Elimination Alert: Both of these teams have been eliminated from the postseason.
From a fantasy perspective, there is next to nothing to lock onto here.
Look at these implied team totals.
When these teams last played in Week 3, they combined for 25 points.
The Patriots have put up a fight over their past four games with Bailey Zappe.
The Jets' pass defense has hardly been as good as their full-season resume the past two weeks, but it is hard to elevate Zappe or any of the New England receivers as more than low-ceiling fantasy options.
