Connor McGovern Fantasy

New York Jets center Connor McGovern (knee) avoided an ACL injury in the Week 16 win over the Jacksonville Jaguars, but he is going to be out for a while, according to head coach Robert Saleh. Later in the day, the Jets put him on Injured Reserve, along with tight end Trevon Wesco (knee). McGovern will seek a second opinion on his MCL injury, and it's unknown if he'll need to undergo surgery. With only two games left in the regular season, McGovern is unlikely to return this year. McGovern started all 15 games for Gang Green this year and was ranked by Pro Football Focus as the No. 10 center with a 75.8 grade. His absence to close out the year will be bad news for rookie quarterback Zach Wilson.

The New York Jets are signing former Denver Broncos center Connor McGovern to a three-year, $27 million deal on Tuesday, according to a source. The deal includes $18 million in guarantees. McGovern was drafted in the sixth round by the Denver Broncos and has made 36 starts in his 47 games played over the last three seasons. The Jets are trying to improve their weak offensive line, but they've so far made some underwhelming moves in free agency as they whiff on some of their targets. Look for them to continue working to improve their line to give help to quarterback Sam Darnold and running back Le'Veon Bell.
