The Jets Wire takes a look at the five Jets, who could be impact fantasy players during the 2020 season.

While the Jets are not going to set the fantasy football world ablaze in 2020, they have a few players who could be contributors.

New York’s players are largely looked at as last resort options in fantasy football due to the team’s consistent offensive struggles. However, with multiple players poised for breakout years, there should be some Jets worth considering when fantasy football players are compiling their teams.

With that said, here are five Jets who could be impact fantasy players for the 2020 season.
