Who Should I Start? Justin Fields or Jayden Daniels

Despite leading the New York Jets to their first win of the season on Sunday over the Cincinnati Bengals in Week 8, head coach Aaron Glenn "would not commit" to Justin Fields as the starting QB for Week 9 against the Cleveland Browns in two weeks following the team's bye, according to Brian Costello of the New York Post. When asked about the upcoming trade deadline, Glenn said the Jets "will listen when teams call, but that does not mean they will act." The 26-year-old was benched at halftime in the Week 7 loss to the Carolina Panthers, and the Jets were leaning toward starting veteran Tyrod Taylor (knee) under center on Sunday against Cincy before a knee injury knocked him out. Fields went 21-for-32 for 244 yards, one touchdown, and no interceptions in the Week 8 win, adding 11 carries for 31 yards. The Jets will evaluate things during their bye, but it would be surprising if Fields doesn't get another start in Week 10 against a tough Browns defense.

The Washington Commanders still don't have a clear timetable for when quarterback Jayden Daniels (elbow) might return after he suffered a dislocated left elbow in Sunday night's loss to the Seattle Seahawks in Week 9, and head coach Dan Quinn said the team is still collecting information. "It will knock him out for a while for sure," Quinn said. The Commanders should have another update on the second-year signal caller by Wednesday or Thursday. Although nothing is official yet, the 24-year-old is expected to land on Injured Reserve, which would knock him out for at least four games. The good news, though, is that the injury is to Daniels' non-throwing arm, and X-rays ruled out any fractures. Still, it wouldn't be a surprise if we didn't see Daniels again in 2025. In the meantime, veteran Marcus Mariota will return to a starting role in an offense that is expected to be without top receiver Terry McLaurin (quadriceps) again in Week 10 versus the Detroit Lions.
