2025 Fantasy Outlook
Clemons posted a career-high 4.5 sacks while starting all 17 games for the Jets last season. He'll likely be a rotational edge rusher in 2025, though Will McDonald and Jermaine Johnson - who suffered a season-ending Achilles tear in Week 2 last season - should both work ahead of Clemons when healthy. Read Past Outlooks
Signed a four-year, $4.42 million contract with the Jets in June of 2022.
Not playing vs. Buffalo
Clemons (ankle) has been ruled out for Sunday's game against the Bills.
ANALYSIS
Clemons was held out of practice all week due to an ankle injury and won't suit up for Sunday's regular-season finale. The fourth-year pro will end the 2025 regular season with 22 tackles (nine solo), including 1.0 sacks, and two pass defenses across 16 games. Eric Watts will serve as the Jets' top rotational defensive end behind Jermaine Johnson and Braiden McGregor in Clemons' absence.

Latest Fantasy Rumors
Set to start Week 1
Clemons is slated to start at defensive end opposite Jermaine Johnson for the Jets' regular-season opener against the 49ers on Monday, Rich Cimini of ESPN.com reports.
ANALYSIS
With Haason Reddick continuing his holdout for a new contract, Clemons is the likely candidate to get the start at defensive end while Will McDonald sees snaps on passing downs. Clemons started in just one game last year, but he still saw 353 snaps on defense across 16 regular-season games and finished with 27 tackles, including 0.5 sacks, and one forced fumble. Clemons will join Johnson, Javon Kinlaw and Quinnen Williams on Gang Green's defensive front for Week 1.
