Mac Jones Benched, Replaced By Bailey Zappe In Week 10
1 year agoNew England Patriots quarterback Mac Jones was benched with less than two minutes remaining in Sunday's game against the Indianapolis Colts. Jones finishes the game having completed 15 of 20 passes for 170 yards, zero touchdowns, and a costly red-zone interception. While there's no doubt that Jones' recent struggles justify his benching, it was somewhat surprising to see head coach Bill Belichick make the change with the Patriots preparing for a potential game-winning drive, trailing by just four points. Nevertheless, this is a major development heading into New England's bye week. Fantasy managers should prepare for the possibility of Zappe remaining the starting quarterback over Jones when the Patriots face the Giants in Week 12.
