Who Should I Start? Tyrod Taylor or Daniel Jones

Saturday, October 25, 12:59 PM

New York Jets quarterback Tyrod Taylor (knee) has been ruled out for his team's Week 8 matchup against the Cincinnati Bengals due to a knee injury, per Brian Costello of the New York Post. There had been speculation that Taylor would take over for the struggling Justin Fields under center for the 0-7 Jets, but that will not be the case in Week 8. Costello writes that Fields will be the team's starting quarterback against Cincinnati, with rookie Brady Cook serving as the backup. Fields has completed 63.7% of his pass attempts for 845 yards, four touchdowns, and zero interceptions across six games so far this season. He's also rushed 42 times for 257 yards and three scores, which allows him to maintain fantasy appeal. The Bengals have allowed opponents to score over 30 points per game on average this season, so there's an opportunity for Fields to produce in Week 8.

Indianapolis Colts quarterback Daniel Jones continued his bid for comeback player of the year in a Week 8 win over the Tennessee Titans. Jones completed 21 of 29 passes for 272 yards and three touchdowns in the 38-14 win. Jones has now thrown for 2,062 yards, 13 touchdowns, and three interceptions while adding four rushing touchdowns for the Colts this season. The veteran quarterback will look to keep it going in a Week 9 road matchup against the Pittsburgh Steelers. Pittsburgh's defense has really struggled against the pass this season, allowing the second-most fantasy points per game to the quarterback position in seven games. Jones remains a mid-range QB1 in fantasy and should be locked into starting lineups in most fantasy leagues heading into Week 9.
