The New York Jets reportedly bolstered their receiving corps Tuesday by signing veteran wide receiver Rishard Matthews to create another option for rookie quarterback Sam Darnold.
Adam Schefter of ESPN first reported the free-agent addition ahead of Week 8.
Although it will likely take Matthews a couple weeks to get up to full speed within the offense, he's worth a roster spot in deeper fantasy football leagues based on his potential in the evolving aerial attack, which should also see Darnold's value increase as the 2018 season rolls on.
Last month, the 29-year-old University of Nevada product told Austin Stanley of A to Z Sports Nashville he requested his release from the Tennessee Titans because it was "time to move on" based on a lack of playing time.
