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.

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.

Zach Wilson -- benched in each of the past two seasons, most recently in late November in favor of Tim Boyle, who was released yesterday -- has been named the Jets' starting quarterback for Sunday's game vs. the Texans.

Wilson should be avoided in all fantasy formats wherever possible, no matter how deep the league is. Garrett Wilson should receive a small boost, but still remains a WR2.

Tim Boyle, the No. 3 quarterback who became the starter after the Jets benched Zach Wilson, will be released by the Jets, according to Josina Anderson of CBS Sports.

The Jets also will be signing quarterback Brett Rypien from the Seattle practice squad.

There is no update on who the Jets plan to start this week. There are conflicting reports about the team wanting to go back to Wilson but Wilson being reluctant to play. With Boyle out of the picture and Rypien perhaps needing more time to get up to speed, it could mean Siemian gets the nob. We'll likely know more by later in the week, but it probably goes without saying no one is really a good option outside of desperation plays in deeper two-QB or superflex leagues and dynasty leagues.

Robert Saleh says he's not ready to name the Jets' starting QB for Week 14, and going back to Zach Wilson is among the options.

Needless to say, this situation is a bit of a mess. Pelissero shared a post from Andrew Siciliano where Saleh said, "Let's be clear, if [Wilson] were reluctant to play, he wouldn't be here." But from Wilson's standpoint, who could blame him if there was any truth to the story from The Athletic. Be sure to monitor the situation, but whoever is named the starter would only have deeper league, two QB or superflex value.

The Jets want to make a switch at QB. The team is leaning towards Zach Wilson to take over, but he is reluctant to stepping back in.

Russini went on to say the team is discussing the next step to take. With Wilson not wanting to go back in, and the team not seeing much more from Boyle or Siemian this past week, the Jets may need to hit the waiver wire to find their next QB. The Jets sit at 4-8, and while they are still alive, they need to win-out and find a lot of help along the way.

Tim Boyle will start for the Jets on Black Friday against the Dolphins, according to multiple reports.

Boyle relieved Wilson this past week but went 7-for-14 for 33 yards and an INT against the Bills. The Jets are hoping any kind of spark can keep them alive long enough to get Aaron Rodgers back this season. Boyle saw one game last year going 2-for-8 for 33 yards with two INTs for the Bears in Week 18. In 2021, Boyle got some time with the Lions starting three games but losing all three. He threw for three TDs in those contests but also had six INTs. For now, Boyle should only be considered it deeper leagues that start two QBs.

Aaron Rodgers’ goal is to return in mid-December, he told Melissa Stark.

This would be an incredible recovery and in time for a possible playoff push for the Jets, Garafolo's post went on to say. Rodgers has been hinting at a return for a while, but this will obviously depend on the Jets being in the playoff picture. The Jets are currently 4-5 on the season and are certainly still alive. They are a game out of the Wild Card, not getting into all the possible tiebreakers. Currently the Texans are 5-4 and in the final of three Wild Card spots. The Jets will play the Bills, Dolphins, Falcons and Texans up to Dec. 10.
