Wilson is expected to compete for a roster spot with the Saints this preseason. Unless the team trades Spencer Rattler, Wilson probably won't matter whatsoever for Fantasy purposes. Fun fact: The Saints are Wilson's fourth team.

Saints' Zach Wilson: Plays second half after Rattler starts
Rotowire
Wilson completed nine of 12 passes for 93 yards while rushing once for minus-1 yard in Friday's 27-24 preseason win over the Cowboys.
Wilson played the second half of Friday's preseason finale after Spencer Rattler played the first half. Rattler started two of the Saints' three preseason games and looks like the favorite to win the backup job behind Tyler Shough. Wilson had 14 more passing yards than Rattler on Friday and neither one threw a touchdown pass, but Rattler scored an eight-yard rushing TD.

Saints' Zach Wilson: Throws interception against Rams
Rotowire
Wilson completed six of 12 passes for 55 yards, zero touchdowns and one interception while adding four carries for 19 yards during the Saints' 34-0 loss to the Rams on Saturday.
Wilson was named the starter for Saturday's exhibition contest while Tyler Shough observed the game from the sidelines. Wilson failed to lead the offense into the Rams' territory in three of four series, and his short pass intended for Bub Means early in the second quarter was picked off by Al'zillion Hamilton, leading to a one-yard rushing touchdown by Stetson Bennett nine plays later. Spencer Rattler was statistically better than Wilson after taking over in the second half, with the former leading a drive deep into the red zone before throwing a pick-six, and it appears as though the backup job behind Shough is far from a done deal. Wilson will have the opportunity to secure the QB2 job in the Saints' preseason finale against the Cowboys on Friday.

Saints' Zach Wilson: Starting in Saturday's preseason game
Rotowire
Wilson will be the Saints' starting quarterback against the Rams in Saturday's preseason contest, Matthew Paras of The New Orleans Times-Picayune reports.
Tyler Shough will not play in Saturday's exhibition contest, and the Saints have opted to go with Wilson as the starter, with Spencer Rattler serving as the backup and Hunter Dekkers in the mix for snaps late in the game. Wilson played well in the Saints' preseason opener against the Jaguars, as he completed 11 of 16 passes for 145 yards and a touchdown in a 24-20 loss.

Saints' Zach Wilson: Signing with Saints
Rotowire
The Saints are in line to sign Wilson, Nick Underhill of NewOrleans.Football reports.
Per Adam Schefter of ESPN, the quarterback -- who spent last season with the Dolphins -- will join the Saints on a one-year deal. Taken second overall by the Jets in the 2021 NFL Draft, Wilson joins a QB room in New Orleans that features second-year player Tyler Shough as the incumbent starter. Wilson last started a regular-season game in 2023, but prior to that, the 26-year-old drew 33 starts during his first three years with New York. He'll give the team another signal-caller with NFL starting experience to turn to, if needed.

Dolphins' Zach Wilson: Free agency looms
Rotowire
Wilson completed six of 11 pass attempts for 32 yards across four regular-season appearances (zero starts) with the Dolphins in 2025. He also carried the ball three times for one yard.
Wilson inked a one-year, $6 million deal with Miami in March of 2025 to presumably provide the team with developmental upside as the backup to Tua Tagovailoa. Upon Tagovailoa being benched Week 16, however, it was rookie Quinn Ewers (knee) who got the chance to audition his talents and start the Dolphins' final three games, an indication that Wilson isn't in consideration as part of the team's future plans. Wilson is now set for free agency, and it seems likely he won't re-sign with the team, though Tagovailoa has stated he's open to playing elsewhere in 2026, as Marcel Louis-Jacques of ESPN reports.

Dolphins' Zach Wilson: Promoted to No. 2 QB
Rotowire
Wilson will back up Tua Tagovailoa during Sunday's game against the Falcons, with Quinn Ewers serving as the emergency No. 3 QB.
Wilson and Ewers switched roles last week, but the former had been the primary backup for the first six weeks of the season. Wilson has appeared in only one game this season, completing five of eight passes for 32 yards and rushing once for three yards across nine offensive snaps in Week 1.

Dolphins' Zach Wilson: Demoted to emergency QB
Rotowire
Wilson (coach's decision) is inactive for Sunday's game against the Browns but will serve as the emergency third QB.
Quinn Ewers had been promoted to the No. 2 QB behind Tua Tagovailoa, sending Wilson down the depth chart. Wilson technically will be inactive but can enter the contest if Tagovailoa and Ewers are unable to return. The only snaps Tagovailoa has missed this season came in Week 1 when the Colts were blowing out the Dolphins.

Dolphins' Zach Wilson: Another mixed performance
Rotowire
Wilson completed nine of 13 passes for 80 yards, no touchdowns and no interceptions in Saturday's 14-6 preseason win over the Jaguars.
Wilson followed Tua Tagovailoa into the game and led two lengthy possessions. The first stalled after Wilson took a sack, but he then tallied long completions of 21 and 17 yards on the following drive, which concluded in a rushing score. Wilson appears likely to head into the regular season as Tagovailoa's backup.

Dolphins' Zach Wilson: In line to back up Tagovailoa
Rotowire
Wilson has agreed to a one-year contract with the Dolphins, Adam Schefter of ESPN reports.
Per Cameron Wolfe of NFL Network, the Dolphins prioritized adding a steady backup QB option after the issues the team experienced last season when Tua Tagovailoa missed time. In adding Wilson, the No. 2 overall pick in the 2021 NFL Draft, Miami gains an experienced alternative with a degree of upside to work behind Tagovailoa in 2025. According to Schefter, Wilson's pact is a $6 million, fully-guaranteed deal that could grow to $10 million.

Broncos' Zach Wilson: Doesn't play in 2024
Rotowire
Wilson did not appear in a single regular-season game in 2024.
Wilson spent the past three seasons with the Jets, who selected him with the second overall pick of the 2021 NFL Draft. He was traded to the Broncos in late April and was given a chance to earn the starting quarterback job in training camp, which he and Jarrett Stidham eventually lost to rookie Bo Nix. Wilson served as the Broncos' emergency quarterback and did not see the field during the regular season or in Denver's lone playoff game against Buffalo. The Broncos opted to decline Wilson's team option for 2025, which means he will enter the offseason as an unrestricted free agent, though he'll likely end up serving as the No. 2 quarterback at best wherever he ends up signing.

Broncos' Zach Wilson: Emergency QB for Week 7
Rotowire
Wilson (coach's decision) will serve as Denver's emergency third quarterback for Thursday's game against New Orleans, Aric DiLalla of the Broncos' official site reports.
Wilson will once again serve as the emergency quarterback for the Broncos for Thursday's contest. He will only see the field if both starter Bo Nix and backup Jarrett Stidham are removed from the game due to injury.

Broncos' Zach Wilson: Shines in preseason finale
Rotowire
Wilson completed 16 of 25 passes for 251 yards and two touchdowns in Sunday's 38-12 preseason win over the Cardinals. He added 22 rushing yards and a TD on two carries.
Jarrett Stidham led the offense for Denver's first possession and got the team into the end zone, but Wilson played the rest of the way and had plenty of success, finding Nate Adkins for a one-yard score in the second quarter and Brandon Johnson for a 46-yard TD strike in the fourth. Wilson also added a one-yard touchdown plunge of his own just before halftime. Despite the strong performance, the former Jet will still likely head into the season as the Broncos' No. 3 quarterback, with 2024 12th overall pick Bo Nix having already been named the Week 1 starter.

Broncos' Zach Wilson: Struggles in spring practices
Rotowire
Wilson failed to impress at spring practices, according to Nick Kosmider of The Athletic.
Kosmider suggests Wilson seemed to have more trouble than rookie Bo Nix with the adjustment to coach Sean Payton's offense. While Wilson still has time to make an impression during training camp and the preseason, it sounds like he's currently positioned to be the No. 3 QB or even released. The Broncos acquired him in April for a late-round pick swap, trading down from No. 203 to 256 while taking on only half of Wilson's $5.5 million salary from the Jets.

Jets' Zach Wilson: May stay if no trade happens
Rotowire
Jets chairman Woody Johnson suggested Monday that if the Jets don't trade Wilson, they intend to keep the QB, Rich Cimini of ESPN.com reports.
That said, Cimini notes that the Jets remain motivated to deal Wilson, who last month was granted permission to speak to other teams about a possible trade. Given that Tyrod Taylor was recently signed by the Jets to back up Aaron Rodgers (Achilles), a change of scenery would no doubt benefit Wilson, the No. 2 overall pick in the 2021 NFL Draft. In three seasons since then, the 24-year-old has compiled a 12-21 record as a starter and thrown more interceptions (25) than TD passes (23).

Jets' Zach Wilson: Moves to injured reserve
Rotowire
Wilson (concussion) was placed on injured reserve Saturday.
It's an uneventful end to what could realistically be Wilson's final season with the Jets. The third-year quarterback missed the final three games of the 2023 campaign due to a concussion, but given how Wilson was yo-yo'd in and out of the starting lineup since Week 11, it's fair to question if the team had whittled away the 24-year-old's confidence to the point of no return. With Aaron Rodgers (Achilles) set to start next season, it's unclear what the future holds for Wilson in a Jets uniform.

Jets' Zach Wilson: Won't play in season finale
Rotowire
Head coach Robert Saleh said Wednesday that Wilson hasn't cleared the NFL's concussion protocol and won't play in Sunday's season finale against the Patriots, Eric Allen of the Jets' official site reports.
With Wilson unavailable for Week 18, Trevor Siemian will make a third straight start under center. Meanwhile, Saleh was non-committal Wednesday regarding Wilson's future with the franchise, noting that he believed that the signal-caller has a long career ahead of him, but whether that will be with the Jets or elsewhere remains to be seen. In any case, the No. 2 overall pick in the 2021 NFL Draft finishes up his 2023 campaign with 2,271 passing yards and 211 rushing yards to go along with eight touchdowns and seven interceptions in 12 games.

Jets' Zach Wilson: Could miss multiple games
Rotowire
Wilson (concussion), who has already been ruled out for Sunday's game against the Commanders, is unlikely to be available for the Jets' Thursday night game against the Browns in Week 17, Rich Cimini of ESPN.com reports. "It does make it a challenge that it's a Thursday game," head coach Robert Saleh said Friday, regarding Wilson's potential Week 17 availability. "He's got to clear some hurdles over the weekend. It's going to be one of those where we'll see."
Due to the short turnaround for Week 17, Wilson will have just four additional days to clear the five-step concussion protocol after Sunday's game. Trevor Siemian will make his first start of the season Sunday against the Commanders. Siemian may be likely to start again Thursday regardless of how he fares against Washington, though Brett Rypien could also be an option after signing with the Jets earlier in December.

Wilson (concussion) won't play Sunday against the Commanders.

Jets' Zach Wilson: Remains in protocol Wednesday
Rotowire
Wilson (concussion) won't practice Wednesday and remains in the NFL's concussion protocol, Brian Costello of the New York Post reports.
Head coach Robert Saleh said Wednesday that the Jets are "not closing the door yet" on Wilson being available for Sunday's game against the Commanders, per Rich Cimini of ESPN.com. If he's able to clear the five-step protocol, Wilson would be in line to start against Washington. Should Wilson sit out the Week 16 contest, however, Trevor Siemian -- who replaced the third-year signal-caller in the first half of a 30-0 loss to Miami last Sunday -- would make his first start of 2023.

Jets' Zach Wilson: Remains starter, if cleared
Rotowire
Coach Robert Saleh indicated Monday that if Wilson is able to clear the NFL's concussion protocol ahead of Sunday's game against the Commanders, he'll remain the Jets' starting QB, Rich Cimini of ESPN.com reports.
The report adds that if Wilson is unable to fully advance through the protocol, Trevor Siemian would be in line to start in his place. Meanwhile, per Eric Allen of the Jets' official site, the team has until Wednesday to decide whether to activate Aaron Rodgers (Achilles) from IR. It remains to be seen how the Jets -- who have been eliminated from playoff contention -- will approach the veteran QB's situation, but at this stage Cimini suggests that it seems unlikely Rodgers will see action over New York's final three games.
