The Facts:
The Jets conducted their third OTA practice today, the first session that was open to the media. The star of practice was Franks, who shined in a seven-on-seven, red-zone drill. He made a nice, one-handed, falling-down grab in the end zone on a pass from Chad Pennington, and Bubba came back moments later with a TD grab from Kellen Clemens. Later, in a full-team drill, he made a diving TD catch from Pennington.

Fantasy Football Diehards Line:
Should no-show Chris Baker be worried? Not according to Daily News staffer Rich Cimini, who believes that Baker (not in attendance to protest his contract) still is the best tight end on the roster. Cimini added, "Franks was one of the best red-zone tight ends in the league -- he and Brett Favre had a lot of success together in Green Bay -- but one good practice in May doesn't mean the old Bubba is back." True. But a change of scenery is often helpful. It's worth watching.
