The New York Daily News has been told by a source that Jets tight end Dustin Keller
will not play tomorrow against the Dolphins. Keller had been listed as questionable to play because of his bum hamstring. He went through limited practices on Wednesday and Thursday, but he didn't practice at all on Friday, leading to whispers that he may have suffered a setback. Keller hasn't played since Week 1. Jeff Cumberland will probably see the largest uptick in playing time with Keller out.
Fantasy Analysis:
Cumberland is not a fantasy option. He has five total catches for less than 50 yards and no scores through two games. The only Jets receiver I would think about starting this weekend is Santonio Holmes -- and I like him quite a bit as a WR3. You shouldn't have been starting Keller anyway as he clearly hasn't shaken off this hamstring injury, which is nearly a month old now. Considering the ever-growing depth at the TE position, you've probably rostered a decent replacement already.
