The New York Jets made the move from quarterback Justin Fields to veteran Tyrod Taylor in the Week 12 loss to the Baltimore Ravens, and Fields will sit out a second straight game in Week 13 when the team takes on the visiting Atlanta Falcons on Sunday. Although the Jets lost another game to Baltimore last weekend, Taylor did improve the passing game slightly, throwing for 222 yards, one touchdown, and one interception. Fields limited his turnovers in his nine starts, but the Jets went 2-7, and he threw for only 1,259 yards and seven touchdowns over that span. He added 71 rushing attempts for 383 yards and four touchdowns on the ground. Fiels is under contract for next season, the second of his two-year, $40 million contract, and the Jets would still owe him $10 million guaranteed if they decided to cut him following this season.

Heading into their Week 12 matchup against the Baltimore Ravens, the New York Jets announced that veteran Tyrod Taylor will be taking over for Justin Fields as the team's starting quarterback. The demotion is the next rough patch in what's been a rocky first season in New York for Fields. Across nine games, the 26-year-old has completed 62.7% of his pass attempts for 1,259 yards, seven touchdowns, and one interception. While Fields remains a threat with his legs (383 rushing yards, four touchdowns), he's averaged a career-low 6.2 yards per pass attempt while taking a sack on 11.7% of his drop-backs. Unless Taylor were to get injured, Fields is not expected to be re-inserted as the Jets' starter this season. It remains to be seen whether Fields will stay in New York for the 2026 season or if he will get another shot to be a starter elsewhere, but he's unlikely to carry fantasy value in redraft leagues for the remainder of 2025.

The Athletic's Dianna Russini reports that the New York Jets are making a change at quarterback and will bench Justin Fields in favor of veteran Tyrod Taylor, according to a source. Through 11 weeks, the Jets rank dead-last in the league in passing yards per game under Fields. The 26-year-old has limited the turnovers (one interception) in his first year with the Jets, but he's thrown for only seven touchdowns and 1,259 yards on 204 attempts in nine starts. While last Thursday night's loss to the New England Patriots was one of his better performances, he still threw for only 116 yards and also lost a fumble. Fields has gone under 100 yards passing in four of his nine games in 2025. He could get another shot before the end of the season if Taylor isn't much better, but for now, there's no reason to keep him rostered in redraft fantasy leagues.

New York Jets quarterback Justin Fields completed 15 of his 26 pass attempts for 116 yards, one touchdown, and zero interceptions during Thursday's Week 11 loss against the New England Patriots. He also added 11 rushing attempts, 67 rushing yards, and one rushing touchdown. While Fields had another poor game passing, he salvaged his fantasy performance with a solid rushing performance. It wasn't enough to keep the Jets' win streak alive, but it was likely enough to prompt fantasy managers to consider starting him next week against the Baltimore Ravens. Fields is best viewed as a low-floor, high-ceiling QB2 in fantasy football.
Nov 14, 2025 12:02 AM EST
ESPN's Rich Cimini reports that New York Jets quarterback Justin Fields "could be playing for his job" on Thursday night versus the division-rival New England Patriots. Fields has four sub-100-yard passing games (most in the league), including three in the last four games. The 26-year-old signal-caller has led the Jets to two straight wins, but he's going to need to perform better to hold off veteran QB Tyrod Taylor moving forward. It's not going to be easy on Thursday evening against an 8-2 Patriots team, especially with receivers Garrett Wilson (knee) and Josh Reynolds (hip) on Injured Reserve. Fields has completed only 63.5% of his 178 pass attempts for 1,143 yards, six touchdowns, and one interception in eight starts. He has limited turnovers, but he's also attempted fewer runs. Fields might need to go off as a rusher to save his job in Week 11.
Nov 13, 2025 7:54 PM EST
The New York Jets are expected to start Justin Fields at quarterback on Thursday night against the division-rival New England Patriots, according to Albert Breer. Although the expectation is that Fields would make another start under center for the Jets after winning a second straight game in Week 10, head coach Aaron Glenn refused to make an official announcement. Fields' last game against the Patriots was at Gillette in 2022 when he played for the Chicago Bears, and he led them to a 33-14 win, throwing for 179 yards and a touchdown while rushing for 82 yards and another score. Fields hasn't been great in his first year with the Jets in eight starts, but he hasn't had much to work with through the air, and now top wideout Garrett Wilson (knee) is on Injured Reserve. Unless Fields can run all over the Pats again on Thursday night, it might be another rough fantasy showing for the former first-rounder.
Nov 13, 2025 7:25 PM EST
New York Jets quarterback Justin Fields put another rough outing on paper in Week 10, again leaving his status as the team's starter in doubt as they head into a Thursday night clash with the hosting New England Patriots. Coming out of the Jets' bye, Fields posted his fourth appearance of the campaign with fewer than ten completed passes and a less-than 55% completion rate. It was a tough outing against a strong Cleveland defense, and the former Pittsburgh Steeler won't find much reprieve in the Pats. New England has clamped down on opposing rushing attacks in 2025, allowing the fewest yards on the ground per game (79.2), while yielding the sixth-fewest points (19.2). Fields could always pop off with his legs, but he'll take a hit again while being without his top target in Garrett Wilson (knee). The 26-year-old is RotoBaller's QB26 ahead of Thursday's road bout.
Nov 12, 2025 8:18 PM EST
When asked about who will get the starting nod in this Thursday's road matchup with the New England Patriots, head coach Aaron Glenn declined to say whether it'd be quarterback Justin Fields or Tyrod Taylor. Glenn has been playing this game for a few weeks now, and it doesn't appear that he'll relent in doing so. For what it's worth, Glenn noted that he "liked his [Fields] aggressiveness on the interception," presumably insinuating that he enjoyed watching his QB attempt to fit it into a tight window. As it stands, the 26-year-old will likely remain the Jets' signal-caller for the remainder of the season. With that said, it doesn't seem that Glenn is willing to shut the door on the possibility of Taylor playing altogether. Stay tuned, as it likely won't be official until much closer to game time on Thursday.
Nov 10, 2025 11:30 AM EST
The New York Jets plan to start Justin Fields at quarterback for their Week 10 matchup against the Cleveland Browns, according to Matt Zenitz of CBS Sports. Head coach Aaron Glenn refused to give a clear answer on who the Jets were planning to start at quarterback this week, but as expected, Fields will make his eighth start of the season. The 26-year-old has struggled on the whole this season, completing 64.1% of his passes for 1,089 yards with five touchdowns and no interceptions, but has continued to be dynamic as a runner with 53 carries for 288 yards and three touchdowns. The former first-round pick is coming off his best game of the season in Week 8 against the Bengals, completing 21 of 32 passes for 244 yards and a touchdown to go with 11 rushes for 31 yards in the Jets' first win of the season. Surprisingly, Fields is also the only quarterback in the league with at least 100 pass attempts who has not thrown an interception. However, he's remained one of the league's worst at avoiding sacks, with his 11.64% sack rate ranking third highest. Fields will rank as a mid-range QB2 for Week 10 against the Browns.
Nov 8, 2025 3:27 PM EST
Despite head coach Aaron Glenn declining to name a starter out of the bye week, quarterback Justin Fields is expected to lead the offense this Sunday in a home clash with the Cleveland Browns. Fields helped orchestrate New York's first win of the season in Week 8 in a shootout with the Bengals. However, he'll get a much stiffer test this weekend in the visiting Browns. On the season, Cleveland has allowed the sixth-fewest passing yards per game (182.6) and the seventh-least fantasy points per contest to QBs (14.69). There's always a chance that the 26-year-old will make an impact with his legs, although, with how Glenn has flip-flopped between Fields and Tyrod Taylor, he also has a shot at being benched before the game is concluded. On the bright side, Fields should get his No. 1 target back in wide receiver Garrett Wilson (knee), but he'll be a shaky play against one of the league's more imposing defenses. He's RotoBaller's QB19 for his matchup at MetLife.
Nov 8, 2025 9:59 AM EST
New York Jets head coach Aaron Glenn is refusing to announce his starting quarterback for Sunday's Week 10 contest against the Cleveland Browns, according to Rich Cimini of ESPN. "We'll have a quarterback," Glenn said. The first-year head coach wouldn't even say if he hopes to get to a point where there's an entrenched starter. Cimini writes that Justin Fields is expected to "get the nod" on Sunday after leading the Jets to their first win of the year before their Week 9 bye. Fields probably gives New York its best chance of winning a second straight game over veteran Tyrod Taylor, and he certainly gives fantasy managers more upside as a QB2. However, nothing is official, and Fields won't be all that attractive as a QB2 streamer in fantasy lineups this weekend if he makes another start against a very capable Browns defense that is also coming off a bye.
Nov 7, 2025 1:52 PM EST
When asked whether he expects to play on Sunday in Week 10 against the Cleveland Browns, New York Jets quarterback Justin Fields said, "We'll see," according to Rich Cimini of ESPN. The Jets were leaning toward starting veteran Tyrod Taylor in their Week 8 win over the Cincinnati Bengals before he came down with a knee injury that sidelined him. Even though Fields looked good in the comeback victory over Cincinnati, the Jets remain undecided on who to start under center this weekend against the Cleveland Browns as they come off their bye week. Head coach Aaron Glenn is probably going to play it close to the vest, so we may not know who is starting at QB for Gang Green until this weekend. The matchup is not fantasy-friendly, but Fields has much more fantasy upside because of his rushing ability outside of the pocket.
Nov 5, 2025 3:34 PM EST
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.
Oct 27, 2025 12:13 PM EST
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.
Oct 27, 2025 12:38 AM EST
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.
