Who Should I Start? Mason Rudolph or Justin Fields

Sunday, November 23, 10:56 AM

Pittsburgh Steelers quarterback Mason Rudolph will earn the start against the Chicago Bears in Week 12 after Aaron Rodgers (wrist) was ruled out pregame, according to Ian Rapoport of NFL.com. Rodgers was pushing to play, but the team decided to hold him out. This will be Rudolph's first start of the season, but he also earned significant snaps after Rodgers exited last Sunday. In that game, he completed 12 of 16 pass attempts for 127 yards, one touchdown, and zero interceptions. This week, the veteran will face off against a Bears defense that leads the league in interceptions but has also allowed the eighth-most fantasy points to opposing quarterbacks in 2025. He's a low-end QB2 for fantasy purposes.

The New York Jets made the move from quarterback Justin Fields to veteran Tyrod Taylor in the Week 12 loss to the Baltimore Ravens, and Fields will sit out a second straight game in Week 13 when the team takes on the visiting Atlanta Falcons on Sunday. Although the Jets lost another game to Baltimore last weekend, Taylor did improve the passing game slightly, throwing for 222 yards, one touchdown, and one interception. Fields limited his turnovers in his nine starts, but the Jets went 2-7, and he threw for only 1,259 yards and seven touchdowns over that span. He added 71 rushing attempts for 383 yards and four touchdowns on the ground. Fiels is under contract for next season, the second of his two-year, $40 million contract, and the Jets would still owe him $10 million guaranteed if they decided to cut him following this season.
