FanDuel Fantasy Points Per Game More DFS

Mike White officially named Jets' Week 8 starter

New York Jets quarterback Mike White will start Week 8 against the Cincinnati Bengals, head coach Robert Saleh announced.

What It Means:

Rich Cimini of ESPN reported Tuesday that White would remain the starter until Zach Wilson (knee) is healthy. Saleh said Josh Johnson will be promoted from the practice squad to be the backup. The Jets acquired Joe Flacco from the Philadelphia Eagles at the beginning of the week, but he's apparently not ready to dress yet. Flacco will presumably have an opportunity to start if White struggles.

The Bengals have the league's sixth-best defensive unit at 0.03 Adjusted Defensive Net Expected Points per play. White is the QB29 in numberFire's Week 8 fantasy rankings and our models project him to score 13.2 FanDuel points.
