Patriots' Mac Jones expected to start Week 8 clash with Jets
New England Patriots quarterback Mac Jones will start Week 8's game against the New York Jets, according to ESPN's Field Yates.
What It Means:
Jones reportedly took 90% of the first team reps in practice on Wednesday and will start against the Jets on Sunday. Earlier in the day, Bill Belichick was non-committal on New England's starter, but now it appears Jones will be under center. Bailey Zappe returns to a backup role.
Jones' Week 8 projection includes 221.7 yards, 1.16 touchdowns, 0.72 interceptions, and 15.3 FanDuel points. His salary is $6,600.
