Jets Standing By Zach Wilson Moving Forward

The New York Jets aren't giving up on former first-round quarterback Zach Wilson, with head coach Robert Saleh saying the organization will do everything "through hell or high water" to maximize his potential. Wilson was benched twice in his second NFL season and will finish the year as a healthy scratch as the No. 3 QB in Week 18. "I think Zach needs to get away, read a book and figure that out," Saleh said. The former second overall pick really struggled in 2022 after missing the first three games with a knee injury, but he's only 23 years old and has time to turn things around. However, the Jets aren't committing to Wilson as their starter in 2023, even with Mike White and Joe Flacco set to be free agents this upcoming offseason. Focusing on fundamentals such as footwork and balance could be two big points of emphasis entering next season. Even if Wilson wins the starting job, fantasy managers will likely be ignoring him in single-QB leagues.
