Mac Jones Likely To Start In Week 12

Mac Jones Likely To Start In Week 12

12 months ago

New England Patriots quarterback Mac Jones has struggled in his third NFL season, completing 65.4% of his passes for 2,031 yards, 10 touchdowns, and 10 interceptions. He was benched for Bailey Zappe for the team's last drive against the Indianapolis Colts in Week 10, which led to speculation that Zappe could be named the starter after the team's Week 11 bye. However, Ben Belford-Peltzman of Patriotsbeat.com reports that Jones is likely to start in Week 12 against the New York Giants. Zappe is expected to be on standby if Jones continues to struggle. Jones is not a viable fantasy quarterback in single-QB leagues. Zappe should be picked up in deep superflex and two-QB leagues in case he's named the starter down the stretch.
