Signs Point To Mac Jones Starting In Week 12

Signs Point To Mac Jones Starting In Week 12

12 months ago

Signs continue to point to New England Patriots quarterback Mac Jones starting on Sunday for the Week 12 matchup against the New York Giants, but as of Friday, the players still had not been told which quarterback would make the start this weekend. Jones and Bailey Zappe split QB repetitions at practice during the week after a bye in Week 11, and Jones reportedly looked better. The 25-year-old appears likely to make the start on Sunday, but he'll most likely be on an extremely short leash and could be pulled early in favor of Zappe if he picks up where he left off in Week 10 in the loss to the Indianapolis Colts in Germany. At best, Jones is a low-end QB2 in superflex leagues and is in danger of losing the job at any moment if he continues to make poor decisions and make game-changing turnovers.
