Jets WR Robby Anderson (calf) took full practice reps Thursday. Anderson should be fine to play given the full practice reps. He's dealing with a quarterback change since Sam Darnold came down with mono.

Jets QB Sam Darnold (illness) missed practice Thursday. He has mono and is going to be out this week, at least. Trevor Siemian is in at quarterback. He has a career 59.3% completion percentage along with a 30:24 TD-to-INT ratio and a 6.8 YPA. The Jets could be worse off at quarterback, but Darnold's absence certainly hurts.

Sam Darnold could miss several weeks with mono.

Fantasy Impact:

Trevor Siemian will take over while Sam Darnold is out. This is a blow to all the Jets offensive players and a bump to every defense that gets to face Siemian.

Sam Darnold and the Jets offense showing 'significantly higher' pace

The Athletic

Jun 14, 2019 · 1:21 PM EDT

Each time Sam Darnold drops back, he has options on every level of the field. Darnold, who, like Alex Smith, doesn’t receive enough credit for his athleticism, runs his fair share of read options and has the choice of keeping it or not. This puts stress on the defense. The pace is significantly higher than under Chan Gailey, John Morton or Bates.

Also from Connor Hughes of The Athletic, "I came away incredibly impressed with both Darnold’s arm strength and accuracy. He threw three perfect bombs to Robby Anderson (once) and Quincy Enunwa (twice) at different times during the six media-open workouts."

Fantasy Impact:

This faster speed of play is good news for the entire Jets offense when it comes to fantasy ceilings, and most can currently be had for very cheap. Sam Darnold averaged 13.0 fantasy points last season over 13 games and should have no trouble besting that in his sophomore year in the league. He makes for a great value stack in best-ball leagues with WR Robby Anderson and TE Chris Herndon, or a late-round redraft QB that has solid potential to outperform his ADP.
