4 years agoNew York Jets quarterback Sam Darnold (shoulder) is trending toward a third consecutive absence Sunday when his team takes on the Bills, as head coach Adam Gase was not optimistic Monday that his signal-caller would clear the necessary stages to get back on the field. It seems likely that New York will stick with veteran Joe Flacco for the game in the event that Darnold is unavailable, even as the Jets were shut out Sunday by Miami. So long as Flacco is under center, New York’s offense can be targeted by fantasy managers attempting to stream opposing defenses. In Week 8, that will be the Bills Defense. Even upon his return, Darnold will be in a rough spot from a fantasy perspective due to the Jets offensive-line woes and general downturn in production from their skill position players.--Jesse Borek
