Mark Sanchez Fantasy Stats

Despite starting a game for the Washington Redskins in 2018, quarterback Mark Sanchez has retired from the NFL and will move into a broadcasting role with ESPN. While Sanchez was never an elite quarterback, he did lead the Jets on some long playoff runs early in his career. He's likely still rostered in some dynasty leagues, but it's now safe to drop Sanchez in all formats.

Washington Redskins quarterback Mark Sanchez will make his first start since 2015 on Sunday against the Giants. In doing so he will become the third quarterback this season to captain a run-first offense battered by injuries and nearly devoid of reliable or consistent pass-catchers. Moreover, Sanchez was only signed by the Redskins on Nov. 19, giving him all of three weeks to familiarize himself with their playbook. Perhaps Jordan Reed and Chris Thompson benefit from check-downs, but as for Sanchez and the rest of the pass offense, this is not the time to get bold.

Washington Redskins quarterback Mark Sanchez became the second backup in three weeks to take the field on a moment's notice following a season-ending injury to Colt McCoy. Sanchez would go on to complete 13 of 21 passes for exactly 100 yards in Monday's potentially crippling defeat at the hands of the Eagles. The Redskins are still alive in the playoff hunt, but those hopes are fading rapidly. No matter who the team winds up bringing in to back him up, Sanchez won't have a long leash.

Free-agent quarterback Mark Sanchez has been suspended for the first four games of the 2018 season after testing positive for performance-enhancing drugs, according to a source. Sanchez spent last year languishing with the Bears but didn't even see any time on the field, and he hasn't started a game since 2015. Somebody could give Sanchez a chance in 2018, but it seems unlikely.

Free-agent quarterback Mark Sanchez is a possibility for the Seattle Seahawks, according to a source. Sanchez has a couple 3,000-yard seasons under his belt and led the Jets to two straight AFC title games, but he has bombed out in the NFL since and didn't play at all in 2017. The Seahawks are looking for Russell Wilson insurance after they released Trevone Boykin because of his off-field issues. Sanchez has zero fantasy value at this point.

Chicago Bears quarterback Mark Sanchez, who is currently sidelined with a minor knee injury, remains the favorite to open the season as the backup to Mike Glennon, not first-round pick Mitchell Trubisky. The Bears are preaching patience with the second overall pick. Trubisky thinks he's made a lot of progress while running the second-team offense during organized team activities. The young QB is also working to correct some of his footwork issues from college. Trubisky was drafted to be the long-term franchise quarterback in Chicago, but he won't be immediately thrust into the spotlight, with Glennon a serviceable stopgap signal caller in the meantime. If things start off poorly early with Glennon, though, the Bears may not have much of a choice but to let Trubisky develop on the job. Only consider the North Carolina product a fantasy option in dynasty and keeper leagues in 2017.

Chicago Bears quarterback Mark Sanchez suffered a left knee injury Tuesday in practice and will be out for the rest of organized team activities and mini-camp. However, he's expected to be back for training camp. Sanchez is buried on the depth chart behind Mike Glennon and rookie Mitch Trubisky, and he may lose a spot to Connor Shaw now.
