Mike White to take over for Jets Week 12
New York Jets quarterback Mike White will start Week 12 against the Chicago Bears on Sunday, per head coach Robert Saleh.
What It Means:
White is taking over for a benched Zach Wilson and Joe Flacco will be the backup. He hasn't played since Week 10 of last year, but White will have a great matchup against the Bears on Sunday. Considering how awful Wilson has been, this can be viewed as a modest upgrade for the entire Jets' offense.
White averaged 0.01 Passing Net Expected Points per dropback last season, ranking 30th out of 44 quarterbacks with at least 100 attempts. For context, Wilson is averaging negative-0.06 Passing NEP per dropback this season (30th out of 38). White should benefit from facing a Bears team that has the sixth-worst defense and the fourth-worst pass defense in our adjusted metrics.
