Jets X-Factor argues that the New York Jets should increase their use of multiple tight end sets to boost offensive production. Under new offensive coordinator Frank Reich and quarterback Geno Smith, the team has found strong early-season success utilizing 12 and 13 personnel packages across their first three games.

Against the Detroit Lions, tight ends Kenyon Sadiq and Jeremy Ruckert combined for 12 receptions, 144 yards, and two touchdowns. The outlet notes that while Reich historically favors three-wide receiver sets, deploying heavy packages better utilizes the roster's playmakers, particularly with Mason Taylor expected to return.
