Mark Sanchez named Jets Week 14 starter

Dec 05, 2012

Three days after Rex Ryan benched Mark Sanchez, the head coach named the embattled signal caller his starter for Sunday’s game against the Jaguars and left little doubt that this was probably the biggest decision of his head coaching career to this point.

“It was a decision that I feel great about,” Ryan said before practice on Wednesday. “I got a lot of opinions. I had conversations with a lot of different people, but at the end of the day, it’s my decision. I’m definitely comfortable with the decision. I’m actually looking forward to seeing Mark play.”

“It’s one where obviously I have to get this decision right,” Ryan added. “And I believe I have.”

Fantasy Impact:

Greg McElroy and Tim Tebow will remain on the bench, at least to start this one. There's no fantasy value to be found in any Jets QB.

“I will be playing on Sunday. Very excited, can’t pass up playing the Packers. I will be out there for sure.”

George Kittle says he’s good to go for Sunday

Related Players: Eric Saubert

Fantasy Impact:

Kittle returns to a great matchup against a Packers defense that ranks 26th in TE aFPA. He should be fired up as a high-end TE1 once again.

Per Bears head coach Matt Eberflus: Ryan Bates remains in the concussion protocol. Elijah Hicks (ankle) and D'Andre Swift (groin) won't practice.

Teven Jenkins will be limited.

Related Players: Roschon Johnson, Travis Homer

Fantasy Impact:

This is definitely a situation to keep an eye on, as Johnson would have a huge workload if Swift were to miss Week 12. Homer has three rush attempts and zero targets on the year.
