Jets’ Braxton Berrios: Four targets in return
Braxton Berrios caught two of four targets for 17 yards in Saturday’s 23-14 preseason win over the Packers. He added two yards on a punt return.Berrios returned to action after missing the preseason opener against the Giants due to a groin injury. His production in this one was nothing to write home about, but Berrios actually ranked second in targets behind Corey Davis (six), while no other teammate was thrown to more than twice. Berrios has the inside track on securing a roster spot due to his contributions as a return man on special teams and ability to fill in capably in the slot on offense, but a strong performance in the preseason finale against the Eagles would help put any doubt about his future with the New York Jets to bed prior to final cuts.

Jets’ Braxton Berrios: Won’t play Saturday
Braxton Berrios (groin) is ruled out for Saturday’s preseason contest against the Giants, Rich Cimini of ESPN.com reports.Coach Robert Saleh said he expects Berrios back in action for the New York Jets’ exhibition matchup against the Packers on Aug. 22, so it appears the wideout isn’t dealing with too serious an injury. Still, Berrios is competing for a depth role in New York’s revamped receiving corps, and missing any amount of time before Week 1 could hurt his chances of making the final roster.

Jets’ Braxton Berrios: Finishes with three TDs in 2020
Braxton Berrios caught all three of his targets for 20 yards and rushed twice for 16 yards in Sunday’s season-ending 28-14 loss to New England.Berrios finishes the season with 37 catches for 394 yards and three touchdowns. New York’s No. 4 receiver frequently bumped up the depth chart due to injuries above him, and Berrios is well positioned to maintain his depth role next season, as he also brings value as a special teams option in the return game. A starting role on the outside could open up if Breshad Perriman doesn’t re-sign with the New York Jets, but the team will almost certainly fill such a vacancy via free agency or the draft given its dearth of effective wide receivers.

Jets’ Braxton Berrios: Scores first TD since Week 3
Braxton Berrios caught all three of his targets for 60 yards and a touchdown in Sunday’s 23-16 win over the Browns.Berrios scored from 43 yards out on a pass thrown by fellow wide receiver Jamison Crowder. The touchdown was Berrios’ third of the season and first since Week 3. His contributions have been sporadic despite ample opportunities due to injuries to New York’s other wide receivers, but Berrios should continue logging time on offense while also working as a returner in Week 17 against the Patriots team that originally selected him in the sixth round of the 2018 draft.

Jets’ Braxton Berrios: Two catches and end zone drop in W
Braxton Berrios caught two of three targets for nine yards in Sunday’s 23-20 win over the Rams.Berrios’ lone miss was more memorable than either of his short connections, as the ball clanked off his hands in the end zone after a strong effort from quarterback Sam Darnold to escape pressure and deliver an accurate pass on the run. Had Berrios caught the ball, it would have been his third touchdown of the season. Up next for the no-longer winless New York Jets is a Week 16 date with the Browns.

Jets’ Braxton Berrios: No targets in Week 11
Braxton Berrios wasn’t targeted in Sunday’s 34-28 loss to the Chargers. He had three punt returns for 60 yards and one kick return for 16 yards.Berrios made a peculiar choice on the game’s final play with the Chargers kicking the ball away after a safety. Rather than trying to lateral the ball to give his team a chance, he ran a conventional return and was easily tackled to end the game. With starting slot receiver Jamison Crowder healthy, Berrios’ recent contributions have come almost exclusively on special teams.
