Catches two passes vs. Jacksonville Ruckert caught both of his targets for 13 yards in Sunday's 48-20 loss to the Jaguars.

Impact The Ohio State product recorded the fifth-most receiving yards on the Jets while filling in for the injured Mason Taylor (neck) during Sunday's loss. Ruckert has now caught 20 of 23 targets for 163 yards and one touchdown across 14 appearances this season. He's expected to return to a reserve role if Taylor is active for the Week 16 matchup against the Saints.

Prepared for increased role Ruckert is set to have a bigger role in Sunday's game against the Jaguars, Rich Cimini of ESPN.com reports.

Impact In the absence of Mason Taylor (neck), Ruckert is set to take on a bigger role, likely in both the pass and run game. The tight end will likely be utilized as an additional blocker to protect Brady Cook and to open up holes for Breece Hall, but his ability in the receiving game cannot be understated. Ruckert has 18 receptions for 150 yards and one touchdown on 21 targets this season as the backup to Mason Taylor. Being thrust into the No. 1 tight end role means the 2022 third-rounder could see a further increased target share in Sunday's contest as well.

Ties career high with four catches Ruckert caught four of five targets for 23 yards in Thursday's 27-14 loss to the Patriots.

Impact Ruckert tied for the team lead in catches with Mason Taylor, as Justin Fields frequently looked for his tight ends in the absence of top wide receiver Garrett Wilson (knee), who was placed on IR prior to the game. Taylor has a higher ceiling as a pass catcher than Ruckert, as the latter hasn't exceeded 28 yards in a game this season. Ruckert's four catches tied his career high, which he set in Week 5 against the Cowboys.

Impact Ruckert's catch accounted for one of just six passes completed by Justin Fields, who threw for only 54 yards in the win. Ruckert's backup role in a low-octane passing offense doesn't inspire much confidence for fantasy production.

Impact Ruckert maintained a secondary role as Mason Taylor (quadriceps) suited up after being listed as questionable. Taylor led the team with eight targets and caught the game-winning touchdown. Ruckert's likely to remain in a backup role after the Jets' Week 9 bye.
