Allen Lazard Will Be Active This Sunday

New York Jets head coach Robert Saleh said that wide receiver Allen Lazard will be active on Sunday against the Atlanta Falcons in Week 13 after he was a healthy scratch in last Friday's loss to the Miami Dolphins. The Jets sent a message to the struggling 27-year-old by benching him last week. After signing a $44 million deal with the Jets in the offseason, Lazard has been hurt by drops and penalties in his first year with the team. He currently has 20 receptions on 41 targets for 290 yards and one touchdown in 10 starts. Lazard will be active against the Falcons this weekend, but he could see fewer snaps and isn't a recommended flex option, even in deeper fantasy leagues. Garrett Wilson remains the only fantasy wideout in New York worth trusting in lineups.
