gets verbal support of head coach
Rotowire
Jets coach Robert Saleh said Friday that Davis "will be on this team" in 2023, Zack Rosenblatt of The Athletic reports.
Between a busy offseason for the Jets and Davis' non-guaranteed $10.5 million base salary, the 28-year-old wideout has been oft-mentioned as a potential cap casualty. The Jets traded WR Elijah Moore to Cleveland in late March, but only after signing Allen Lazard and Mecole Hardman, and they later added Randall Cobb to give QB Aaron Rodgers another one of his former receivers from Green Bay. Saleh pointed to Davis' blocking and "big boy catches" as reasons he'd stay with the Jets, but it still won't be much of a surprise if the front office has other ideas. Davis has played 22 of a possible 34 games since joining the Jets, catching 66 of 123 targets (53.7 percent) for 1,028 yards (15.6 YPR, 8.4 YPT) and six touchdowns. The rate numbers aren't bad considering the lousy QB play he's dealt with, but $10.5 million is a lot to pay for a receiver who isn't even guaranteed a full-time role.

Jets' Corey Davis: Totals 536 yards in 2022
Rotowire
Davis caught one of three targets for 17 yards in Sunday's 11-6 loss to the Dolphins. He finished the season with 32 catches on 64 targets for 536 yards and two touchdowns.
Davis needed just nine games to rack up 34 catches for 492 yards and four touchdowns in 2021. He played four more games in the 2022 campaign but had two fewer catches and two fewer touchdowns while totaling only 44 more yards. Rookie first-round pick Garrett Wilson emerged as the go-to option in the Jets' passing game, and the team's poor quarterback play didn't leave room for another receiver to produce consistently. Davis -- who turns 28 on Jan. 11 -- has one more year left on his contract but no guaranteed money.

Jets' Corey Davis: Three catches in loss
Rotowire
Davis caught three of six targets for 45 yards in Sunday's 23-6 loss to the Seahawks.
The Jets' entire offense struggled, and despite his weak numbers Davis wound up leading the entire WR group in yards, although tight end Tyler Conklin was the team's leading receiver overall. Davis has topped 50 yards just once in his last five games, and the team's unsettled quarterback situation will limit his upside in Week 18 against the Dolphins.

Jets' Corey Davis: Hindered by poor QB play
Rotowire
Davis caught two of seven targets for 14 yards in Thursday's 19-3 loss to the Jaguars.
Davis finished second on the team in targets behind Garrett Wilson (nine), but Zach Wilson and Chris Streveler combined to throw for only 182 yards, so none of New York's pass catchers found much success. The veteran wide receiver has shown chemistry with the latter Wilson at times, but with the second-year quarterback regressing, New York's passing game is in shambles. Davis will have limited fantasy appeal against a stingy Seattle secondary in Week 17 unless the Jets get quarterback Mike White (ribs) back.

Jets' Corey Davis: No injury designation
Rotowire
Davis (concussion) doesn't have an injury designation for Thursday's game against the Jaguars, Rich Cimini of ESPN.com reports.
Davis apparently has cleared the NFL's five-step concussion protocol after the Jets listed him as a full participant for walk-through practices Tuesday and Wednesday. He didn't have a chance to actually practice with the Jets on a short week, but he should see plenty of snaps nonetheless with backup wideouts Denzel Mims (concussion) and Jeff Smith (knee) both ruled out.

Jets' Corey Davis: Full participant Tuesday
Rotowire
Davis (concussion) was a full participant in Tuesday's practice, Adam Caplan of SiriusXM NFL Radio reports.
Meanwhile, the two guys that replaced Davis on the perimeter the past couple weeks both missed practice -- Denzel Mims with a concussion and Jeff Smith with a knee injury. While he'll still need to clear concussion protocol officially, Davis is trending toward a return to the starting lineup Thursday night against Jacksonville. The Jets have already announced Zach Wilson as their starting QB for at least one more game while Mike White recovers from a rib injury.

Jets' Corey Davis: Limited on practice estimate
Rotowire
Davis (concussion) was listed as limited on Monday's practice estimate, Rich Cimini of ESPN.com reports.
Ethan B. Greenberg of the Jets' official site previous relayed that coach Robert Saleh indicated that he is "very confident" Davis will be cleared ahead of Thursday night's game against the Jaguars. Davis was unable to practice last week before being ruled out ahead of Sunday's loss to the Lions, but at this stage the wideout is trending in the right direction ahead of Week 16 action.

Jets' Corey Davis: Looking good for Week 16
Rotowire
Coach Robert Saleh said Monday that he's "very confident" Davis (concussion) will be available Thursday versus the Jaguars, Ethan B. Greenberg of the Jets' official site reports.
Davis missed Sunday's loss to the Lions while working his way through the concussion protocols, but the Jets appear optimistic that his absence will be limited to one game. Saleh refused to confirm whether Mike White (ribs) will start Thursday or if the team will continue to roll with Zach Wilson, per Andy Vasquez of The Bergen Record, but Davis has had flashes of success with both QBs this season. He posted a season-high 85 yards with White under center in Week 15 but recorded a 5-74-1 line catching passes from Wilson in Week 4.

Jets' Corey Davis: Unavailable Week 15
Rotowire
Davis (concussion) has been ruled out for Sunday's game against Detroit, Brian Costello of the New York Post reports.
Davis was unable to practice this week after he suffered a concussion against the Bills, and he'll be sidelined for at least one game. The Jets have a quick turnaround next week with a Thursday game versus the Jaguars, so he's in danger of missing two contests in quick succession. Elijah Moore and Denzel Mims should be more involved Sunday with Davis sidelined, though the Jets' passing attack could take a step back with Zach Wilson starting at quarterback after Mike White (ribs) was ruled out.

Rotowire
Davis (concussion) remained sidelined at practice Thursday, Andy Vasquez of The Bergen Record reports.
Back-to-back missed practices cloud Davis' status for Sunday's game against the Lions. If Davis is unable to gain clearance for the contest, Garrett Wilson, Elijah Moore and Denzel Mims would be in line to lead the Jets' Week 15 wideout corps.

Jets' Corey Davis: No practice Wednesday
Rotowire
Davis (concussion) didn't practice Wednesday, Rich Cimini of ESPN.com reports.
Cimini reiterated Wednesday what head coach Robert Saleh said Monday, which is that the Jets are hopeful Davis will clear the concussion protocol in time to play this Sunday against Detroit. With one absence from practice to begin the week, Davis will likely need to make some sort of appearance in practice by Friday to have any chance of clearing the five-step protocol by Sunday.

Jets' Corey Davis: In concussion protocol
Rotowire
Head coach Robert Saleh revealed Monday that Davis (head) is in the NFL's concussion protocol, but the Jets are hopeful he'll be available Sunday against the Lions, Rich Cimini of ESPN.com reports.
Davis was injured early in Sunday's 20-12 loss to the Bills when a defender kneed him in the head as Davis completed a 15-yard catch. He'll need to pass the NFL's five-step concussion protocol to play against the Detroit.

Jets' Corey Davis: Exits Sunday's game
Rotowire
Davis (head) won't return to Sunday's game against the Bills.
Prior to his exit from the contest, Davis caught his only target for 15 yards. The wideout will now target a potential return to action next weekend against the Lions, though at this stage it's unclear if the head injury that forced Davis out of Sunday's contest will land him in the NFL's concussion protocol.

Jets' Corey Davis: Good to go this week
Rotowire
Davis (illness) has been cleared to play Sunday against the Bills practicing fully Friday.
Davis steadily increased his practice activity this week, as he sat out Wednesday's session before bumping up to limited activity Thursday and full participation Friday. In this past Sunday's 27-22 loss to the Vikings, Davis logged an 81 percent snap share en route to catching five of his 10 targets for 85 yards. Against Buffalo, Davis should continue to serve as a key cog in the Jets' passing offense alongside top wideout Garrett Wilson.

Davis (illness) returned to practice Thursday, Rich Cimini of ESPN.com reports.
Davis sat out Wednesday's practice, but the wide receiver's return to the field Thursday puts him on track to suit up Sunday against the Bills. The Jets' upcoming practice/injury report will clarify Davis' official participation level.

Jets' Corey Davis: Set to miss practice
Rotowire
Davis won't practice Wednesday due to an illness, Ethan B. Greenberg of the Jets' official site reports.
Per Al Iannazzone of Newsday, Davis is one of several Jets players who are battling the flu at this stage of the week. The wideout has two more chances to practice in advance of Sunday's game against the Bills, but now that he's started the week with a missed session, Davis' status in worth tracking. In the Jets' 27-22 loss to the Vikings this past weekend, he served as the clear No. 2 option in the passing game behind star rookie Garrett Wilson, catching five of his 10 targets for 85 yards.

Jets' Corey Davis: Week 14 Waiver Priority List
Rotowire
Davis looked great at Minnesota in Week 13 with five catches for 85 yards on 10 targets, and he is clearly the No. 2 receiver for the Jets behind Garrett Wilson, ahead of Elijah Moore. Davis will hopefully build on that performance in Week 14 at Buffalo, although it's a tough matchup. However, Davis gets Detroit in Week 15 and then Jacksonville in Week 16, and those would be favorable matchups with Mike White under center. Davis is worth adding in all leagues for up to 5 percent of your remaining FAB.

Jets' Corey Davis: Clear WR2 after Wilson in Week 13
Rotowire
Davis caught five of 10 targets for 85 yards in Sunday's 27-22 loss to the Vikings.
Davis was the intended receiver on Mike White's first-quarter interception, which came after the ball was tipped up in the air. The veteran wide receiver also failed to come up with the ball on a 4th-and-2 target late in the first half, but he made amends in the fourth quarter, coming down with a contested catch and turning up the field for a 31-yard gain on a 4th-and-10 play. Garrett Wilson led the team in both targets (15) and receiving yards (162), but Davis finished second in both categories, and White has shown that he's capable of feeding multiple receivers effectively heading into a Week 14 trip to Buffalo.

Davis (knee) doesn't carry an injury designation into Sunday's game against the Bears, Rich Cimini of ESPN.com reports.
Davis has practiced fully all week, putting him in position to suit up for the first time since Week 7. Prior to getting hurt, Davis caught 19 of 34 targets for 351 yards and two touchdowns in seven appearances.

Davis (knee) practiced fully Wednesday, Rich Cimini of ESPN.com reports.
Davis took part in his first practice since Week 7, and barring any setbacks in the coming days, the wideout looks poised to return to action Sunday against the Bears. In that scenario, Davis will be catching passes from Mike White, who has been announced as the Jets' Week 12 starting quarterback with the struggling Zach Wilson dropping to third on the depth chart.
