Throughout the season, NewYorkJets.com will provide a Stock Report focusing on the Jets' upcoming matchup.
This week's report features players and/or themes that are trending before the Green & White take on the Baltimore Ravens in Week 12.
š Jermaine Johnson
In Week 12 last season, Jets edge Jermaine Johnson had to watch the Jets play from home while rehabbing a torn Achilles tendon he sustained in Week 3. Heading into Week 12, a year later, Johnson has registered sacks in consecutive games and is playing some of his ball with 7 games remaining in the season.
"I'm just always going to be the best version of myself," Johnson said during Week 11. "And I feel like I hit the ground running and finally starting to turn the corner."
Over the first 8 weeks of the 2025 season, Johnson posted 1 sack and 14 pressures in 5 games. In the last 2 games, he has 11 pressures and 2 sacks, both coming in the fourth quarter.
Edge Will McDonald IV has also had a recent surge in production, posting 4 sacks and 10 pressures in the last 2 games. McDonald and Johnson together have been one of the best edge duos in the NFL the past month.
š Mason Taylor
Jets TE Mason Taylor, the No. 42 overall selection in April's NFL Draft, has played like one of the best rookies TEs in the NFL this season, and is eyeing Jets history with 7 games remaining.
The LSU product took over the Jets' starting TE role in Week 1 and has continued to settle into a bigger role in the offense as the year has gone along. Since Week 4, Taylor's 28 receptions are the third most among rookie tight ends and 10th among all tight ends.
For the year, Taylor has 34 receptions for 276 yards and a touchdown -- the game-tying score in the Jets' first win of the season against the Bengals in Week 8. Nick Folk's PAT won the game.
Historically, Taylor's rookie season is on its way to being among the best in franchise history. Taylor already has the sixth-most receiving yards in a season by a rookie TE and needs only a few hundred more to reach the record for a single season, 565 receiving yards by Pete Lammons. If Taylor averages 40 yards per game the last 7 weeks, he will reach the Lammons.

š Lamar (Action) Jackson
Baltimore's starting QB Lamar Jackson is a two-time MVP and three-time All-Pro, making it seem impossible that his stock could be going up, but following a 1-5 start, Jackson has stepped up as a passer.
Jackson has missed 3 games this season, but since his return to the lineup in Week 9, the Ravens have won 3- straight games, are 5-5 and have a .500 winning percentage for the first time since Week 2.
During Baltimore's win streak, Jackson has completed 69% of his passes for 5 touchdowns and 2 interceptions. On the season, Jackson leads the Ravens with 15 touchdown passes and 3 interceptions in 7 starts. His 115.5 passer rating leads the NFL.
Jackson's rushing stats, however, are down. For his career, Jackson has averaged 58.2 yards per game on the ground. This season he is posting just over 32 yards a game.
