Who Should I Start? Tyrod Taylor or Taysom Hill

Wednesday, October 22, 12:36 PM

New York Jets quarterback Tyrod Taylor (knee) is dealing with a knee injury this week and is considered day-to-day, according to head coach Aaron Glenn. Although nothing has been confirmed, the Jets are reportedly heading towards naming Taylor as the starter over Justin Fields for their Week 8 contest this Sunday against the Cincinnati Bengals, although it's unclear if Taylor's new knee injury will factor into the final decision. The 36-year-old veteran played the second half of the team's 13-6 loss to the Carolina Panthers on Sunday after Fields was benched at halftime. Taylor was unable to lead the Jets to their first win, going 10-for-22 passing for 126 yards, no touchdowns, and two interceptions. The matchup this weekend against Cincy's porous defense is a good one, but Taylor still won't be much more than a desperation low-end QB2 play in superflex leagues if he makes the start over Fields.

New Orleans Saints tight end/quarterback Taysom Hill recorded just one carry for one yard in the Week 6 loss to the Patriots, but it was enough for the 35-year-old Swiss Army knife to find the end zone. This was only his second game back since tearing his ACL in Week 13 of 2024, and so far he's logged seven carries for zero yards and a touchdown while also completing his lone pass attempt for 19 yards in Week 5. Hill remains one of the most unpredictable players in football, but a favorable matchup against a Bears defense allowing 156.4 rushing yards per game could give him a spark. He ranks as a TE2 with week-winning upside if he sees enough opportunities across the board.
