Justin Fields

Jets QB Brady Cook will start this weekend's game vs. the Saints, HC Aaron Glenn said Wednesday. We assume this means QBs Tyrod Taylor and Justin Fields' injuries will keep them out again -- because there's no reason for the Jets to willingly go back to Cook. He mustered just 176 yards on 5.3 yards per attempt in the Week 15 loss to the Jaguars. RB Breece Hall is the only Jet to crack fantasy-starter territory in our Week 16 rankings.

Cook finished as the overall QB26 last week against the Jaguars. Although this week's opponent fields a more fantasy-friendly defense, Cook remains a low-end QB2 at best. Both QB Tyrod Taylor (groin) and QB Justin Fields (knee) are returning from injury. Jets head coach Aaron Glenn said that the healthier player will be given the No. 2 quarterback role on game day.

Brady Cook will get another start at quarterback for the Jets this week.

Brady Cook will get another start at quarterback for the Jets this week.

Glenn's delayed decision to name a starter could be due to injuries, as Justin Fields (knee) and Tyrod Taylor (groin) were both unable to play in Week 15, or he just wants more time to evaluate his QB room full of backups. Brady Cook threw for 176-1-3 in his first career start against the Jaguars in Week 15, and would get the Saints in Week 16 if he were to be named the starter. The situation is a clear: ?\_(?)_/?
