New York Jets quarterback Tyrod Taylor made his second straight start versus the Atlanta Falcons in Week 13. Taylor was held in check during the first half with less than 40 passing yards at half. The 36-year-old was able to turn it around in the second half, which included a 52-yard touchdown to Adonai Mitchell. Taylor led his team down the field and scored a game-tying touchdown with under a minute remaining. After that, Taylor was able to get the Jets offense in position for a field goal to win the game. He completed 19-of-33 passing attempts for 172 yards with one touchdown. Taylor also rushed the ball eight times for 44 yards and an additional touchdown on the ground. Given his success, Taylor figures to remain the starter for next week's matchup against the Miami Dolphins.

New York Jets quarterback Tyrod Taylor performed well in his second start of the season last weekend and will try to build off of it against a fickle Atlanta Falcons defense this Sunday. The veteran wasn't exactly a fantasy-viable option in Week 12, although New York's offense encouragingly showed a bit of rhythm for at least one game. Atlanta has been formidable at times this season, affording opposing QBs the eleventh-fewest fantasy points per outing (15.41). Furthermore, their 190.4 passing yards per game allowed is the eighth-best mark in the league. While a porous rush defense may contribute to the overall numbers, it doesn't change Taylor's status as a risky play, making him only a low-ceiling streaming option in superflex/2QB formats. The 36-year-old is RotoBaller's QB26 in Week 13's ranks.

New York Jets quarterback Tyrod Taylor performed well in his second start of the season in Week 12 against the Baltimore Ravens, completing 17 of 28 pass attempts for 222 yards, one touchdown, and one interception while adding five carries for 19 yards. Taylor performed well enough against his former team to remain the Jets starter moving forward. His 7.9 yards per attempt ranked eighth among quarterbacks, and his 71.3 QBR was the fifth-best mark in Week 12. The 36-year-old was a noticeable improvement over Fields for at least this game, with one of their trade deadline acquisitions, John Metchie III, posting a career high six catches for 65 yards and a touchdown. Still, the ceiling isn't high for Taylor in fantasy, and he's best viewed as a QB2/QB3 for Week 13 against the Atlanta Falcons.

New York Jets veteran quarterback Tyrod Taylor will remain the team's starting QB, according to Dennis Waszak Jr. "I thought he did a really good job for us. So, looking forward to seeing how he's going to operate moving forward -- because I know you guys want to ask me that question," head coach Aaron Glenn said on Monday. In his second start of the year, Taylor went 17-for-28 passing for a season-high 222 yards, one touchdown, and one interception in the 23-10 loss to the Baltimore Ravens on Sunday. The 36-year-old also added five carries for 19 yards. Although Taylor couldn't help the Jets win, he did improve the passing game slightly and will continue to make starts with Justin Fields sitting on the bench. Taylor brings a low ceiling in fantasy football, though, as a QB2/3 as he heads into a Week 13 meeting with the Atlanta Falcons.
Nov 24, 2025 1:55 PM EST
In a move that had been put on hold due to a two-game win streak, New York Jets head coach Aaron Glenn finally made the switch from a struggling Justin Fields to quarterback Tyrod Taylor ahead of Sunday's game with the hosting Baltimore Ravens. Taylor has appeared in three games already this season, though this will be his second official start, and he won't be given any courtesy. Despite favorable-looking season-long numbers for the defensive unit, Baltimore has been a force since Week 6, a span in which they've yet to allow more than 19 points. Teams have had luck moving the ball through the air versus the Ravens, but the veteran's lack of proven offensive weaponry figures to pose an issue against a talented group of players. Taylor lands as RotoBaller's QB24 for this weekend, and shouldn't be considered outside of a streaming option in superflex/2QB formats.
Nov 22, 2025 10:44 AM EST
New York Jets quarterback Tyrod Taylor was named the starter over Justin Fields for Week 12 against the Baltimore Ravens. While Taylor has a pair of turnovers in each of his last two games, he could benefit from this week's matchup. Baltimore has allowed the 12th-most passing yards to opposing quarterbacks in 2025, and the Jets are 13.5-point underdogs, which means Taylor should have to throw the ball often. He'll benefit from increased passing volume, as well as the potential for garbage-time scoring if Baltimore takes a massive lead as expected. Plus, Taylor has some rushing upside, as he tallied 48 rushing yards in his lone start earlier this season. The dismal state of the Jets' offense is hard to ignore, and managers are right to be worried about Taylor's weapons with Garrett Wilson (knee) sidelined. However, this week's game script and matchup could put Taylor into the low-end QB2 tier, at least temporarily.
Nov 19, 2025 11:48 PM EST
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. The Jets will face the Baltimore Ravens in Week 12 and rank last in the league in passing yards per game with 139.9. Fields had a decent day for fantasy managers who started him in last Thursday night's loss to the New England Patriots, but he threw for just 116 yards and a touchdown on 26 pass attempts. Fields has finished under 100 passing yards in four of his nine games in his first year in New York, and the Jets are going to go in another direction as they look for a spark. The 36-year-old Taylor isn't going to be a savior for the Jets, but he could be a steadying presence for the offense. In three games this year, he's gone 43-for-69 for 379 yards with three touchdowns and three picks. At best, Taylor is going to be a low-end desperation streamer for fantasy managers in superflex two-QB leagues going forward.
Nov 17, 2025 12:25 PM EST
Leading up to their Thursday night road matchup with the New England Patriots, New York Jets head coach Aaron Glenn has refused to name a starting quarterback, again leaving doubt about whether it will be Justin Fields or Tyrod Taylor leading the offense. Although Glenn has stuck with Fields for the Jets' previous two games, the Ohio State alum put together another dismal performance in last weekend's 27-20 victory over the Cleveland Browns. In truth, it will be difficult to trust either in Week 11 outside of superflex/2QB formats, given New York will be without its top receiving threat, Garrett Wilson (knee). Even then, New England's defense has been stifling in 2025, affording the eighth-fewest total yards per contest (306.2) to opposing offenses. Fantasy managers can steer clear of this QB room until the offense gets back on track.
Nov 12, 2025 8:24 PM EST
New York Jets quarterback Tyrod Taylor would be a low-end streaming option in Week 10 if he gets the starting nod for the team's home bout with the Cleveland Browns. Even after a bye week, head coach Aaron Glenn has still not seen fit to name a starting quarterback. The 36-year-old looked like he might get a shot to run away with the starting gig back in Week 8, although he was eventually ruled out with a knee injury. Taylor looks to be over his ailment, carrying no designation into Sunday's contest. The sentiment around the team, however, seems to be that Justin Fields will again lead the Jets' offense. Whichever of the two winds up calling signals for New York will be met with a challenging outing against a Browns unit that's been unkind to opposing offenses. Through eight games, Cleveland is third in total defense (276.9) and has forced the fifth-most interceptions (eight) while yielding a dreary 12.13 rushing yards per game to QBs.
Nov 8, 2025 10:07 AM EST
New York Jets quarterback Tyrod Taylor (knee) was able to practice in full on Wednesday. Taylor took over for Justin Fields during their loss to the Carolina Panthers in Week 7. Sadly, Taylor suffered a knee injury during that game, which kept him sidelined in Week 8. Luckily, Taylor has been able to rest and recover over the last few weeks. It appears the 36-year-old will be ready to go if called upon to start against the Cleveland Browns this weekend. Head coach Aaron Glenn hasn't announced a starter yet, so fantasy managers will have to stay tuned for that.
Nov 5, 2025 9:17 PM EST
New York Jets head coach Aaron Glenn told reporters on Monday that veteran quarterback Tyrod Taylor (knee) "will be practicing this week," according to Eric Allen of NewYorkJets.com. Glenn remains mum on who will be the team's starting QB coming out of their bye to face the Cleveland Browns this Sunday in Week 10. The Jets were leaning toward starting Taylor in Week 8 against the Cincinnati Bengals before he came down with a knee injury, forcing Fields into another start. Fields led the Jets to their first win of 2025, going 21-for-32 passing for 244 yards, one touchdown, and no interceptions while adding 31 rushing yards on 11 carries. It seemed as though Fields did enough to get another shot as the starter following the team's Week 9 bye, but apparently, New York isn't sold. If Taylor makes his first start of the year this Sunday, he'd be an unattractive, low-end QB2, at best, against a Browns defense that is the strength of their team.
Nov 3, 2025 12:24 PM EST
New York Jets quarterback Tyrod Taylor (knee) has been ruled out for his team's Week 8 matchup against the Cincinnati Bengals due to a knee injury, per Brian Costello of the New York Post. There had been speculation that Taylor would take over for the struggling Justin Fields under center for the 0-7 Jets, but that will not be the case in Week 8. Costello writes that Fields will be the team's starting quarterback against Cincinnati, with rookie Brady Cook serving as the backup. Fields has completed 63.7% of his pass attempts for 845 yards, four touchdowns, and zero interceptions across six games so far this season. He's also rushed 42 times for 257 yards and three scores, which allows him to maintain fantasy appeal. The Bengals have allowed opponents to score over 30 points per game on average this season, so there's an opportunity for Fields to produce in Week 8.
Oct 25, 2025 12:59 PM EST
New York Jets quarterback Tyrod Taylor (knee) will be difficult to bet on if he plays in Week 8 when his team takes on the hosting Cincinnati Bengals. The Jets are lined up for a juicy matchup against one of the league's worst defensive units. However, it's unclear who will be New York's starting quarterback. Justin Fields has all but played himself out of a job, but Taylor, who is questionable, is dealing with a knee issue that's kept him to a limited status at practice this week. If the 36-year-old does end up leading the offense, fantasy managers can take a chance on him as a streamer in superflex/2QB formats, particularly against a vulnerable Bengals defense. Cincinnati is allowing the third-most passing yards (257.1) and eighth-most fantasy points per game to QBs. Taylor ranks as RotoBaller's QB22 ahead of Sunday's outing.
Oct 25, 2025 3:43 AM EST
New York Jets quarterback Tyrod Taylor (knee) is listed as questionable to play in Sunday's Week 8 contest against the Cincinnati Bengals, according to NewYorkJets.com's Eric Allen. However, head coach Aaron Glenn said that the veteran QB is trending in the right direction to be available this weekend. Taylor has been limited in practice this week due to a knee injury that isn't believed to be serious. It's unclear if the 36-year-old's injury will keep him from making the start under center against Cincy over Justin Fields, who was benched at halftime in last Sunday's loss to the Carolina Panthers. The 0-7 Jets' offense is a mess. Not only is Taylor banged up, but they will be without top receiver Garrett Wilson (knee) for a second straight game, while running back Breece Hall (knee) and rookie tight end Mason Taylor (quadriceps) are questionable. If Taylor is active and makes his first start of the year, fantasy managers in superflex leagues would be better off looking elsewhere.
Oct 24, 2025 12:36 PM EST
New York Jets quarterback Tyrod Taylor (knee) is dealing with a knee injury this week and is considered day-to-day, according to head coach Aaron Glenn. Although nothing has been confirmed, the Jets are reportedly heading towards naming Taylor as the starter over Justin Fields for their Week 8 contest this Sunday against the Cincinnati Bengals, although it's unclear if Taylor's new knee injury will factor into the final decision. The 36-year-old veteran played the second half of the team's 13-6 loss to the Carolina Panthers on Sunday after Fields was benched at halftime. Taylor was unable to lead the Jets to their first win, going 10-for-22 passing for 126 yards, no touchdowns, and two interceptions. The matchup this weekend against Cincy's porous defense is a good one, but Taylor still won't be much more than a desperation low-end QB2 play in superflex leagues if he makes the start over Fields.
Oct 22, 2025 12:36 PM EST
New York Jets quarterback Tyrod Taylor hasn't officially been named the starter for the team's Week 8 matchup against the Bengals, but head coach Aaron Glenn is reportedly "moving toward" naming the veteran as the starter over the struggling Justin Fields. Taylor hasn't impressed in limited action, completing 62.3% of his passes for three touchdowns and three interceptions. With star wideout Garrett Wilson (knee) sidelined, the Jets lack a true pass-catching threat and have also struggled to run the ball recently. If Taylor starts in Week 8 on the road against the Bengals, he'll only be a viable option in superflex formats.
Oct 22, 2025 9:02 AM EST
New York Jets owner Woody Johnson said that the quarterback decision is "completely up to the coach," and ESPN's Rich Cimini is reporting that head coach Aaron Glenn is "moving toward" naming veteran Tyrod Taylor as his starter heading into Week 8 against the Cincinnati Bengals, according to sources. Glenn benched Justin Fields in the second half in Sunday's ugly 13-6 loss to the Carolina Panthers in Week 7, and it appears that Fields will remain benched moving forward. The 26-year-old Fields has flopped in his first year in New York, completing 63.7% of his 135 pass attempts for 845 yards, only four touchdowns, and no interceptions in his six starts. It could end up being a temporary benching, but this news obviously tanks what little fantasy value Fields had left. Taylor will be a low-upside QB3 option in superflex leagues in his first start of the year in Week 8 on the road against the Cincinnati Bengals.
Oct 21, 2025 1:54 PM EST
New York Jets quarterback Justin Fields could be in jeopardy of losing his starting job after another rough outing on Sunday against the Panthers. Before the game, coach Aaron Glenn dismissed any discussion about a change at quarterback, but then, midway through the game, Tyrod Taylor came on in place of Fields. Neither QB led a touchdown drive or was especially effective, but Taylor's game does seem to fit the scheme of offensive coordinator Tanner Engstrand a little better. Taylor is more willing to take shots down the field as a traditional pocket passer, while Fields tends to dink and dunk while scrambling around. Taylor started against the Bucs in Week 3 while Fields was out with a concussion, and he almost led the Jets to a road win with 197 passing yards, two touchdowns, and an interception. Fields has more individual fantasy upside due to his scrambling and rushing contributions, but Taylor could make the rest of the Jets offense better fantasy contributors if he takes over.
Oct 21, 2025 9:36 AM EST
New York Jets quarterback Justin Fields was benched at halftime during Sunday's Week 7 contest against the Carolina Panthers. At the time of his benching, he had completed just six of 12 pass attempts for 46 yards, zero touchdowns, and zero turnovers. He also rushed for 22 yards and took three sacks. He was replaced by Tyrod Taylor, who led the Jets' offense on the opening drive of the second half. Fields' benching runs counter to comments made by head coach Aaron Glenn last week, when he criticized a reporter for asking about a potential quarterback change. Just seven days later, Glenn appears to have a new perspective on the situation. Taylor will be tasked with leading the 0-6 Jets back from a 10-3 deficit coming out of the locker room.
Oct 19, 2025 3:17 PM EST
New York Jets quarterback Tyrod Taylor will take the field this Sunday in an exploitable matchup with the hosting Tampa Bay Buccaneers. The 36-year-old hasn't drawn a start since Week 17 of the 2023 season during his time with the Giants, but he'll get the nod in Week 3 with Jets' starter Justin Fields (concussion) battling a concussion. Taylor isn't a world-beater, but he's at least an average thrower of the football. Fortuitously, he'll square off against a Buccaneers defense that's allowed 235.5 passing yards per game - the ninth-most in the league. The Jets figure to continue relying on their ground attack, but Tampa Bay has been excellent in that regard (76.5 yards allowed per game [fifth-fewest]). It wouldn't be surprising to see the team air it out slightly more than they have through the first two weeks, particularly with Baker Mayfield and the Bucs pushing the pace. He's RotoBaller's QB21 ahead of Week 3, and can be left on waivers for the time being sans two-quarterback formats.
