- This is the first time the Broncos have opened the season with two double-digit point wins since 2013.
- Just 20% of the Jets' passing plays have resulted in a first down, the lowest rate in the league. League average is 34.8%.
- The Jets lead the league in sacks plus turnovers offensively (15).
- Zach Wilson has been pressured on 50.0% of his dropbacks and has been hit or sacked on 29.3% of his dropbacks, the highest rates in the league.
Quarterback
Teddy Bridgewater: Bridgewater has been a strong fantasy asset to open the season, finishing as the QB14 (20.5 points) and the QB11 (21.2 points) to open the season. Those games have come against the Giants and Jaguars, but in his first start at home, the Jets are no daunting opponent, either. The Jets have allowed a 70.7% completion rate (24th), but have held their own with 7.1 yards per pass attempt (14th) against Sam Darnold and Mac Jones. A lot comes from Jones just not having to do much last week as they allowed 19.1 points to Darnold in Week 1. If you picked up Bridgewater as an early-season streamer, stay on the train for another fringe QB1 week.
