The New York Jets are choosing Tyrod Taylor over Justin Fields to jump-start the offense.
The New York Jets are 2-8 on the season, Justin Fields was paid $40 million to be the starting quarterback. He has struggled to get the offense rolling, so the team is turning to veteran Tyrod Taylor. Neither quarterback has looked good in this offense.
The only Jets player even worth potentially starting is running back Breece Hall. The ceiling of this offense is severely capped by the quarterback play. Fields at least had his legs to provide some fantasy points rushing. Taylor has never been a runner. This week the Jets play the Ravens whose defense is starting to play like the defense they were expected to be. Taylor is not worth a start even if you are desperate.

Garrett Wilson will miss Thursday night’s matchup against the New England Patriots.
The Jets just can’t seem to catch any breaks. After 2 straight wins, they lose their stud wide receiver Garrett Wilson. Wilson had just returned from injury.
The knee sprain will not require surgery, however Wilson is expected to miss the next month. Depending on the Jets record, Wilson’s season may be over. The Patriots defense is in a smash spot Thursday night. Aside from Breece Hall, all other Jets are risky fantasy investments.

Garrett Wilson trending towards playing versus the Browns this week!
The Jets are sorely missing star wide receiver Garrett Wilson. He has missed with a knee injury since Week 7 and is coming off a bye week feeling healthy.
Wilson will be a much needed weapon versus the stout Cleveland Browns defense. Whether it is Justin Fields or Tyrod Taylor starting at quarterback, this is much welcomed news for Jets fans and fantasy gamers alike. Fire up Garrett Wilson as a back end WR1.

Jets quarterback Tyrod Taylor will be out until Week 1 after undergoing arthroscopic knee surgery.
The Jets are heading into the 2025 season ready for Justin Fields to start the season. Backup Tyrod Taylor is a perfect archetype match to Fields should Fields suffer an injury. Both quarterbacks have excellent scrambling and rushing ability. Unfortunately, the Jets will need Fields to be healthy as Taylor has just had surgery on his knee.
Taylor will miss the rest of the preseason after undergoing arthroscopic surgery. The Jets are hoping to have him back by Week 1. While this isn’t reason to be too concerned, it does emphasize the need for Justin Fields to start the season in good health and to perform well.
Should the Jets 1-year experiment with Justin Fields not work out, they will surely be in the running for a starting quarterback in the 2026 NFL Draft. While Fields signed a 2-year deal, his cap hit in 2025 is $8 million compared to $23 in 2026. In the meantime, consider Taylor a stash in superflex dynasty leagues at best while Fields has top-5 weekly upside, as volatile as it may be.

New York Jets quarterback Justin Fields has a right toe injury after being stepped on.
Jets fans need to look away. Starting quarterback Justin Fields has suffered a right toe injury. Head coach Aaron Glenn mentioned that Fields was most likely stepped on and that the severity of the injury remains to be seen.
This is one of the first scary injury updates of 2025 during training camp. The words ‘carted off’ inject a certain level of fear in fantasy managers. While there was lurking fear of an Achilles injury, it seems as though Justin Fields will be ok long term. In the short term, expect more clarity which will provide a timeline for any projected time missed for Fields.
The Jets don’t seem to have any luck, but it appears they dodged a massive bullet, for now. Fields is expected to help unlock running back Breece Hall and connect with his former Ohio State teammate Garrett Wilson (wide receiver). Expect Justin Fields to pay off massively due to his high rushing upside, but that assumes him staying on the field.

Jets football analyst Joe Caporoso is projecting 150 carries for Justin Fields this season, which could put him in a QB1 role
Justin Fields will finally get a second shot as a teams starting Quarterback, after getting the boot for Caleb Williams in Chicago and then again missing out on a starter role in Pittsburg because of Russell Wilson. When Fields last took the…field… as a starter he did quite well for himself, a QB 9 finish in 2023 and a whopping QB 5 finish in 2022 for fantasy points per game could once again be back in play.
Fields never really got there with his passing, he ranked in the bottom third of nearly all passing metrics, both volume and efficiency, while starting for Chicago – however his prowess in the run game has really been dominant. In the 2022 season fields ended with 160 carries for 1143 rushing yards and 8 rushing Touchdowns. If he is able to make good on a 150 carry projection a similar stat line and a top 12 QB finish is well within reach.
