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 head coach Dave Canales, the Carolina Panthers are looking to add quarterback depth this week. Starting QB Bryce Young (ankle) suffered a high ankle sprain in Sunday's win over the Jets, and it was veteran backup Andy Dalton who closed out the game. With Young expected to miss some time, Dalton is in line to get the start when the Panthers host the Bills in Week 8. Behind Dalton, the Panthers currently have no other quarterbacks on the active roster, so the team will likely activate third-year pro Hendon Hooker from the practice squad to the game day roster, but will look to bring in another arm as they attempt to add to their three-game winning streak.
