Is Allen Lazard playing tonight? Jets WR's status and fantasy outlook explored for Week 6 MNF showdown vs Bills (IMAGN)

The Jeff Ulbrich era will officially kick off later tonight when the New York Jets take on the Buffalo Bills at MetLife Stadium to close the Week 6 NFL schedule. The Jets have more than a few injury concerns to deal with for Monday Night Football, with Aaron Rodgers the biggest name on the Jets injury report.

One man who didn't show up on that report is wide receiver Allen Lazard, who will suit up alongside Garrett Wilson as the Jets look to bounce back from their Week 5 loss to the Minnesota Vikings in London.

Is Allen Lazard playing tonight vs Bills on Monday Night Football in Week 6?

Lazard has a clean bill of health for Monday Night Football. Considering he didn't show up on the injury report all week, he will get the green light to face the Bills.

Aaron Rodgers was the Jets' primary injury concern for this primetime game. Rodgers suffered a low ankle sprain in the game against the Vikings and left the field for a few minutes before returning to action to try and squeeze out a win.

After Robert Saleh was fired, Jeff Ulbrich informed reporters that Rodgers would be a DNP in practice for a few days but would suit up on Monday.


Allen Lazard fantasy outlook for Week 6

Lazard has been targeted pretty frequently by his Aaron Rodgers through five weeks of football.

He averages 6.6 targets, with his season-low of three coming during a blowout win over the New England Patriots in Week 3. Lazard has four touchdowns, the last of those coming in the Week 5 loss to Minnesota.

The volume has been increasing since those three targets against New England. The question is how fit Aaron Rodgers is for this game, given he was limping at the end of the Vikings one.

The Jets offense hasn't been all that impressive but Lazard could be a good flex pick tonight on Monday Night Football.
