Scoring Zone's Take

For Hulstein specifically, tight end is a position where late-summer roster adds occasionally turn into camp battles worth monitoring, but with zero context here on draft pedigree, prior production, or a stated role, there's no basis to treat him as more than a depth/practice-squad-caliber signing at this point. Jenkins, as a defensive lineman, has even less fantasy relevance on a standard scoring roster and should only matter if you're deep into IDP formats — and even there, this is not a signing that warrants a roster spot without further clarity on playing time.

Actionable take heading into draft prep: leave both players undrafted and off your watchlist for now. Do not use a late-round pick or a bench stash on either based on this news alone. If Hulstein starts drawing camp buzz for target share or Jenkins is mentioned in projected-starter conversations as preseason unfolds, that would change the calculus, but nothing here clears that bar. Confidence in this assessment is high — the sources are consistent and factual about the transaction itself, but by nature a bare signing announcement carries no fantasy-relevant projection, so treat this as a "monitor only" situation rather than a draft-day decision point.

The Jets did some roster rearranging on Wednesday.
