Zach Wilson NEWS
Zach Wilson To Compete For QB Job Next Season
New York Jets head coach Robert Saleh said that quarterback Zach Wilson will have a chance to compete for the starting QB job in 2023, but Saleh won't commit to Wilson being the starter right after the Week 18 regular season finale loss to the Miami Dolphins. The former No. 2 overall pick got a late start to the 2022 campaign due to a knee injury and then completely flopped, getting benched twice. He finished with a 54.5% completion percentage, 1,688 yards, six touchdowns and seven interceptions in nine starts and looked worse in his second NFL season. Many folks believe he needs a change of scenery already, but the Jets aren't giving up on him just yet. Mike White and Joe Flacco are free agents this offseason, but the Jets are fully expected to bring in another QB -- via free agency or a trade -- so Wilson will likely be fighting an uphill battle to win his job back.
Jan 10, 2023 • 12:11 AM | RotoBallerJets Standing By Zach Wilson Moving Forward
The New York Jets aren't giving up on former first-round quarterback Zach Wilson, with head coach Robert Saleh saying the organization will do everything "through hell or high water" to maximize his potential. Wilson was benched twice in his second NFL season and will finish the year as a healthy scratch as the No. 3 QB in Week 18. "I think Zach needs to get away, read a book and figure that out," Saleh said. The former second overall pick really struggled in 2022 after missing the first three games with a knee injury, but he's only 23 years old and has time to turn things around. However, the Jets aren't committing to Wilson as their starter in 2023, even with Mike White and Joe Flacco set to be free agents this upcoming offseason. Focusing on fundamentals such as footwork and balance could be two big points of emphasis entering next season. Even if Wilson wins the starting job, fantasy managers will likely be ignoring him in single-QB leagues.
Jan 5, 2023 • 3:53 AM | RotoBallerZach Wilson Won’t Be Shopped Next Offseason
New York Jets quarterback Zach Wilson is not expected to be shopped during the upcoming offseason, according to Ian Rapoport of NFL.com. Recently, head coach Robert Saleh said, "We're not going to quit on him." Similarly, Rapoport writes that Wilson will "remain in [the] team's plans in Year 3." The BYU product and former No. 2 pick has struggled in his second pro season, completing just 54.5 percent of passes for 1,688 yards, six touchdowns, and seven interceptions. While it looks like Wilson will be part of the Jets' 2023 plans, he won't play a role for the remainder of 2022. Mike White will start in Weeks 17 and 18, Flacco will back him up, and Wilson will be inactive.
Jan 1, 2023 • 1:08 PM | RotoBallerZach Wilson Likely To Make Another Start
On a short week and with New York Jets quarterback Mike White (ribs) still needing to clear a lot of medical hurdles in order to suit up in Week 16, it's looking likely that Zach Wilson will make his second straight start on Thursday night against the Jacksonville Jaguars. White is reportedly dealing with three rib fractures, so fantasy managers shouldn't be expecting him to be out on the field this week. Wilson had one of his better games for the Jets in the Week 15 loss to the Detroit Lions, going 18-for-35 for 317 yards, two touchdowns and an interception. Still, he left some big throws out on the field and should remain a low-end QB2 option for fantasy managers despite likely facing a Jaguars defense that has been a friendly matchup for the QB position in 2022.
Dec 19, 2022 • 11:28 PM | RotoBallerZach Wilson To Start Against Lions
New York Jets quarterback Zach Wilson will return as the starter under center in Week 15 against the Detroit Lions on Sunday after team doctors refused to clear Mike White (ribs) for contact before Sunday's game. Before this news, the Jets elevated Wilson from No. 3 to No. 2 after he was a healthy scratch the last three weeks. But now the 23-year-old second-year signal-caller will make his first start since Week 11, with veteran Joe Flacco backing him up. Wilson has completed just 56 percent of his passes for 1,279 yards, four touchdowns and five interceptions in his seven starts in 2022 and has looked like he's taken a step back from his rookie campaign in 2021. He has a great matchup against Detroit's D, but Wilson shouldn't be trusted as anything more than a low-end QB2 in superflex leagues.
Dec 16, 2022 • 5:07 PM | RotoBallerZach Wilson Won't Start Against Bears
New York Jets players were informed during a team meeting on Wednesday that quarterback Zach Wilson will not start in Week 12 against the Chicago Bears on Sunday, according to sources. Wilson is being benched despite going 5-2 on the season, with both of his losses coming to the New England Patriots. Not only is the 23-year-old being benched, but he will be a healthy scratch as the No. 3 QB behind Mike White and Joe Flacco. Wilson went 9-for-22 for just 77 yards in Sunday's loss to the Pats. Head coach Robert Saleh said the team still views Wilson as the franchise's long-term QB but that he's in need of a reset after missing the first three games of 2022 due to a knee injury. He has four touchdowns and five interceptions and is averaging just 6.8 yards per attempt in his seven starts.
Nov 23, 2022 • 6:08 PM | RotoBallerZach Wilson Not Guaranteed To Start In Week 12
New York Jets head coach Robert Saleh would not commit to Zach Wilson starting at quarterback against the Chicago Bears next Sunday. This is a significant development considering it marks the first time that Saleh has left the door open for Wilson to be benched. The 23-year-old has completed just 55.6 percent of passes for 1,279 yards, four touchdowns, and five interceptions through seven games this season. He also has 94 rushing yards, one rushing touchdown, and 16 sacks. If the Jets do make a change under center, Wilson's replacement would likely be Mike White, who has spent the past few weeks listed at No. 2 on the depth chart.
Nov 21, 2022 • 11:13 PM | RotoBallerZach Wilson To Remain Starter For Rest Of The Year
New York Jets head coach Robert Saleh said that quarterback Zach Wilson will be the team's starter for the rest of the season, barring injury, because he's a big reason why the team is currently 5-3. Saleh said Wilson's carelessness with the football in the Week 8 loss to the New England Patriots was an outlier. "He's our QB because we think he's going to get better and continue to prove why he's the No. 2 pick," Saleh said. The 23-year-old threw three interceptions, his first picks since his season debut in Week 4, although he also had a season-high 355 passing yards and two touchdowns on 41 attempts on Sunday. Wilson only has three TDs and five interceptions in his five games this year, and if game script allows, the Jets offense will most likely remain run-first moving forward.
Oct 31, 2022 • 11:16 PM | RotoBallerZach Wilson Good To Go In Week 5
New York Jets quarterback Zach Wilson (ankle) practiced in full each of the last two days and has been cleared to play in Week 5 against the Miami Dolphins. Wilson was removed from the final injury report on Friday. Also, all signs are pointing towards left tackle Duane Brown (shoulder) coming off Injured Reserve to make his season debut this weekend. That's more good news for Wilson heading into his matchup with Miami. Wilson made his season debut in last week's win over the Pittsburgh Steelers, throwing for 252 yards, a touchdown and two interceptions on 36 pass attempts. He also caught a touchdown pass. Wilson will be in play as a low-end QB2 option in superflex leagues in his second game of 2022.
Oct 7, 2022 • 10:29 PM | RotoBallerZach Wilson Upgrades To Full Practice
New York Jets quarterback Zach Wilson (ankle) was upgraded to a "full" practice on Thursday after he was limited with an ankle issue on Wednesday. Wilson called it a "little ankle" injury and said he's "in a good spot" heading into a Week 5 meeting with the Miami Dolphins this Sunday. The 23-year-old second-year signal-caller made his season debut in last week's win over the Pittsburgh Steelers after having his knee scoped in mid-August. Wilson went 18-for-36 for 252 yards, one touchdown and two interceptions, and he also caught a touchdown pass on a trick play. In a matchup against Miami's blitz-happy defense, Wilson will be on the fantasy radar as a low-end QB2.
Oct 6, 2022 • 11:33 PM | RotoBallerZach Wilson Limited With Ankle Injury
New York Jets quarterback Zach Wilson (ankle) will be a limited practice participant on Wednesday due to an ankle injury, according to head coach Robert Saleh. Wilson was not on the field for the early portion of practice. Wilson returned from a knee injury to make his season debut in the Week 4 win over the Pittsburgh Steelers, and he went 18-for-36 for 252 yards, one touchdown and two interceptions while also catching a touchdown pass on a trick play near the goal line. The 23-year-old is now dealing with an ankle injury, but it's not expected to keep him from facing the Miami Dolphins this weekend. Wilson will once again be a low-end QB2 in superflex leagues in what will be his second start of the year in Week 5.
Oct 5, 2022 • 5:00 PM | RotoBallerJets Tempering Expectations With Zach Wilson
New York Jets quarterback Zach Wilson (knee) is set to make his season debut against the Pittsburgh Steelers in Week 4. The second-year quarterback missed the first three games after suffering a meniscus injury and a bone bruise in his knee during the preseason. Surprisingly, the Jets have looked halfway decent with veteran Joe Flacco under center. Despite that, Wilson will get the keys to the offense going forward. However, the organization is tempering their expectations for Wilson in his return. The 23-year-old does have potential, but remains a low-end QB2 right now.
Oct 2, 2022 • 1:54 PM | RotoBallerZach Wilson Medically Cleared, Will Start In Week 4
New York Jets head coach Robert Saleh announced on Wednesday that quarterback Zach Wilson (knee) has been medically cleared and will start in Week 4 against the Pittsburgh Steelers, barring any setbacks. Wilson will be making his season debut, while veteran Joe Flacco will head back to the bench. The 23-year-old second-year signal-caller suffered a meniscus injury and a bone bruise in his knee in the preseason, causing him to miss the first three games. Wilson had a rough rookie season and isn't guaranteed a second-year leap, although he does have plenty of weapons in the backfield and at wide receiver. Until we see more from him, Wilson will be a low-end QB2 play in superflex leagues, at best.
Sep 28, 2022 • 4:01 PM | RotoBallerJets Expect Zach Wilson To Return In Week 4
New York Jets head coach Robert Saleh said he's expecting quarterback Zach Wilson (knee) to make his season debut in Week 4 against the Pittsburgh Steelers, but doctors will have the final say. Wilson could be cleared as early as Monday, and when that happens, he'll take his starting job back from veteran Joe Flacco. Flacco threw two interceptions, lost a fumble and was sacked four times in the Week 3 loss to the Cincinnati Bengals. Wilson suffered a meniscus tear and bone bruise in his right knee in the preseason opener and hasn't played since after having arthroscopic surgery on Aug. 16. Expect the 23-year-old to need to shake off some rust, making him nothing more than a low-end QB2 in superflex leagues if he makes his debut this week.
Sep 26, 2022 • 4:21 PM | RotoBallerZach Wilson Expected To Return In Week 4
New York Jets quarterback Zach Wilson (meniscus) should be cleared to play in Week 4, according to Ian Rapoport of NFL Network. The second-year signal-caller injured his knee in the preseason and hasn't been able to suit up in the regular season yet. Joe Flacco has filled in admirably, completing 63 passes for 616 yards, five touchdowns, and one interception through two weeks. The Jets surely hope for a seamless transition from Flacco to Wilson, who tossed nine touchdowns and 11 interceptions as a rookie in 2021.
Sep 25, 2022 • 1:03 PM | RotoBallerZach Wilson Will Play When Ready
New York Jets quarterback Zach Wilson (knee) won't make his season debut in Week 3 against the Cincinnati Bengals, but he has a chance to be cleared in Week 4 against the Pittsburgh Steelers. The Jets plan to turn back to Wilson, even if veteran Joe Flacco has another strong game this weekend. "No, Zach is the future of the organization, we all know that," head coach Robert Saleh said. "As soon as the doctors clear him, we will get him on the field." Flacco led an improbable comeback win over the Cleveland Browns last week and has been given plenty of opportunities to throw the football, but Wilson remains the future in New York. Wilson should only be stashed in superflex leagues.
Sep 22, 2022 • 5:20 PM | RotoBallerZach Wilson Hopeful To Play In Week 4
New York Jets quarterback Zach Wilson (knee) is eyeing a return in Week 4. The 23-year-old is expected to ramp up his activities this week. That being said, veteran Joe Flacco is set to make at least one more start for the Jets. He has surprisingly played very well, but is expected to revert to the backup role once Wilson is ready. Wilson struggled last season, but the Jets aren't going to give up on him that quickly. However, he's still young and learning, which makes him tough to trust in fantasy formats. Wilson can remain on the waiver wire in most formats even when he does eventually return.
Sep 22, 2022 • 1:27 AM | RotoBallerZach Wilson To Ramp Up Activities This Week
New York Jets quarterback Zach Wilson (knee) will see a slight ramp-up this week in practice, according to head coach Robert Saleh. Wilson will not play in Week 3 against the Cincinnati Bengals, and Saleh won't say definitively that Wilson will be ready to start in Week 4. However, the head coach said Wilson is "progressing well... looking good... so we'll see." The 23-year-old second-year QB had arthroscopic right knee surgery on Aug. 16, which has delayed his start to the 2022 season. Veteran Joe Flacco has gone over 300 yards passing in each of the first two games and led the Jets to an improbable comeback win over the Browns in Week 2, but he'll revert to backup duties once Wilson is 100% healthy. Wilson should only be stashed in two-QB leagues.
Sep 19, 2022 • 9:37 PM | RotoBallerZach Wilson Won't Be Ready Until Week 4
New York Jets head coach Robert Saleh said it's likely that the earliest quarterback Zach Wilson (knee) will be available is Week 4 against the Pittsburgh Steelers. The Jets already announced veteran Joe Flacco as their starter for the Week 1 regular season opener, and he'll presumably start at least the first three games with Wilson sidelined. Wilson suffered a knee injury in training camp that required surgery, and the Jets don't want to rush the second-year signal-caller back too soon. Still, it's bad news for the 23-year-old after he struggled mightily in his first NFL season in 2021. He'll eventually get the starting job back, but fantasy managers that have Wilson rostered in dynasty/keeper leagues can't like the way his season has started.
Sep 7, 2022 • 4:06 PM | RotoBallerZach Wilson Still In Play For Week 1 Start
New York Jets head coach Robert Saleh told reporters on Monday that quarterback Zach Wilson (knee), who is dealing with a bone bruise and meniscus tear, had a workout on Monday and is potentially in play to start in Week 1 against the Baltimore Ravens. The team will make an official announcement on Wednesday. If Wilson isn't ready, it will be veteran Joe Flacco making the start against his former club. Even if Wilson doesn't play in the season opener, it looks like he's made great progress and shouldn't be out for too long to begin the year. The 23-year-old has plenty of weapons on offense and should be able to take a step forward in Year 2, but he should still be considered a low-end QB2 for fantasy purposes until he shows us more.
Sep 5, 2022 • 4:25 PM | RotoBallerJets May Wait To Decide Zach Wilson's Week 1 Status
New York Jets quarterback Zach Wilson (knee) has an "outside chance" to be ready for Week 1. However, head coach Robert Saleh may wait until the week of the season opener before deciding if Wilson will be under center versus the Baltimore Ravens. The sophomore recently had surgery to repair a partially torn meniscus suffered during a preseason matchup against the Philadelphia Eagles. Unquestionably, Saleh will play it safe with the 23-year-old and not rush him back before he's fully healthy. Wilson has plenty of upside heading into the 2022-23 campaign, so even if he misses a game or two, he still has the potential to exceed his ADP expectations. At the same time, there's also a possibility he'll have a repeat of his subpar rookie season.
Aug 26, 2022 • 12:13 AM | RotoBallerZach Wilson Has "Outside Chance" For Week 1
New York Jets quarterback Zach Wilson (knee) has an "outside chance" to play in Week 1, according to NFL Network's Ian Rapoport. The signal-caller had a meniscus trim after tearing it during the preseason matchup against the Philadelphia Eagles. While things could have turned out much worse for Wilson, he is also dealing with a bone bruise, complicating his recovery. Nonetheless, the Jets hope to see the 23-year-old improve significantly after his subpar rookie campaign. Yet, the team won't take any chances, so he won't be rushed back early. If that's the case, veteran Joe Flacco will be under center until Wilson can return.
