Saleh said the Jets didn't put Zach Wilson on IR because they believe he'll be able to practice before the Buffalo game.

The Jets think Wilson can practice even if he's not ready to play yet and he wouldn't have been able to practice that week had he gone on IR. White will play on a short week in Week 9, but it sounds like Wilson at least has a chance to play in Week 10 - a tough matchup against the Bills.

Jets HC Robert Saleh announced Sunday that QB Mike White will start for the Jets on Thursday against the Colts.

This comes as absolutely no surprise after White threw for 405 yards and three touchdowns in New York’s big upset of the Bengals. Who would have thought the Jets offense would stay on track, if not look better, with Mike White rather than Zach Wilson? Football is quite the game. It’s a short week for the Jets and Colts in what should be a rather interesting matchup.

Jets QB Mike White will start Week 8 against the Cincinnati Bengals. Josh Johnson will be his back-up as it is unlikely Joe Flacco is active (personal). Flacco will practice Friday.

Unless every QB is taken in your Superflex/Two-QB leagues, do not roster Mike White with any expectations.

The Eagles agreed to trade Flacco to the Jets today, according to Mike Garafolo of NFL Network. The Eagles will get a sixth-round draft pick that can become a fifth-round pick depending on Flacco’s playing time, according to Adam Schefter of ESPN.

Flacco could very well end up starting, especially if Wilson has to miss four weeks. White may get at least one more chance this week until Flacco can get up to speed, but many feel the Jets have needed a veteran influence around Wilson all along. Minshew is now back on the fantasy radar as the backup to Hurts, who has not exactly looked great so far this season. It may not be all that big of a surprise to see Minshew get some time at some point this season.

An MRI confirmed a sprained PCL for Jets’ QB Zach Wilson, who now is expected to be sidelined 2-4 weeks, per source.

White came in and threw a TD pass on his first attempt, something Wilson owners have been waiting on for a couple of weeks. But that was pretty much it, he would add two INTs against the Patriots. White likely isn't going to provide any spark to the Jets offense and the same goes for the skill players playing with White. Fantasy owners should look for other options outside the Jets.

Jets QB Zach Wilson was taken to the locker room Sunday with a knee injury.

Mike White is now in at quarterback. Wilson took a nasty shot to the knee and medical trainers immediately came out into the field. He is questionable to return.

With Swaim out, Blake Jarwin, Dalton Schultz and Rico Gathers could all see targets but aren't necessarily safe plays.
