Who Should I Start? Justin Fields or Drake Maye

Tuesday, January 6, 1:40 PM

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.

New England Patriots quarterback Drake Maye is on the doorstep of his first Super Bowl appearance in just his second year in the league, but he will need to limit turnovers if he's going to lead his team to a victory on Sunday in the AFC Championship against the Denver Broncos. In his first two playoff games, Maye threw for 447 yards on 56 pass attempts for four touchdowns and two interceptions, but he also fumbled four times (lost two) in the Divisional Round win over the Houston Texans. The 23-year-old put himself in the MVP discussion during the regular season by leading the league in completion percentage (72%), yards per attempt (8.9), and QBR (77.1). Maye also finished as the QB3 in overall fantasy points in his sophomore campaign. He'll have his work cut out for him this Sunday in Denver, though, with the Broncos' defense allowing the seventh-fewest passing yards per game (187.2) and sixth-fewest fantasy points per game to opposing QBs during the regular season.
