New York Jets quarterback Ryan Fitzpatrick led the offense to victory on Sunday, despite playing with torn ligaments in his left hand.

The Jets victory was by no means perfect, and neither was Fitzpatrick. However, the veteran signal caller did enough to get the ball in the hands of the imposing duo of Brandon Marshall and Eric Decker, finding each for a touchdown.
The Jets prevailed over the Jacksonville Jaguars 28-23, as Fitzpatrick racked up 272 yards on a day where the running game couldn't bail him out.
Fantasy impact: Fitzpatrick's injury is something that will have to be monitored throughout the course of the season, but isn't in danger of keeping him out of action in Week 10 against the divisional rival Buffalo Bills.
A report by Newark Star-Ledger Dom Cosentino suggests Fitzpatrick could undergo surgery on the Friday following the Jets’ game, but would be able to play with a protective brace on his surgically repaired hand afterwards.
Fitzpatrick fared well enough with his injury to be in the fringe QB2/QB1 conversation for Week 10, a week that will see Andrew Luck, Matt Ryan and Philip Rivers on byes.
