Quarterback Rank: #25
Overall: #175
For fantasy purposes, Sanchez didn't have too bad of a season. He scored touchdowns in all but a game and had 12 multiple touchdown games. Sanchez had a career high 32 total touchdowns. He also completed a career-high 57 percent of his passes for 3,474 yards. He did have fewer than 200 yards eight games and turned the ball over 26 times. His play was erratic for the Jets, going in the tank some games while excelling in others. He has failed to play consistency throughout a full season, making this likely a make or break season for Sanchez. In the last two seasons, Sanchez averages 3,383-passing yards, 26 total touchdowns and 16 interceptions. Sanchez continues to struggle with accuracy issues but is always capable of the big game. He has a pro arm and can make all the throws in the NFL. Sanchez does a good job of moving around the pocket, avoiding the rush and making plays. He has 100-plus rushing yards and at least three rushing touchdowns each of his three seasons in the league.

Sanchez isn't that bad for fantasy teams but his overall play likely gives him a shorter leash this season. He'll need to be more consistent for the Jets. But if he plays a full season, you can expect 3,500 yards and 25 or so touchdowns. Those fantasy numbers make him a low-end No. 1 or top backup for fantasy teams. Don't let all the negativity surrounding him skew your fantasy view of him. He has value. |

| New York Jets quarterbacks coach Matt Cavanaugh said QB Mark Sanchez must make better decisions if he is to cut down on costly interceptions in 2012. 'There were turnovers that were not his fault that were credited to him,' Cavanaugh said of the quarterback. 'But there were enough that, playing that position, he needs to cut some of those down. Most of them came from just poor decision-making.' |

| New York Jets QB Mark Sanchez wants to get bigger and stronger in 2012, which will help him take the punishment at quarterback over a 16-game season. 'Just starting with this first couple of weeks, one of these things is in the weight room, to really push myself and get a little stronger, a little thicker and maintain my agility, my speed and things like that. That was No. 1 physically,' Sanchez said. |

| New York Jets head coach Rex Ryan confirmed that QB Mark Sanchez is the team's starting quarterback at the start of the team's offseason workouts Monday, April 16. 'Of course, Mark's the starter,' Ryan said. 'There's no question about it. That's how we look at it, but we know that Tim can help us, too. There's no doubt. ... Mark is our starting quarterback. We've said that. We understand Tim is a backup quarterback, but we also recognize the fact that this guy's an excellent football player and we're going to use his abilities.' |
| Fantasy Impact: This isn't a surprise but Sanchez is going to have a quick hook and won't play a full game with Tebow stealing work from him. |

| New York Jets owner Woody Johnson said QB Mark Sanchez is the unquestioned starter for the team this season. 'I'm going to be very clear: Mark Sanchez is our starting quarterback. Period. That's it,' Johnson said. 'He's our starting quarterback. He's going to be a good NFL player. Just like he's been. There's no reason to suspect that Mark will be any different this year than he's been the last 10 years he's played the game. He's been a very consistent performer his whole career.' |

| Former NFL RB Marshall Faulk said New York Jets QB Mark Sanchez has only himself to blame for the arrival of QB Tim Tebow. 'If I'm Mark Sanchez, and they bring in Tebow, it means I hit one of those spells that I always hit,' Faulk said. 'He's just - Mark hasn't been consistent throughout the flow of games. He went weeks at a time and not looked good.' Faulk singled out last season's clash between the Jets and Denver Broncos in Week 11 as proof. 'The pick-six that Mark Sanchez threw against Denver, that they ran back for a touchdown and, in turn, gave Tebow an opportunity to drive down the field with the game-winning touchdown - Mark Sanchez? Yeah, all this is on him.' |
