Team news: Buffalo Bills | Page 10

With the Jets preparing for Mike White to start, coach Robert Saleh announces that Zach Wilson will be the backup QB. A promotion back to the game day roster.

The Jets offense has been better with White under center but the wins haven't necessarily come. The expectations are White will start this week in a nice matchup against the Lions, but Wilson does have the draft capital so it's not a surprise he's creeping back up the depth chart. White is also dealing with a rib injury. Wilson's climb could be more about Flacco struggling in relief of White this past week against the Bills.

Mike Tomlin said if QB Kenny Pickett (concussion protocol) is "able to work, we'll work him. If not, we'll get Mitch Trubisky and Mason Rudolph ready." He said when dealing with concussion protocol, you take it day-to-day.

Don't expect the Steelers to rush back Pickett to the field as he's dealing with his second concussion this season. Trubisky would likely draw the start if Pickett can't go. The Steelers are at the Panthers in Week 15.

Mike White is dealing with a rib injury after he was rocked throughout the Jets’ 20-12 loss at Buffalo, including being forced to leave twice because of a pair of particularly rough — but legal — hits. He went to the hospital after the game for precautionary exams, was cleared and flew home with the team.

Coach Robert Saleh said White’s rib injury will make him day to day, but he’s “hopeful” he’ll start Sunday against Detroit. White is planning to be under center with the Jets (7-6) trying to continue their playoff push.

“I’m going to prepare as such,” White said. “I feel like I can play. I feel like I’m ready to roll.”

White added from the story, “I feel good. I mean, I don’t feel like 100 bucks because I just played a football game. But, nah, I feel good.” Seems like White will be good to go for Week 15, but of course keep an eye on his practice status this week. He's got a potential high-scoring matchup with the Lions. He's played well since taking over for Wilson and has brought fantasy relevance to players like Wilson and Moore.

Mike White is day to day with a rib injury, according to Jets head coach Robert Saleh. He says they’re still gathering information on his injury.

Related Players: Joe Flacco, Zach Wilson

We're not even sure if Zach Wilson is the immediate backup right now, but even a shift to Joe Flacco would be a downgrade for the offense and corresponding fantasy pieces. We'll keep an eye on White throughout the week.

Steelers QB Kenny Pickett is in the concussion protocol and is out for the remainder of Sunday's game against the Ravens.

Mitch Trubisky is back under center for the Steelers. Pickett was trying to escape a sack, then took a hard hit and eventually did take a sack. Now it's Trubisky against the Ravens after Pickett threw just one pass today.

Browns WR Amari Cooper is questionable to play Sunday against the Bengals due to a hip injury.

It looked like Cooper was hitting his stride with the Cleveland offense before Deshaun Watson came in and cratered the passing game in Week 13. If Cooper is out in Week 14, Watson will be working on getting his rhythm back with Donovan Peoples-Jones, Mike Woods, and David Bell as his receiving trio.

Per Costello, Nothing is changing with the Jets QB situation. Status quo, Robert Saleh said. Mike White starter, Joe Flacco backup, and Zach Wilson is inactive.

This should come as no surprise, as Mike White is operating on a completely different planet than Zach Wilson at the moment. Jets fantasy options are thriving in the face of adversity, including Garrett Wilson's 257 receiving yards on 22 targets over the last two weeks. Even though White didn't find the end zone in Week 13, he currently sits as the QB6 over his two starts.

Jets coach Robert Saleh tells reporters that RB Michael Carter (ankle) is doubtful for Sunday.

Related Players: Zonovan Knight, James Robinson, Ty Johnson

Zonovan Knight (2022 UDFA) came out of nowhere last week to parlay his first career snaps into over 100 yards from scrimmage, but it will be interesting to see how the team incorporates the backfield with a full week of planning. Ty Johnson will likely rotate into third downs and James Robinson may finally find some utilization after spending his time since the trade on the bench. Knight would be an iffy RB3 if Carter eventually does miss the game.
