Despite leading the New York Jets to their first win of the season on Sunday over the Cincinnati Bengals in Week 8, head coach Aaron Glenn "would not commit" to Justin Fields as the starting QB for Week 9 against the Cleveland Browns in two weeks following the team's bye, according to Brian Costello of the New York Post. When asked about the upcoming trade deadline, Glenn said the Jets "will listen when teams call, but that does not mean they will act." The 26-year-old was benched at halftime in the Week 7 loss to the Carolina Panthers, and the Jets were leaning toward starting veteran Tyrod Taylor (knee) under center on Sunday against Cincy before a knee injury knocked him out. Fields went 21-for-32 for 244 yards, one touchdown, and no interceptions in the Week 8 win, adding 11 carries for 31 yards. The Jets will evaluate things during their bye, but it would be surprising if Fields doesn't get another start in Week 10 against a tough Browns defense.

New York Jets quarterback Justin Fields completed 21 of his 32 pass attempts for 244 yards, one touchdown, and zero interceptions during Sunday's Week 8 win over the Cincinnati Bengals. He also rushed for 31 yards on 11 rushing attempts. Fields bounced back in a big way after his Week 7 benching, extending his streak of starts without an interception to 10. The mobile quarterback still remains on a relatively short leash with Tyrod Taylor (knee) available to take over at any time. However, for the time being, it seems Fields has saved his job. He should remain the starter when the Jets return from their bye to face the Browns in Week 10.

If New York Jets quarterback Justin Fields gets the starting nod for Week 8's road outing with the Cincinnati Bengals, it's understandable if fantasy managers display pause when slotting him into their lineups. The Ohio State alum has been superb against softer defenses, though he's underwhelmed in true tests and has seemingly regressed over the past few weeks. Over that frame, Fields has completed just 51.7% (15-for-29) of his passes for 91 yards, culminating in a benching for veteran Tyrod Taylor (knee) in their loss to Carolina. With Aaron Glenn declining to detail his starter this weekend, it further clouds an already abysmal situation for fantasy. Considering Taylor is questionable due to a knee injury, Glenn could allow Fields one more chance to play for his job. And an outing against Cincinnati's bottom-of-the-barrel defense might be just what he needs to get back on track. The matchup is juicy indeed, though if things go south, he could be on a short leash. Due to the uncertainty surrounding the situation, the 26-year-old will sink a few tiers to RotoBaller's QB23 for this week's slate of action.
Oct 25, 2025 3:34 AM EST
ESPN's Rich Cimini reports that New York Jets head coach Aaron Glenn "hasn't decided on his QB" going forward after the team's miserable 13-6 loss to the Carolina Panthers in Week 7. The Jets are 0-7 on the season and have not scored a touchdown in either of their last two games. Starting quarterback Justin Fields was benched midway through Week 7 and has thrown for 845 yards and four touchdowns across six starts so far this season. Veteran quarterback Tyrod Taylor took over for Fields against Carolina and completed 10 of 22 pass attempts for 126 yards, zero touchdowns, and two interceptions. The Jets have a favorable matchup on paper in Week 8 against the Cincinnati Bengals, but could once again be without star wide receiver Garrett Wilson (knee). If he remains the starter, Fields maintains some fantasy appeal due to his rushing ability (257 rushing yards, three touchdowns this season). If the 36-year-old Taylor takes over, he will be tough for fantasy managers to trust, even in two-quarterback formats.
Oct 20, 2025 10:59 AM EST
New York Jets quarterback Justin Fields will be a riskier option than usual for Week 7's meeting with the visiting Carolina Panthers. The 26-year-old has done well for the most part to keep his fantasy value afloat via the run game in 2025. Still, he's likely to be without his primary weapon in the passing game, wide receiver Garrett Wilson (knee), after a fantasy dud against the Broncos in London. Even if Wilson can suit up, it's unclear in what capacity he'll be available after a week's worth of missed practices. Carolina's defense hasn't given up too much yardage and is particularly stout against the run (94.5 yards per game [ninth-fewest]). However, they're yielding the twelfth-most points per contest (24.3), so if Fields can get the offense rolling, there is an opportunity for some fantasy goodness. The fifth-year pro may be relied upon to create more frequently on his own this Sunday, but the loss of Wilson makes him a fringey QB1. Fields is officially RotoBaller's QB12 for Week 7.
Oct 17, 2025 8:36 PM EST
New York Jets quarterback Justin Fields has not thrown an interception through the first six games of his first season in the Big Apple, but he admitted on Wednesday that he has been too conservative as a passer. "I feel like I've been a little bit too conservative in a sense," Fields said. "Probably just [need to] be a little bit more aggressive. The Jets have not won a game in 2025, and Fields took nine sacks and finished with minus-10 net passing yards against the Denver Broncos in Week 6, a franchise low and the fewest in the NFL since 1998. In addition to being 0-6, New York is 25th in scoring (20.5 points per game), and Fields could be in danger of being replaced by veteran Tyrod Taylor if things don't improve soon. Fields could look to be more aggressive in Week 7 against the Carolina Panthers, but he's likely to be without top receiver Garrett Wilson (knee). The only WR with a greater target share this year than Wilson (33.3%) is Jaxon Smith-Njigba (37%). Fields has nowhere to go but up after his Week 6 performance, but without Wilson, he'll be more of a high-end QB2 asset in fantasy this weekend.
Oct 16, 2025 1:33 PM EST
New York Jets head coach Aaron Glenn said during a Monday press conference that he never considered benching quarterback Justin Fields despite Fields' struggles in Week 6 against the Denver Broncos, according to ESPN's Rich Cimini. Cimini reports that Glenn "reiterated commitment to Justin Fields, but acknowledged that he took a step back" on Sunday. The 26-year-old completed nine of 17 pass attempts for 45 yards and was sacked nine times for a combined loss of 55 yards in Week 6 against Denver. Fields has thrown for 799 yards and four touchdowns while rushing for 235 yards and three touchdowns in five games so far this season. If Fields were to get benched, veteran quarterback Tyrod Taylor would likely take over under center for the Jets. However, it appears the team is not considering making a switch going into Week 7. Fields' dual-threat ability keeps him in the mix as a fantasy starter in single-QB leagues, and he gets a much more favorable matchup in Week 7 against the Carolina Panthers.
Oct 13, 2025 10:47 AM EST
Quarterback Justin Fields and the New York Jets will get a difficult task in Week 6 when they line up with the Denver Broncos at Tottenham Hotspur Stadium in London. Fields and New York's offense have started each of the previous two games cold, failing to score more than three points in the first half of either. Moreover, those were against below-average defensive units in the Cowboys and the Dolphins. This Sunday, however, they'll square off with a Broncos team that ranks in the top ten in passing yards (eighth) and points per game allowed (second), presenting as their toughest test of the season. Despite the fifth-year pro's struggles at times, he's been an excellent fantasy producer in three of four outings. Fantasy managers will want to temper expectations against a tough Denver defense, though, leaving Fields as more of a high-end QB2 for this weekend, and, officially, RotoBaller's QB14.
Oct 11, 2025 3:01 PM EST
New York Jets quarterback Justin Fields completed 32 of 46 pass attempts for 283 yards, two touchdowns, and zero interceptions during Sunday's Week 5 loss to the Dallas Cowboys. He took five sacks but also rushed for 26 yards. Although the Jets are 0-5 this season, Fields has been quite productive from a fantasy perspective. In the three games where he has been fully healthy, Fields is averaging 28.2 fantasy points. He has seven total touchdowns and zero interceptions this year, though he also has two lost fumbles to his name. We've known about his rushing ability for quite some time, but we're also starting to see flashes of what he can do throwing the football -- even if it comes in garbage time. The Ohio State product is a mid-to-low fantasy QB1 for Week 6 against a strong Denver Broncos defense.
Oct 5, 2025 7:07 PM EST
New York Jets quarterback Justin Fields will line up for a favorable matchup this Sunday when his team takes on the visiting Dallas Cowboys. New York fell to 0-4 on Monday night in their loss to the Dolphins, but Fields rebounded in his return from a concussion. The 26-year-old was again interception-free and scored his third rushing touchdown of the season en route to a top-five fantasy finish at his position. He'll get another chance to reward fantasy managers who stuck with him in Week 5 against a porous Dallas defense. In addition to the Cowboys being beatable on the ground, they've allowed the most passing yards per game to opposing offenses (297.3) and the most fantasy points per outing to quarterbacks. Fields isn't surrounded by an impressive cast of skill players, but his work in the ground game will continue to boost his fantasy output. He's RotoBaller's QB5 for his meeting with the Cowboys.
Oct 4, 2025 1:23 PM EST
New York Jets quarterback Justin Fields completed 20 of 27 passes for 226 yards and a touchdown while rushing for 81 yards and a touchdown on seven carries in Monday night's 27-21 loss to the Dolphins. He also took two sacks for a loss of 19 yards. Fields put up another strong fantasy performance primarily due to his elite rushing ability, although he was able to rack up some passing production late in the game. Star wide receiver Garrett Wilson came down with a spectacular touchdown grab and had another touchdown called back due to a highly questionable offensive pass interference penalty. So the day could have been even bigger for Fields. He remains locked in as a solid fantasy QB1 when he is healthy.
Sep 30, 2025 12:09 AM EST
New York Jets quarterback Justin Fields will make his return after a one-week absence for Monday's road matchup with the division-rival Miami Dolphins. Fields was knocked out of New York's 30-10 loss to the Bills with a concussion and missed the ensuing week while he cleared protocol. The last time we saw the 26-year-old, he completed just 3-of-11 passes for 27 yards, fumbling twice (one lost). It was an outing to forget for Fields, but he'll get a chance to turn it around in Week 4 against a vulnerable Dolphins defense. Miami has been one of the worst teams in the league thus far, yielding the seventh-most yards per game (370.3) and the most points per contest (32.3). Even if the Ohio State alum struggles again as a passer, his work on the ground should keep him in the conversation of a viable fantasy contributor. Fields is RotoBaller's fantasy QB10 for his meeting with Miami.
Sep 27, 2025 6:44 PM EST
New York Jets quarterback Justin Fields (concussion) has cleared protocol and will start on Monday Night Football against the Miami Dolphins. Fields exited early in Week 2 and missed Week 3, but he is fully removed for Week 4 and set to return. The matchup could not be better. Miami has allowed the second-most fantasy points to quarterbacks this season, and Fields has already shown he can thrive against this defense. In his only career meeting with the Dolphins, he exploded for 178 rushing yards and four total touchdowns, finishing with 40.7 fantasy points. With the Jets still searching for their first win, Fields is positioned for a high-upside QB1 performance in Week 4.
Sep 27, 2025 11:31 AM EST
New York Jets quarterback Justin Fields (concussion) put in his second straight full practice this week on Friday, according to Rich Cimini of ESPN. Fields suffered a concussion in the Week 2 loss to the Buffalo Bills and did not suit up in last week's loss to the Tampa Bay Buccaneers. The 26-year-old is on his way to being cleared from the league's concussion protocol and returning to action on Monday night versus the division-rival Miami Dolphins in a good matchup. Head coach Aaron Glenn said that Fields will return to the starting role when he's cleared, even though veteran backup Tyrod Taylor led a spirited effort in a narrow loss to Tampa in Week 3. Fields' dual-threat abilities under center give him low-end QB1 value in fantasy, and it appears that he's close to being cleared to return against Miami after a one-week absence. Check back on Saturday to see if he's fully cleared.
Sep 26, 2025 5:45 PM EST
New York Jets quarterback Justin Fields (concussion) was a full participant at Thursday's practice, ESPN's Rich Cimini reports. It's a positive step for the Ohio State product, who had yet to log even a limited session since sustaining a concussion back in Week 2. Fields is still required to fully clear protocol before he can suit up for Monday night's matchup with the Miami Dolphins, but he appears to be on track to do just that as of now. Fortunately, he'll get an extra day to do so, as the game takes place on Monday. The 26-year-old will slot back in as New York's starting QB upon his return, and presents as a low-end QB1 for fantasy purposes when healthy.
Sep 25, 2025 9:25 PM EST
New York Jets head coach Aaron Glenn said that if quarterback Justin Fields (concussion) is cleared from the league's concussion protocol, he will start against the Miami Dolphins in Week 4 on Monday night over veteran Tyrod Taylor, according to Zack Rosenblatt of The Athletic. Fields' head slammed to the turf in the Week 2 loss to the Buffalo Bills and suffered a concussion, which kept him out of the Week 3 loss to the Tampa Bay Buccaneers. Taylor nearly led New York to a comeback win in that one, but the Jets are making it clear that Fields is their starter when healthy. Fields is returning to practice on Thursday, but he remains in the concussion protocol, putting his status for the Week 4 Monday night game up in the air. If Fields plays, he'll have a great shot at a bounce-back game with QB1 upside against the winless Dolphins and their suspect defense.
Sep 25, 2025 12:30 PM EST
New York Jets head coach Aaron Glenn said that quarterback Justin Fields (concussion) will practice on Thursday, but he's still in the league's concussion protocol, according to Adam Schefter of ESPN. Fields will be listed as limited on the first Week 4 injury report with the Jets facing off against the division-rival Miami Dolphins on Monday night. The 26-year-old slammed his head to the turf in the Week 2 loss to the Buffalo Bills and was forced to sit out of the Week 3 loss to the Tampa Bay Buccaneers. He's making progress, but he must clear concussion protocol and be cleared in order to return on Monday night in a good matchup against the winless Dolphins. Glenn has made it clear that Fields will be the starter over veteran Tyrod Taylor once he's past his concussion. If Fields plays, he'll be a high-end QB2 with his dual-threat abilities versus Miami.
Sep 25, 2025 12:11 PM EST
New York Jets head coach Aaron Glenn reports on Monday that quarterback Justin Fields (concussion) will remain the team's starter once clearing concussion protocol. "Justin came in as our starter," Glenn said. "He's been our starter. Tyrod was the backup...So once Justin is clear, I'll let you know exactly where we're going." It sounds like New York's new head coach isn't willing to give up on the 26-year-old QB just yet. With the Jets squaring off against the Dolphins on Monday Night Football, we may not receive an update regarding Fields until later in the week, but as of now, he should be on track to suit up for that contest. However, if he can't, it'll be backup Tyrod Taylor calling signals once more. The Ohio State product will be one to monitor over the coming week.
Sep 22, 2025 11:29 AM EST
According to ESPN's Rich Cimini, New York Jets head coach Aaron Glenn declined to respond when asked if a player could lose his job while injured, regarding quarterback Justin Fields (concussion). Yikes. The Ohio State alum's performance in Week 2 was nothing short of dreadful -- a surprising outcome after their execution in Week 1. It's unlikely that Fields would outright lose his job, particularly after one down game and an injury that shouldn't keep him out for an extended duration. Still, it's a comment worth noting, and a situation that requires monitoring. Glenn is a hard-nosed coach, but losing faith in his starting quarterback after one week of play doesn't align with his character. We'll know more following this weekend.
Sep 19, 2025 11:59 AM EST
New York Jets quarterback Justin Fields (concussion) has been ruled out for Week 3 against the Tampa Bay Buccaneers, per NFL Network's Tom Pelissero . Fields was forced to leave New York's Week 2 contest early due to a concussion. Given how early in the week Fields has been ruled out, it's possible he could be facing a multi-week absence, but that's pure speculation at this stage. Veteran quarterback Tyrod Taylor will get the start against Tampa Bay in Fields' absence. Taylor completed seven of 11 pass attempts for 56 yards and a touchdown after taking over mid-game in Week 2. His last stretch of extended NFL action came in 2023 for the New York Giants, when he threw for 1,341 yards and five touchdowns and rushed for 197 yards on 38 attempts across 11 games (five starts). The 36-year-old Taylor still offers some dual-threat ability and could be a low-end injury replacement option in two-quarterback fantasy leagues.
