Who Should I Start? Jimmy Garoppolo or Justin Fields

Los Angeles Rams backup quarterback Jimmy Garoppolo (back) will be listed as questionable for Sunday's Divisional Round contest against the hosting Chicago Bears, according to head coach Sean McVay. Garoppolo was held out of Thursday's practice due to a back injury that he picked up earlier this week. The Rams are being extra cautious with the 34-year-old veteran signal-caller going into the Divisional Round this weekend. If he's active on Sunday, he will continue to serve as the insurance policy for Matthew Stafford, who is the favorite to win the NFL MVP this year. Jimmy G saw action in only three games during the regular season, but he didn't attempt a single pass with Stafford staying healthy all year.

When asked if quarterback Justin Fields would be back with the team in 2026, New York Jets head coach Aaron Glenn said, "He's under contract," according to Antwan V. Staley of the New York Daily News. The Jets brought Fields in as a free agent last offseason to be their starter under center, but the plan backfired. Fields, a former first-rounder, went 2-7 as a starter and was eventually benched for veteran backup Tyrod Taylor late in the season. The 26-year-old ended the season on Injured Reserve with a knee injury. Fields limited turnovers, but he completed 62.7% of his pass attempts for 1,259 yards, seven touchdowns, and one interception. He also didn't run very much, carrying the ball 71 times for 383 yards and four TDs. At best, Fields will likely be competing for a starting role if he stays with the Jets in the second year of his two-year, $40 million deal.
