Who Should I Start? Justin Fields or Breece Hall

Tuesday, September 16, 12:09 PM

New York Jets quarterback Justin Fields (head) is in the league's concussion protocol after his head slammed to the turf in Sunday's Week 2 loss to the Buffalo Bills, and he's unlikely to play in Week 3 against the Tampa Bay Buccaneers if he is unable to practice on Wednesday and Thursday, according to head coach Aaron Glenn. The head coach said it would be "hard for me as a coach" to start Field if he didn't get any practice reps on Wednesday and Thursday. With Fields in the NFL's concussion protocol this week, the Jets are preparing for the possibility of starting backup Tyrod Taylor on Sunday. Fields finished the Week 2 loss to Buffalo with a career-low 1.1 QBR after an impressive Week 1 showing. Taylor, 36, missed the entire preseason due to arthroscopic knee surgery, which raised questions about his readiness for the start of the season. He also hasn't started a game since 2023 with the Giants.

Week 2 didn't go as expected for running back Breece Hall and the New York Jets' offense. The 24-year-old exploded for 107 rushing yards in the team's season opener, notching his first 100-yard effort on the ground since Week 6 of last season. However, Buffalo's defense proved too much for quarterback Justin Fields, who seemed to regress after his superb outing against the Steelers. Now, it's unclear which version we'll get from week to week. It isn't all doom and gloom for Hall, as he's either tied for or outright been the team's second-leading target getter in both games. Furthermore, he's very clearly the No. 1 option out of the backfield. Expectations need to be tempered for the time being, but the fourth-year pro still has a clear path to production. He'll look to get back on track in Week 3 against the Tampa Bay Buccaneers.
