Head coach Robert Saleh said Mike White has "a lot of hurdles" to go through with scans this week to see how the ribs have healed, etc. If White can't play, Saleh confirms it would be Zach Wilson as the starter. (not Joe Flacco, etc.).

As expected, Zach Wilson proved to be a dramatic dropoff in talent from White in Week 15, but Garrett Wilson still produced 98 yards on nine targets (four receptions). Both passing touchdowns went to C.J. Uzomah which helped nobody in fantasy, but that feels like a fluke, as the tight end only ran ten routes on the day. Jets fantasy options will still be in consideration next week against the Jaguars.

Colts star RB Jonathan Taylor was diagnosed with a high-ankle sprain sustained in Saturday’s game against the Vikings. He’s still meeting with doctors, but it’s considered highly unlikely that he’ll play again this season.

Bad timing for fantasy managers, but Taylor went down early in Week 15's embarrassing Colts loss. Jackson and Moss would end up splitting time, with each running a very similar amount of routes, while Moss ran 24 times for 81 yards while Jackson went 13-for-55. It won't be easy to trust either option in the fantasy semi-finals.

Colts RB Jonathan Taylor suffered an ankle injury during Saturday's game against the Vikings and is out for the remainder of the day.

Taylor went down in the first quarter and was originally ruled questionable to return. He went to the locker room and has since been ruled out. Deon Jackson has taken over in the Colts backfield and already has a receiving touchdown.

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 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.

After Sunday night’s 54-19 loss to the Cowboys came to an end, Colts interim head coach Jeff Saturday said he didn’t give any thought to benching quarterback Matt Ryan despite his four turnovers on the evening.

On Monday, the prospect of making changes during the bye week came up. Saturday said any changes the 4-8-1 team makes “won’t be about next-year evaluation,” but about giving the team their best chance of winning their final four games.

Saturday added everything is up for review, including the QB position. Ehlinger was not good in his two starts before the team went back to Ryan. Against the Cowboys, Foles was the backup QB.

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.

Even though the Colts, at 4-7-1, realistically have nothing left to play for, they are sticking with veteran Matt Ryan.

“Matt’s going to continue being the guy,” HC Jeff Saturday said after Monday night’s loss to the Steelers.

The story went on to break down the team's struggles at QB: Between the two quarterbacks, the Colts have 11 touchdown passes in 12 games. Ryan, 37, has a passer rating of 86.3. The only season he had a worse rating was his second season (2009) when he had an 80.9. He has 11 touchdowns and 10 interceptions. In two starts, Ehlinger had no touchdowns and an interception.
