  Patriots | Jalen Saunders coming to Pats    Tue Sep 1, 09:07 AM

New Orleans Saints WR Jalen Saunders is being traded to the New England Patriots Tuesday, Sept. 1, for a conditional draft pick, according to a league source.

Footballguys view: A former fourth round pick for the New York Jets during what ended up being a brutal 2014 draft, Saunders is a decent punt returner who will only have a fantasy impact in helping the New England special teams or team defense, which we already have ranked as a solid No. 1 fantasy defense.

  Jets | Sign one, release one    Mon Sep 29, 02:46 PM

The New York Jets signed WR T.J. Graham and released WR Jalen Saunders Monday, Sept. 29.

Footballguys view: Graham is a fast receiver, but he runs a limited route tree. His speed and ball-tracking ability have never quite surfaced in the pros like they did in college at North Carolina State.

  Jets | Jalen Saunders was restrained    Thu Aug 28, 01:11 PM

New York Jets WR Jalen Saunders (illness) had to be physically restrained by three police officers after suffering a seizure in his car two weeks ago.

Footballguys view: We're finally getting a little clarity on just what happened to the Jets rookie receiver. We can only hope the doctors have figured out why it happened and will take steps to keep it from happening again. As bad as Jacoby Ford was returning kicks and punts, Saunders should walk right into a job doing special teams.

  Jets | Hope Jalen Saunders can be returner    Sat Jun 28, 11:37 AM

The New York Jets are hoping WR Jalen Saunders will be able to win the punt returner job during training camp.

Footballguys view: Saunders can make plays in space. He's quick, agile and can make defenders miss in the open field. Saunders is a small receiver and struggles to win contested catches. His main contribution in the pros will be as a return specialist only despite being a good route-runner.

  Jets | Coach high on Jacoby Ford, Jalen Saunders    Thu May 29, 04:41 PM

New York Jets special teams coordinator Thomas McGaughey is high on WRs Jacoby Ford and Jalen Saunders as the potential kickoff returner and punt returner, respectively. 'The speed is there, definitely,' McGaughey said. 'Hopefully, I don't screw it up.'

Footballguys view: Both guys will have a shot at the return jobs. Ford may see more kick returns while Saunders is more of a punt return specialist. Ford has issues staying healthy as well. Saunders might be worth a flier late in redraft leagues since he could see some slot duties, but Ford isn't worth the roster spot and might not even make the cut for the Jets.
