Who Should I Start? Tyrod Taylor or Shedeur Sanders

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.

Cleveland Browns rookie fifth-round quarterback Shedeur Sanders will serve as the backup to fellow rookie Dillon Gabriel in the Week 6 divisional clash on Sunday against the Pittsburgh Steelers, according to head coach Kevin Stefanski. Sanders began the year buried on Cleveland's QB depth chart, but he has slowly risen up the ranks after the Browns traded both Joe Flacco and Kenny Pickett. The 23-year-old showed well in training camp and the preseason and has been praised by the coaching staff for the work that he's put in, but they are going to continue to develop him at their own pace in what is looking like another rebuilding year. Gabriel will probably have a long leash under center as he heads into just his second NFL start this weekend against Pittsburgh. However, Sanders' odds of seeing action in 2025 later this year have risen dramatically after the trade of Flacco this week. He is still only deserving of being rostered in fantasy in dynasty/keeper leagues.
