QB Sam Darnold
The big thing for the Jets down the stretch is their weaker schedule. One of the easiest in the NFL, and that’s going to help Sam Darnold. He had a solid outing against the Redskins, including four touchdowns last week, and his upcoming schedule includes the Raiders this week (27th pass defense), Bengals (24th), and Dolphins (20th). Dare we say that Darnold gets you into the postseason with these cupcake opponents?

WR James Washington
The Steelers have two banged up wideouts in JuJu Smith-Schuster and Diontae Johnson. Next man up is James Washignton. He a strong Week 10 against the Rams with six catches, 90 yards and a score and came back down to earth a little last week. But factoring in his likely uptick in targets and his opponent, the Bengals, he could be a good start.

WR N’Keal Harry
Tom Brady is starved for playmakers this season, so can the rookie first-round pick be of help? N’Keal Harry and the Patriots face the No. 7 pass defense in the Cowboys this week, but after three catches and 18 yards in Week 11, could he see more of an uptick? Potential banged up teammates Phillip Dorsett and Mohamed Sanu suggest yes, he could. Even if those guys are healthly, the Pats could benefit from getting Harry involved in the offense since losing Antonio Brown and Josh Gordon.
