New York Jets head coach Rex Ryan said he "needs a little more time" to decide who will start at quarterback when the Jets take on the Jaguars on Sunday. Ryan said he has confidence in Mark Sanchez, Tim Tebow, and Greg McElroy. Ryan added that he thought the Jets "are in a better situation than a lot of teams."
Rex Ryan won’t name starting QB, none of them are fantasy options
New York Jets coach Rex Ryan declined to name a starting quarterback on Monday, saying he needs more time. We break down the fantasy implications.

McElroy filled in for an ineffective Sanchez in the Jets 7-6 win over the Cardinals on Sunday. McElroy replaced Sanchez because Tim Tebow was inactive with a rib injury. Ryan said Tebow is not 100%, but that he is in the mix to start on Sunday against the Jags.
Fantasy Impact: No matter who the Jets start, they won’t be a strong fantasy option. Sanchez has thrown for 2,436 yards, 12 touchdowns and 13 interceptions through 12 games this season. He threw three interceptions against the Cardinals before being replaced by McElroy. McElroy went five-for-seven for 29 yards with one touchdown in his NFL debut.
Obviously Tim Tebow offers the most upside as a starter due to his running game, but avoid any of the Jets quarterbacks unless you have no other option.
