The New York Jets just added another QB to their room in Cade Klubnik at No. 110.  He ended his college career with a 63.9% Completion Percentage and his five-star pedigree make him a developmental stash in the Big Apple. Klubnik had a 19.5 Breakout Age and a sneaky rushing floor—with 550+ career rushing yards—proving he possesses a bit of the dual-threat upside required to command a modern NFL offense.

 

In dynasty Superflex formats, Klubnik is taxi-squad target, and if the cards all fall the right way, he could be the Jets QB of the future. But for this year, he will compete with Brady Cook and Tyrod Taylor for a roster spot.

The Jets aren’t entirely dead! The Jets are now 3-9 on the season after Tyrod Taylor went 19-33 for 172 passing yards, 1 passing touchdown and 1 rushing touchdown. The main beneficiary of Taylor’s game was newly acquired wide receiver Adonai Mitchell who had 8 catches, 102 receiving and 1 touchdown. The receiving touchdown came on a deep bomb of 52 yards!

 

 

The New York Jets are not a sexy fantasy team but they are not completely barren. Even with Garrett Wilson injured, the Jets still have running back Breece Hall and now Adonai Mitchell. Even rookie tight end Mason Taylor has some promise. The Jets could certainly benefit from drafting one the top quarterbacks of the 2026 draft to show some more promise in the future.

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.

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.

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.

Tommy DeVito was successful when he initally took over at quarterback for the injured Daniel Jones and Tyrod Taylor. That led to him being named the signal caller even when Taylor returned from injury. However, after multiple subpar offensive outings, the Giants will make a change. Taylor will make his first start since week 7 this season and will likely remain the quarterback for the team’s final two games.

 

This marks the end of an exciting story for a player whose fame quickly rose because of his big personality. DeVito performed admirably and proved he’s a quarterback in today’s NFL. That role should be as a backup though because DeVito doesn’t have the playmaking ability or decision-making to be a consistent starter.

 

For fantasy managers in championships this weekend though Taylor remains an intriguing option. He will be off the radar in 1QB formats, but considering the injuries to the quarterback position this year, Taylor will be a back-end QB2 in my rankings. He remains active with his legs and has been efficient in his limited opportunities over the last several years.
