Who Should I Start? Tyrod Taylor or Brian Hoyer

Tuesday, October 21, 1:54 PM

New York Jets owner Woody Johnson said that the quarterback decision is "completely up to the coach," and ESPN's Rich Cimini is reporting that head coach Aaron Glenn is "moving toward" naming veteran Tyrod Taylor as his starter heading into Week 8 against the Cincinnati Bengals, according to sources. Glenn benched Justin Fields in the second half in Sunday's ugly 13-6 loss to the Carolina Panthers in Week 7, and it appears that Fields will remain benched moving forward. The 26-year-old Fields has flopped in his first year in New York, completing 63.7% of his 135 pass attempts for 845 yards, only four touchdowns, and no interceptions in his six starts. It could end up being a temporary benching, but this news obviously tanks what little fantasy value Fields had left. Taylor will be a low-upside QB3 option in superflex leagues in his first start of the year in Week 8 on the road against the Cincinnati Bengals.

According to ESPN's Adam Schefter, the Raiders parted ways with quarterback Brian Hoyer. The journeyman signal-caller has bounced around the league over the year. He's appeared in 79 regular season games, tossing for 10,899 yards and 53 touchdowns (37 picks) off 59.3% passing. He hasn't done much in the last few seasons, and he finished the 2023-24 campaign by throwing for just 231 yards, along with two picks. At any rate, there could be a market for Hoyer, who has established himself as a quality backup during his career. But even if the 38-year-old finds a new team, that doesn't mean he'll draw attention from managers in fantasy drafts heading into the new season.
