Who Should I Start? Justin Fields or Garrett Wilson

Monday, October 20, 10:59 AM

ESPN's Rich Cimini reports that New York Jets head coach Aaron Glenn "hasn't decided on his QB" going forward after the team's miserable 13-6 loss to the Carolina Panthers in Week 7. The Jets are 0-7 on the season and have not scored a touchdown in either of their last two games. Starting quarterback Justin Fields was benched midway through Week 7 and has thrown for 845 yards and four touchdowns across six starts so far this season. Veteran quarterback Tyrod Taylor took over for Fields against Carolina and completed 10 of 22 pass attempts for 126 yards, zero touchdowns, and two interceptions. The Jets have a favorable matchup on paper in Week 8 against the Cincinnati Bengals, but could once again be without star wide receiver Garrett Wilson (knee). If he remains the starter, Fields maintains some fantasy appeal due to his rushing ability (257 rushing yards, three touchdowns this season). If the 36-year-old Taylor takes over, he will be tough for fantasy managers to trust, even in two-quarterback formats.

New York Jets head coach Aaron Glenn said that wide receiver Garrett Wilson (knee) is considered day-to-day, according to Brian Costello of the New York Post. Wilson suffered a hyperextended knee in the Week 6 loss to the Denver Broncos in London and did not suit up in Sunday's loss to the Carolina Panthers. The 25-year-old appears to have a shot at returning this weekend when the Jets square off against the Cincinnati Bengals, but it will likely come down to how much he can do at practice this week. Wilson is the team's clear No. 1 receiver and has 56 targets through six games played, so the Jets desperately need him back with the team expected to give veteran quarterback Tyrod Taylor his first start of the year in Week 8. Wilson's fantasy ceiling has been low in New York's struggling passing attack, and it's unlikely that Taylor will be much of an improvement. If Wilson sits out again this weekend, Josh Reynolds will again serve as the Jets' WR1.
