The Jets are trading QB Zach Wilson to the Denver Broncos. The deal: Wilson and a 7th to Denver for a 6th.

It's hard to picture this prohibiting the team from taking a QB in the NFL Draft but it certainly insulates them a little bit if they end up unable to move up where they want. Wilson's dynasty SuperFlex value will at least improve in the short term.

Wide receiver Lil'Jordan Humphrey is returning to the Broncos on a one-year deal.

Humphrey was sneakily second on the team in slot snaps (154) last season, behind Jerry Jeudy (291), who is now in Cleveland. Marvin Mims figures to take at least some of those snaps, assuming the team cuts back on his "go" routes and actively incorporates him into the offense. Humphrey can be passed over in fantasy drafts.

The Broncos are strongly considering having QB Russell Wilson sit for the final two games, preserving financial flexibility for the offseason.

Wilson has $37M in 2025 salary that vests in March of 2024, and if he suffered a serious injury, it would complicate matters.

Well this is quite the bombshell. The Broncos have a very good fantasy matchup coming up this weekend, as Wilson was in-line for a face-off against a pedestrian Chargers defense. Stidham offers a decent top-18 option, if he were to get the nod. We'll keep an eye on this story for the rest of the week.

Jets QB Zach Wilson will not play Thursday night at Browns, per Saleh.

Related players: Trevor Siemian

Wilson wasn't expected to be able to go thanks to a short week for the Jets. Siemian threw for 217 yards and a TD as the Jets let a big lead against the Commanders get away from them. Siemian seems to be in line to get the start against the Brown in Week 17 on Thursday night.

Jets’ QB Trevor Siemian will start Sunday vs. the Commanders.

Zach Wilson has been declared out with a concussion for Sunday, so Siemian and Rypien will be the options for the Jets in Week 16. Garrett Wilson continues to play in quarterback purgatory, but his talent still makes him a WR2 option.

If and when he comes out of concussion protocol, Robert Saleh said Zach Wilson be the team's starting QB.

Saleh tells reporters Wilson could start if he doesn't practice, which could be the case depending on when he would get cleared from concussion protocol. The post went on to say if Wilson doesn't pass protocol, Siemian will start. There continues to be rumors Rodgers will get cleared to play, but reports have surfaced that those in the organization see no reason to put Rodgers on the field this season.

Jets quarterback Zach Wilson suffered a concussion during Sunday's loss to the Dolphins.

First, it was dehydration. Then, it was a head injury that wasn't a concussion. Ultimately, the Jets ruled out Wilson with a concussion. It was a wild sequence of events during an ugly day for the Jets, losing 30-0 and seeing their playoff hopes officially come to an end. It's possible we may have seen the last of Wilson in a Jets uniform. The Jets host the Commanders on Christmas Eve.

Jets QB Zach Wilson was ruled out of Sunday's game against the Dolphins with a head injury.

The key point here is that the Jets say Wilson is not in concussion protocol. Initially, the team said Wilson had a case of dehydration. This is certainly a weird story but the bottom line is the Jets' season is coming to an end as they were down 24-0 at the half and showed no signs of life. Trevor Siemian is now in at quarterback. You can also probably forget about seeing Aaron Rodgers again this season.

Broncos ruled out LB Nik Bonitto (knee) and TE Greg Dulcich (hamstring) for Saturday night's game vs. the Lions.

Dulcich was likely off fantasy radars for this week, but it would have been nice to see him suit up for consideration as the fantasy playoffs continue. No Broncos TEs need to be started this week.

Is it possible a breakup between the Jets and Zach Wilson is already set in stone?

Jets head coach Robert Saleh was asked Monday about a weekend report by the Deseret News, Wilson’s hometown newspaper in Utah, that said the team told the 24-year-old quarterback he’ll be traded during the offseason, with Wilson and Saleh agreeing to part ways when the former No. 2 overall pick was benched last month.

Saleh did not deny the report in his response.

“My conversations with [Wilson] are to do everything he can to get ready to play a football game,” Saleh said Monday. “As far as all that other stuff is concerned, those are things I will leave for Joe [Douglas].”

There is a link to the story in this piece. The report makes sense, especially after Wilson was benched and an Athletic report said Wilson was reluctant to go back on the field after the team went with Tim Boyle but eventually cut him. The Post story said Rodgers, who tore his Achilles in Week 1, is expected to return to the Jets next season. Wilson could probably use a fresh start on another team but it may not be a starting role.
