QB Sam Darnold: 12.3% rostered (ESPN)

Darnold has found his rhythm in recent weeks as the Jets finally become healthy for what feels like the first time this season. On Sunday against Washington, Darnold had a career day with 293 yards passing and four touchdowns.

With matchups against Oakland, Cincinnati, and Miami on the horizon, Darnold might not be a bad option for the playoff push. Look for him to continue to develop in Adam Gase’s system, that is if Gase sticks around after 2019.

There is always risk because it’s the Jets, but the schedule is too good to ignore.
