Mark Sanchez officially named starter

Dec 18, 2009

To nobody’s surprise, Jets coach Rex Ryan officially named Mark Sanchez as the starter for Sunday’s game against the Atlanta Falcons.

Sanchez, who suffered a sprained posterior cruciate ligament in his right knee two weeks ago, shared first-team practice reps with Kellen Clemens on Wednesday and Thursday before taking all the snaps Friday.

“Mark will start,” Ryan said Friday. “No great surprise to anybody."

Sanchez will wear two knee braces.

And this was quick: Former Falcons’ standout Devonta Freeman and the Saints now have reached agreement on a one-year deal, per his agent @DrewJRosenhaus. Freeman reunited with his former college teammate, Jameis Winston.

Fantasy Impact:

This is an interesting signing for New Orleans, but Devonta Freeman joins a backfield led by Alvin Kamara with backup Latavius Murray and Dwayne Washington, and Ty Montgomery already vying for playing time. This could be a move to get Kamara more slot time with Michael Thomas out, but for now, Freeman isn't fantasy relevant.
