16. New York Jets (16)

For the sake of the New York Jets, let’s just say the team should be thankful to have Ryan Fitzpatrick back under center when looking at the sloppy play at backup between Geno Smith and Christian Hackenberg.

After falling just short of the playoffs last year in their first season under Todd Bowles as head coach, the Jets have enough weapons on both sides of the football to at least make the New England Patriots a little nervous in the AFC East. This team has always been known for their strong play on defense, but it’s the offense that should have fans excited about what’s in store heading into the regular season.

The addition of Matt Forte just makes New York even more dangerous as this offense should be fun to watch heading into the 2016 season. And to think this team was already dangerous with one of the top wide receiver duos in Brandon Marshall and Eric Decker.
