It’s been a slow start for some of fantasy football’s normally reliable receiving backs. Jalen Richard barely plays, Nyheim Hines has 31 total yards through two games, and Dion Lewis has even fewer (27).

Jets quarterback Sam Darnold will miss Monday night’s game against the Browns — and possible several more weeks — as he deals with an illness, coach Adam Gase revealed Thursday morning.
