Who Should I Start? Justin Fields or Trey Lance

Wednesday, November 12, 8:18 PM

New York Jets quarterback Justin Fields put another rough outing on paper in Week 10, again leaving his status as the team's starter in doubt as they head into a Thursday night clash with the hosting New England Patriots. Coming out of the Jets' bye, Fields posted his fourth appearance of the campaign with fewer than ten completed passes and a less-than 55% completion rate. It was a tough outing against a strong Cleveland defense, and the former Pittsburgh Steeler won't find much reprieve in the Pats. New England has clamped down on opposing rushing attacks in 2025, allowing the fewest yards on the ground per game (79.2), while yielding the sixth-fewest points (19.2). Fields could always pop off with his legs, but he'll take a hit again while being without his top target in Garrett Wilson (knee). The 26-year-old is RotoBaller's QB26 ahead of Thursday's road bout.

Los Angeles Chargers quarterback Trey Lance started the second quarter of the team's 27-13 preseason win against the New Orleans Saints and eventually led a 14-play, 85-yard scoring drive towards the end of the half. The 25-year-old, a former first-round pick, got it done more with his legs than his arm, completing seven of 14 passes for 55 yards through the air while rushing for 48 yards and a touchdown on seven carries. Although he was up and down with his accuracy and had a fumbled snap, Lance looked confident and poised, building off the momentum he gained in the Hall of Fame Game last week. Overall, Lance easily outplayed backup Taylor Heinicke and made a strong case to be Justin Herbert's primary backup this season.
