4 years agoNew York Jets quarterback Sam Darnold (shoulder) has been officially ruled out for Sunday’s contest versus Miami, allowing veteran signal caller Joe Flacco to step in for the second consecutive week. Darnold had been optimistic about returning to the field earlier in the week, but his sprained right AC joint has not healed in time. The Jets’ offense is undergoing a major overhaul in the wake of both Darnold’s injury and Le’Veon Bell’s release. The Dolphins Defense should see considerable DFS and season-long appeal, as Flacco, who has limited options at his disposal, does not represent a fantasy asset. New York begins a hellacious three-game stretch next Sunday by facing the Bills, with Kansas City and New England on the horizon. Check back for updates on Darnold’s status as they become available.--Jesse Borek
