Fitzpatrick (knee) is considered day to day and will only not start Sunday's game against the Rams if he misses "a significant amount" of practice time this week, ESPN's Rich Cimini reports.
EDGE Analysis
Fitzpatrick suffered a sprained MCL during Sunday's loss to the Dolphins, but he was able to play through any discomfort following a brief exit. While it's unclear how involved he'll be in practice this week, coach Todd Bowles says Fitzpatrick remains his starting quarterback if healthy enough. If Fitzpatrick can't suit up, Bryce Petty is expected to lead New York's offense.

Fitzpatrick suffered a sprained MCL during Sunday's loss to the Dolphins, ESPN's Adam Schefter reports.
EDGE Analysis
Fitzpatrick made a brief exit before ultimately finishing Sunday's game with the injury, which comes just a week before the Jets' bye. Although his ailment isn't considered serious and coach Todd Bowles said Fitzpatrick will start this Sunday against the Rams if he's healthy, that looming rest period, along with Fitzpatrick's poor play overall, should make New York's quarterback situation interesting to monitor as the week unfolds. If Fitzpatrick's MCL sprain impacts his status, Bryce Petty could make his first career start versus a Los Angeles team with quarterback issues of its own.

Fitzpatrick is scheduled to have an MRI on his left knee Monday, according to Rich Cimini of ESPN.
EDGE Analysis
Fitzpatrick briefly left Sunday's game against the Dolphins due to the injury, though he was able to return. He completed 17 of 28 passes for 193 yards and a touchdown, but he threw two interceptions, including one in the end zone late in the fourth quarter. Despite the struggles, head coach Todd Bowles said after the game that Fitzpatrick will start next week against the Rams if he's healthy enough to play. If he's ultimately ruled out, Bryce Petty, who came on for Fitzpatrick on Sunday, could get his first career start.

Fitzpatrick completed 16 of 34 passes for 228 yards and one touchdown during Sunday's 31-28 win over the Browns. He also rushed four times for 13 yards.
EDGE Analysis
Fitzpatrick came very close to getting benched again, as he completed for three of 14 passes for 30 yards in the first half, with the Jets heading to the locker room down 20-7 to the winless Browns. However, Fitzpatrick bounced back very well in the second half, throwing for 189 yards and a touchdown to wideout Quincy Enunwa. While it wasn't a huge performance, Fitzpatrick is at least being much safer with the football, as he's thrown just one interception in the last four games after being picked off 10 times in the first four. Up next is trip to Miami to take on the Dolphins.

Fitzpatrick will return to the Jets' starting quarterback position in the wake of Geno Smith's torn ACL suffered Sunday, ESPN's Rich Cimini reports.
EDGE Analysis
Fitzpatrick reclaims his starting gig less than a week after he was benched following New York's Week 6 loss in Arizona. Given that he started the Jets' first six contests, throwing for just five touchdowns and 11 interceptions in that span, fantasy owners should have a good idea of what to expect from Fitzpatrick. That being said, he responded by completing 9 of 14 passes for 120 yards and a touchdown while not committing a turnover and leading the Jets to a victory after Smith exited Sunday. While he's seemingly been a model of inconsistency since joining New York last year, Fitzpatrick's fantasy value now at least returns to reflect his starting status, even though better options obviously exist.

Fitzpatrick came on in the second quarter of Sunday's game against the Ravens after Geno Smith suffered a knee injury, and he completed nine of 14 passes for 120 yards and a touchdown.
EDGE Analysis
Smith, who took over the starting job earlier this week, completed four of eight passes for 95 yards and a score of his own, though a majority of his production came on a 69-yard touchdown pass to Quincy Enunwa, with most of the yards coming after the catch. Nevertheless, Fitzpatrick appears to have the starting job back, with Smith undergoing tests Monday to determine the severity of his injury.

Fitzpatrick is now the no. 2 quarterback on the depth chart, with Geno Smith officially named the starter Wednesday by head coach Todd Bowles.
EDGE Analysis
Fitzpatrick has struggled considerably this season after holding out this summer, and despite Bowles saying Monday that Fitzpatrick was still his starter, he's backtracked to the point of replacing him with Smith, who hasn't shown anything in his previous starts to make it seem like a fantasy breakout is coming.

Fitzpatrick is expected to be benched in favor of Geno Smith for Sunday's game against the Ravens, according to Adam Schefter of ESPN.
EDGE Analysis
Head coach Todd Bowles said after Monday's loss to the Cardinals that Fitzpatrick was still the starting quarterback, but he backtracked on that statement Tuesday and he's now made the move to go with Smith. While Fitzpatrick has struggled mightily this season, there's little reason to think Smith will be a big upgrade.
