Who Should I Start? Tyrod Taylor or Mac Jones

New York Jets quarterback Justin Fields was benched at halftime during Sunday's Week 7 contest against the Carolina Panthers. At the time of his benching, he had completed just six of 12 pass attempts for 46 yards, zero touchdowns, and zero turnovers. He also rushed for 22 yards and took three sacks. He was replaced by Tyrod Taylor, who led the Jets' offense on the opening drive of the second half. Fields' benching runs counter to comments made by head coach Aaron Glenn last week, when he criticized a reporter for asking about a potential quarterback change. Just seven days later, Glenn appears to have a new perspective on the situation. Taylor will be tasked with leading the 0-6 Jets back from a 10-3 deficit coming out of the locker room.

San Francisco 49ers quarterback Mac Jones (knee, oblique) will be under center in the Week 7 matchup versus Atlanta. With Brock Purdy (toe) still working his way back, Jones will get a chance to make amends for his two-interception showing in the recent loss to the Tampa Bay Buccaneers. To be fair, the 27-year-old has played well enough throughout the 2025 campaign, tossing for 1,252 yards, six touchdowns, and three picks while completing 67.3% of his attempts. Unfortunately, the 49ers will be without Ricky Pearsall (knee). However, Jones will still have Christian McCaffrey, Kendrick Bourne, and Jauan Jennings in his arsenal. George Kittle (hamstring) will also make his return after being sidelined since the Week 1 win over the Seattle Seahawks. All things considered, the signal-caller may not be the safest fantasy option in single-quarterback setups against an improved Falcons defense. Still, with Sunday's contest anticipated to be one of the highest-scoring games on the Week 7 schedule, Jones can realistically be utilized by those participating in Superflex formats.
