Who Should I Start? Tyrod Taylor or Josh Allen

New York Jets quarterback Justin Fields (knee) is officially inactive for Sunday's game against the New Orleans Saints, while Tyrod Taylor (groin, knee) will be active as the QB2 behind undrafted rookie Brady Cook. Both quarterbacks were questionable heading into Sunday, with Fields' status more in doubt after being limited in practice this week. As a result, the 2021 first-round pick will at least serve as the emergency QB3 in Week 16. Taylor was expected to serve as the backup to Cook after logging a full practice on Friday. Cook shouldn't be considered as a fantasy option against a New Orleans Saints defense that has been stingy against the pass in recent weeks. In his NFL debut last weekend, Cook threw three interceptions with just one passing score and 176 passing yards.

Buffalo Bills quarterback Josh Allen (foot) recently underwent foot surgery to repair a broken bone in his right foot. Despite suffering the injury in Week 16, Allen finished the 2025 season without missing a game and is expected to recover long before the start of 2026. The 29-year-old posted another excellent campaign in 2025, completing a career-high 69.3% of his pass attempts for 3,668 yards, 25 touchdowns, and 10 interceptions. Allen also remains one of the NFL's best rushing quarterbacks, as he logged 579 yards and 14 touchdowns with his legs, his third straight season with at least 500 rushing yards and 12 rushing scores. Provided he can make a full recovery from his current foot injury, there's little reason to think Allen will slow down heading into his age-30 season in 2026. The Bills also appear likely to prioritize adding pass-catching help around Allen over the offseason after the team's wide receiver corps underperformed throughout this most recent year. Allen remains an elite fantasy quarterback option in both redraft and dynasty formats heading into 2026.
