2025 Fantasy Outlook
Ruckert has a chance to emerge as the top option in the Jets’ new-look tight end room, but the 2022 third-round draft pick is competing with rookie second-round pick Mason Taylor and free-agent signing Stone Smartt. While Ruckert might be the best blocker of the group, he hasn’t done much as a pass catcher in the NFL, posting just 264 receiving yards through 41 NFL games. The 6-foot-5 TE is still searching for his first NFL touchdown, but nine of Ruckert’s 12 touchdowns at Ohio State came while playing with new Jets QB Justin Fields. Read Past Outlooks
Signed a four-year, $5.04 million contract with the Jets in May of 2022.
Two catches to Taylor's one
Ruckert caught both of his targets for 16 yards in Sunday's 34-32 loss to the Steelers.
ANALYSIS
Ruckert had one more target than Mason Taylor, though the rookie second-round pick turned his only look into a 20-yard catch. Ruckert looks like he'll have some involvement on offense, but the 2022 third-round draft pick hasn't scored a touchdown through 42 NFL games.

2022
Ruckert barely saw the field as a rookie, and the Jets’ 2022 third-round draft pick out of Ohio State wasn’t much of a factor in his sophomore season, catching 16 of 22 targets for 151 yards while spending most of the season as the third-string tight end behind Tyler Conklin and C.J. Uzomah. Conklin’s still around atop the depth chart, but Uzomah was released in March, so Ruckert’s poised to play a larger role in his third NFL campaign on a Jets offensive that’s expected to take a collective step forward with Aaron Rodgers returning under center after missing all but four snaps in 2023. The Lindenhurst, Long Island native grew up a Jets fan, but after scoring 12 touchdowns over his last three years at Ohio State, Ruckert has yet to experience what it’s like to find the end zone as a member of his favorite NFL team.

Latest Fantasy Rumors
Top-two TE for Jets
Ruckert is a lock to make the Jets' 53-man roster and has a firm grasp on one of the top two spots on the team's tight end depth chart, per Zack Rosenblatt of The Athletic.
ANALYSIS
Ruckert is more well-rounded and a better blocker than offseason addition Stone Smartt, which is why Rosenblatt views Ruckert as a lock to make the team out of training camp, while Smartt's considered on the bubble. Rookie second-round pick Mason Taylor is the favorite to emerge as the starter, but Ruckert's edge in experience could help him push Taylor for the top spot.
