Fantasy Impact
With Geno Smith on the I.R. the jets need to figure out the back-up QB situation. Petty and Hackenberg are competing for the backup job with Geno Smith (knee) on injured reserve. Petty should eventually win the competition, but the fact that he needs to compete with Hackenberg says something about how the Jets view him. Ryan Fitzpatrick should remain the starter for as long as the Jets are mathematically eligible for the playoffs.
