Mike Williams was traded, Lazard is out, and the Jets need answers at receiver (or tight end)

New York Times  

Malachi Corley was euphoric on the sideline, catching the high that comes when you score your first NFL touchdown. Williams never built chemistry with Aaron Rodgers after missing all of training camp, and even as his role increased with Allen Lazard sidelined the last two games, it didn’t amount to any production: 77 snaps, two targets and one catch for six yards. “Any young player, the quickest way to being on the field is special teams, so the more that I think he takes ownership of the special teams reps, and the more his role increases on special teams, the more he’s going to have opportunities in the offensive snaps as well.” GO DEEPER Jets second-half predictions: Rodgers chases records, trade deadline plans, playoff hopes More Irv Charles An interesting addition to what Rodgers said about Corley’s special teams reps: Unprompted, he brought up Charles, a special-teams demon who has carved out a role as the Jets’ best gunner. “He’s a super unselfish guy, absolute menace on special teams, but he had a nice training camp at receiver, so I’d love to see him get some opportunities as well.” With Lazard out, Charles is the most obvious fit style-wise to fill in for Williams, though he hasn’t shown much as a receiver in the NFL. They’ve run the 15th-most plays with two or three tight ends on the field, but only average four yards per play on those snaps, which ranks 26th in the NFL.
