This season, Lazard has been an extremely productive player for the Jets when he’s been healthy. The former undrafted free agent has 30 catches for 412 yards and five scores in seven games, averaging 13.7 yards per reception.

Davante Adams OVER 61.5 Receiving Yards (-115)

Lazards may be returning, but it's hard to figure out what his role will be, especially since he's played just one game with Davante Adams on the roster.

If there’s anyone to trust in this Jets offense, it's Adams, who has played nearly every offensive snap since he was acquired in a deal with the Las Vegas Raiders.

Adams’ arrival was in Week 7, so he only overlapped with LAzard for one game. Over his four games, Adams has over 61.5 receiving yards in three of them, catching at least five passes in every game.

The Jets have not been a great offense, and Miami is solid against the pass – allowing the eighth fewest passing yards in the league this season.

I’ll back Adams over anyone else to have a serviceable game for New York.
