New York Jets head coach Adam Gase on Thursday, May 23, called a recent report ‘ridiculous’ that the Jets will consider trading RB Le’Veon Bell before he played a down with the team.

Footballguys View: Not only did Gase shoot down the rumblings about Bell getting traded, he also said that he was excited to work with the superstar back. Things are a bit tumultuous with the Jets right now, but Fantasy GMs should know that Bell is going to be the centerpiece of the offense. He’s going to get enough work as a runner and receiver out of the backfield to warrant a top-10 selection. Bell has a current ADP of RB6 (1.08) in 12-team PPR leagues.

New York Jets DT Quinnen Williams sat out OTA drills Thursday, May 23 as he is deals with a calf injury.

Footballguys View: Williams was one of the best, if not the best, players in the 2019 NFL draft. The Jets used the No. 3 overall pick on the big defensive tackle and he should be quite disruptive for their defense inside. The injury is not believed to be anything major, and he was doing light work on the side during practice.
