Who Should I Start? Tyrod Taylor or Baker Mayfield

Wednesday, November 12, 8:24 PM

Leading up to their Thursday night road matchup with the New England Patriots, New York Jets head coach Aaron Glenn has refused to name a starting quarterback, again leaving doubt about whether it will be Justin Fields or Tyrod Taylor leading the offense. Although Glenn has stuck with Fields for the Jets' previous two games, the Ohio State alum put together another dismal performance in last weekend's 27-20 victory over the Cleveland Browns. In truth, it will be difficult to trust either in Week 11 outside of superflex/2QB formats, given New York will be without its top receiving threat, Garrett Wilson (knee). Even then, New England's defense has been stifling in 2025, affording the eighth-fewest total yards per contest (306.2) to opposing offenses. Fantasy managers can steer clear of this QB room until the offense gets back on track.

Tampa Bay Buccaneers quarterback Baker Mayfield completed 28 of his 43 pass attempts for 273 passing yards, three touchdowns, and zero interceptions during Sunday's Week 10 loss against the New England Patriots. He also took two sacks in the defeat. Mayfield played a solid, clean game, but it wasn't enough to hold off the surging Patriots. This showdown between potential MVP candidates in Mayfield and Drake Maye lived up to the hype, as the two combined for 543 passing yards and five total touchdowns. Moving forward, the Bucs' signal caller will continue to rank as a strong QB1 in fantasy football. He takes on the Buffalo Bills in Week 11.
