Preseason Projection vs. Reality
Our 2026 Preseason Outlook
By the StatChasers staff. Published .
Klubnik lands in New York with no path to early snaps, sitting behind Geno Smith and merely fighting Brady Cook for the No. 2 line on the depth chart. The Jets spent only fourth-round capital here, and a potential first-round arm next spring could shove him further down. A back issue from OTAs has already cost him minicamp reps, and the per-game forecast of roughly 117 passing yards, under one touchdown, and only eight rushing yards reflects a clipboard role, not a fantasy asset.
The upside is purely developmental. His legs are the calling card, with 400-plus rushing yards projected annually if he ever plays, and the arm strength and compact delivery hint at a usable starter someday. But shaky reads and pocket recklessness, plus a clear college regression in 2025, keep him off standard radars. Treat him strictly as a deep superflex or dynasty rookie-draft flier, nothing more.
