Bailey Zappe preparing to start in Week 13

Bailey Zappe is preparing to start at quarterback for the Patriots in Week 13 versus the Los Angeles Chargers.

Fantasy Impact: Barring anything unexpected over the next two days of practice, Zappe will get the nod over Mac Jones this Sunday. It will be Zappe’s first start of the season and the third of his career. He made two starts (four appearances) as a rookie last season, going 2-0 with a 70.7 percent completion rate, 781 yards, five touchdowns, and three interceptions. While almost nothing in New England inspires optimism at the moment, Zappe has exhibited a lively arm and could benefit from a favorable matchup versus Los Angeles. He ranks as a fringe top-24 fantasy option in Week 13.
