Who Should I Start? Justin Fields or Puka Nacua

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.

Los Angeles Rams wide receiver Puka Nacua caught 10 of his 11 targets for 76 yards and one touchdown during Sunday's Week 18 win over the Arizona Cardinals. He also rushed for 24 yards on two carries. The Rams had already locked up either the No. 5 or No. 6 seed in the NFC playoff picture before Week 18, but head coach Sean McVay still wanted to play all of his starters. Both Nacua and quarterback Matthew Stafford played the full game, and the duo showed off their strong rapport once again on Sunday evening. Despite a mid-season injury, Nacua finishes his third regular season in the NFL with 129 catches, 1,715 receiving yards, and 10 receiving touchdowns, ranking as the overall WR1 in full-PPR leagues. He'll be a key weapon for the Rams as they look to make a deep playoff run, starting with Wild Card Weekend against the Carolina Panthers.
