Jets Trading For Joe Flacco
3 years agoThe New York Jets are acquiring quarterback Joe Flacco from the Philadelphia Eagles on Monday with rookie first-rounder Zach Wilson (knee) out of action for the next two to four weeks, according to sources. ESPN's Adam Schefter reports that the Jets are sending a conditional sixth-round pick to the Eagles that can turn into a fifth-rounder based on playing time for Flacco. The 36-year-old veteran never saw the field in Philly this year, and he'll return to New York after starting four games for Gang Green in 2020. The Jets are in dire straits with Wilson out, and fantasy managers need to downgrade all of their offensive weapons until Wilson returns. Mike White replaced Wilson in the Week 7 loss to the New England Patriots and went 20-for-32 for 202 yards, one touchdown and two interceptions. Whoever is starting under center in Week 8 against the Cincinnati Bengals should be avoided in fantasy.
