Ruckert caught both of his targets for 12 yards in Sunday's 19-9 loss to the Rams. Ruckert returned to a backup role with Tyler Conklin (personal) back from a one-game absence, but Ruckert had only one catch while Conklin was sidelined in Week 15 against the Jaguars. The 2022 third-round draft pick has shown limited upside as a pass catcher, as Ruckert has yet to score a touchdown in his career.

Ruckert caught both of his targets for 12 yards in Sunday's 19-9 loss to the Rams. Ruckert returned to a backup role with Tyler Conklin (personal) back from a one-game absence, but Ruckert had only one catch while Conklin was sidelined in Week 15 against the Jaguars. The 2022 third-round draft pick has shown limited upside as a pass catcher, as Ruckert has yet to score a touchdown in his career.
Ruckert caught one of three targets for 12 yards in Sunday's 32-25 win over the Jaguars. Ruckert was the only Jets tight end to be targeted in the absence of Tyler Conklin (personal), but the Lindenhurst, NY native didn't take advantage of the added opportunities. Ruckert has yet to exceed 17 yards in a game this season, and he won't have much fantasy upside in Week 16 against the Rams, regardless of Conklin's availability.
Ruckert is expected to serve as the Jets' starting tight end in Sunday's game against the Jaguars due to Tyler Conklin (personal) being ruled out for the contest, Rich Cimini of ESPN.com reports. With Conklin sitting out for the first time all season, Ruckert should have his best opportunity to date to see extended playing time. Until this Sunday, Conklin hasn't missed any games during his three-year tenure with the Jets, which has coincided with Ruckert's run in New York after he was selected in the third round of the 2022 NFL Draft. Ruckert hasn't played more than 50 percent of the Jets' offensive snaps or drawn more than three targets in any of his 13 appearances this season, but he could have a good chance at surpassing both marks Sunday.
Ruckert didn't catch his only target in Sunday's 32-26 overtime loss to the Dolphins. Ruckert remains a non-factor in fantasy, having failed to surpass 17 yards in a game this season. He'll likely continue to work as the backup to Tyler Conklin in Week 15 against the Jaguars.
Ruckert caught one of two targets for three yards in Sunday's 26-21 loss to the Seahawks. Ruckert saw a 25 percent snap share while starter Tyler Conklin had four catches and played 82 percent of snaps on offense. With 17 yards or fewer in every game this season, Ruckert remains firmly off the fantasy radar ahead of a Week 14 road game against the Dolphins.
Ruckert caught one of two targets for six yards in Sunday's 28-27 loss to the Colts. Ruckert was on the field for 15 of 51 snaps on offense while Tyler Conklin played 47. Kenny Yeboah upstaged both of them with an 11-yard touchdown catch in the fourth quarter on one of Yeboah's three offensive snaps.
Ruckert caught both of his targets for 17 yards in Sunday's 31-6 loss to Arizona. Ruckert was the Jets' most productive tight end in the loss, but he played only 20 snaps on offense compared to Tyler Conklin's 45. Ruckert has yet to score a touchdown in his 34-game NFL career, and his 17 yards against the Cardinals marked a season high.
Ruckert caught his only target for four yards in Thursday's 21-13 win over the Texans. Ruckert, Tyler Conklin and Kenny Yeboah contributed one catch apiece. As usual, Ruckert operated as the No. 2 tight end behind Conklin, with that role resulting in a 36 percent snap share for the 2022 third-round draft pick out of Ohio State in Thursday's win.
Ruckert caught all three of his targets for 14 yards in Sunday's 25-22 loss to the Patriots. As usual, Ruckert was a distant No. 2 at tight end behind Tyler Conklin, who caught a short touchdown for the second consecutive game. Ruckert has yet to exceed 15 receiving yards in a game this season, and the 2022 third-round draft pick is still searching for his first career touchdown heading into Week 9 against the Texans.
