We had a report earlier today that Darnold was back with the Jets and doing much better. It's good news for the Jets and their playmakers. Falk will start Week 3.

The New York Jets suffered another blow at quarterback, announcing Tuesday that Trevor Siemian will be lost for the remainder of the season because of significant ligament damage in his left ankle.

Falk will get the start Sunday against the Patriots. Faulk will be the third different QB to start in three games this season. Some good news, according to the story, is Darnold returned to the Jets' facility and is feeling much better. Best case for Darnold is Week 5 against the Eagles, the story said.

Jets QB Sam Darnold is officially out of Monday’s game against the Browns as he recovers from mononucleosis.

This is just the formal announcement after the diagnosis was revealed earlier in the week. Darnold is expected to miss multiple games. The Jets have their bye in Week 4, so it’s possible Darnold only misses this week and next week against the Patriots, returning potentially in Week 5 against the Eagles. For the time being, Trevor Siemian will take the reins of the Jets offense.

Sam Darnold could miss several weeks with mono.

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.

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."

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.
