New York Jets quarterback Tyrod Taylor (groin) has officially been ruled out for Sunday's contest against the Jacksonville Jaguars in Week 15, according to Brian Costello of the New York Post. Taylor injured his groin early in last week's loss to the Miami Dolphins and was unable to practice this week. Justin Fields (knee) has also been ruled out for a second straight week, leaving rookie Brady Cook to make his first NFL start this weekend in Jacksonville. The Jets will also be without rookie tight end Mason Taylor (neck), leaving Cook with limited options against the first-place Jags. Taylor, who had taken over for Fields as the starter under center, will try to make his way back for a Week 16 date with the New Orleans Saints on Sunday, Dec. 21. Avoiding all of the Jets' offensive skill players this weekend is probably a good strategy in fantasy in Week 15.

New York Jets quarterback Tyrod Taylor (groin) wasn't seen at practice on Thursday, according to ESPN's Rich Cimini. Taylor also missed practice on Wednesday, so he's currently on the wrong side of questionable to play this weekend in Jacksonville against the Jaguars in Week 15. The 36-year-old veteran took over the starting QB duties from the struggling Justin Fields (knee), but he injured his groin early in Sunday's loss to the Miami Dolphins and is now in jeopardy of missing time. Fields missed the Week 14 game due to knee soreness and hasn't practiced this week either. If neither Taylor nor Fields can play this weekend, rookie Brady Cook would be forced into his first NFL start. It's shaping up as a situation to avoid for fantasy managers heading into the first week of the playoffs in most leagues.

New York Jets quarterback Tyrod Taylor (groin) is not taking part in practice on Wednesday, according to Rich Cimini of ESPN. Justin Fields (knee) isn't practicing either, so undrafted rookie QB Brady Cook will take the first-team reps under center. Taylor made the start in Week 14 against the Miami Dolphins, but injured his groin early and was replaced by Cook. The 36-year-old veteran went just 1-for-4 passing for six yards and an interception on Sunday. Taylor has two more days to get back on the practice field, but he should be considered questionable to play in Week 15 against the first-place Jacksonville Jaguars on Sunday. He has boosted New York's passing game slightly since taking over the starting gig from Fields, but he doesn't offer very much upside at all in fantasy football. Taylor has completed 59.7% of his passes for 779 yards, five TDs, and five picks in his six games (four starts) in 2025.
Dec 10, 2025 1:37 PM EST
The New York Jets said quarterback Tyrod Taylor (groin), who departed Sunday's game against the Miami Dolphins, is questionable to return to action. Undrafted rookie Brady Cook is the team's backup quarterback and could be looking at extended action if Taylor is unable to return. Taylor, who supplanted Justin Fields as the Jets' starter, has brought some value to Superflex formats with a pair of top-10 finishes on the year, but with Fields (knee) inactive today, the Jets' entire offense could see its ceiling lowered if an inexperienced quarterback is at the helm.
Dec 7, 2025 1:54 PM EST
New York Jets quarterback Tyrod Taylor picked up his first win of the season in last weekend's home clash with the Falcons and will look to keep the team in playoff contention with a matchup against the Miami Dolphins on tap this Sunday. The Virginia Tech product has been a serviceable signal-caller for New York over the previous two weeks, moving the offense at a moderately improved clip compared to his predecessor, Justin Fields (knee). Taylor will get a Dolphins' pass defense in Week 14 that doesn't yield much yardage, although they're a favorable spot for QBs, allowing the seventh-most fantasy points per game to the position (18.98). With new teammates Adonai Mitchell and John Metchie III emerging in the Jets' aerial attack, the veteran boasts modest appeal as a back-end streaming option. Still, he's better suited to superflex formats given his low ceiling. Taylor is RotoBaller's QB20 for this weekend's outing.
Dec 6, 2025 1:08 AM EST
New York Jets quarterback Tyrod Taylor completed 19 of 33 passes for 172 yards and a touchdown while adding eight carries for 44 yards and a rushing score in Sunday's 27-24 win over the Atlanta Falcons. Taylor led the Jets to their third win of the season in his second straight start in place of Justin Fields. He found receiver Adonai Mitchell for a 52-yard touchdown en route to a career day for the second-year wideout. The 36-year-old Taylor has performed well and figures to remain the team's starter going forward. His rushing ability gives him a decent floor for fantasy production, and he's produced the ninth-most fantasy points among quarterbacks in the past two games. Taylor could be worth adding and plugging in as a streamer for Week 14 against the Miami Dolphins in two-QB fantasy leagues.
Dec 2, 2025 5:01 PM EST
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.
Nov 30, 2025 6:18 PM EST
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.
Nov 29, 2025 12:18 AM EST
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.
Nov 26, 2025 12:19 AM EST
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.
