Mac Jones Fantasy

New England Patriots quarterback Mac Jones (ankle) is in the facility and has been participating in game-planning ahead of Week 4 against the Green Bay Packers, according to sources. Jones has told multiple teammates not to count him out of this weekend's game and is still operating as if he has a chance to play despite suffering a severe high-ankle sprain in the Week 3 loss to the Baltimore Ravens. The 24-year-old second-year QB has missed both practices this week, though, so it's highly unlikely he'll suit up, and the expectation is that he'll miss multiple games. Veteran backup Brian Hoyer is expected to start under center against the Packers, so fantasy managers should downgrade all of the Pats' offensive skill players in fantasy.

New England Patriots head coach Bill Belichick said that quarterback Mac Jones (ankle) has made a lot of progress in the last 24 to 48 hours, and the team is taking it day-to-day. Veteran QB Brian Hoyer will get the start in Week 4 against the Green Bay Packers in the likely event that Jones can't go. Jones suffered a severe left high-ankle sprain in the Week 3 loss to the Baltimore Ravens, so he's likely to miss multiple games at the very least. The 36-year-old Hoyer has plenty of familiarity with Belichick's offense, but he will be a downgrade for all of New England's offensive skill players for however long Jones is sidelined. The Packers defense/special teams will be a popular starting option this week.

New England Patriots quarterback Mac Jones (ankle) is dealing with what doctors diagnosed as a severe high-ankle sprain that would cause many to have surgery, according to sources. He's likely to miss multiple games. Jones and the Patriots are still discussing his options and the best plan moving forward. Fantasy managers in superflex QB leagues need to brace for a worst-case scenario moving forward. All of New England's offensive skill players will take a hit to their fantasy value as well with the 36-year-old veteran Brian Hoyer likely to take over as the starter under center, beginning with a Week 4 matchup against the Green Bay Packers, a team that just held Tom Brady and the Buccaneers to 12 points in Week 3.
