Sky sportsNFL fantasy football guru Hannah Wilkes helps you navigate the 2021 season in her weekly column, focusing this week on the wonderful world of reserve quarterbacks who took the league by storm on Sunday.

In the middle of the 2021 season, this fact did not become more evident.

Four spare quarterbacks were brought in for their teams on Sunday; Mike White heard New York Jets fans chanting his name (and was obviously a little confused by it all); Geno Smith has his first starting lineup win since 2014; Cooper Rush touched Amari Cooper in the Dallas Cowboys’ victory over the Minnesota Vikings to see NFL trivia fans dizzy; and then New Orleans Saints QB third squad Trevor Simian entered to tackle the reigning Super Bowl champion Tampa Bay Buccaneers.

White’s line of characteristics is impressive; he is only the second quarterback since 1950 to score over 400 yards in his first career start (Cam Newton was the first). He helped the Jets break their first quarter zero streak by leading them to a touchdown in their first leg. He caught a two-point try.

Head coach Robert Salah has reacted to the support of Jets fans by stating that “anything can happen” in regards to who their starter comes forward, while veteran Joe Flacco, who was brought in from the Philadelphia Eagles after starter Zach Wilson’s injury, is likely , regrets not received.

Ahead of week nine, Jordan Love is set to join the backup party. He is playing for the Green Bay Packers against the Kansas City Chiefs after Aaron Rogers tested positive for Covid-19 and, according to league protocols, cannot return until November 13th.

The ensuing discussion of what this timeline means in regards to Rogers’ vaccine status is best tweeted, but Love’s first start adds another intriguing chapter to the soap opera that has been unfolding since he was picked in the first round of the draft. back in 2020.

If Love plays well, the Packers know they’ve made a tough choice. If Love plays poorly, Rogers wants to leave Green Bay anyway.

Yes, I’m not sure who are the winners and losers here, other than the leaders. With their own QB star Patrick Mahomes fighting this season, not having to keep up with the MVP-led offense is just an advantage.
