Jets HC Aaron Glenn officially announced QB Tyrod Taylor will start Sunday vs. the Ravens.

The raw dropbacks will at least go up, but there's such a lack of firepower in the pass-catching group that Taylor still shouldn't be on many fantasy radars. He's currently in the final spot of our QB rankings.

The Jets are making a quarterback change, benching Justin Fields in favor of veteran Tyrod Taylor, per source.

New York faces Baltimore in Week 12 and ranks last in the league in passing yards per game, after Fields again struggled in Week 11. The Jets have seemed tempted to make this change since before their bye week, and finally pull the trigger. Taylor should at least give some passing consistency to the offense vs. Fields, but he won't have his top target in Wilson to work with. Fantasy owners should at least keep an eye on guys like Metchie, Williams and Mitchell, who are all younger WRs who could emerge with fantasy value with Taylor under center. Rookie TE Mason Taylor could also see more quality targets.

Jets head coach Aaron Glenn has avoided naming a starting quarterback ahead of the team’s last two games and he plans to make it three in a row this week.

Glenn ended his opening statement at Monday’s press conference by letting reporters know that they shouldn’t bother with questions about whether Justin Fields or Tyrod Taylor will get the start against the Patriots on Thursday night.

“Please don’t ask me anything about the quarterbacks,” Glenn said. “You know I’m not going to tell you and I don’t want to waste my time when it comes to that, when it comes to who’s starting.”

Fields has started each of the last two Jets games, both of which were wins. But, Fields was only 6-of-11 for 54 yards in Sunday’s win over the Browns with 42 of the yards coming on a dump-off that running back Breece Hall broke for a touchdown, the story pointed out. The Jets were also helped by two special team touchdowns. The Jets play on Thursday night against the Patriots so the question will have to be answered a little sooner this week.

Aaron Glenn also said Justin Fields, “played the game exactly like we see him playing for us to win the game,” but he did not say that Fields will be the starter when the Jets return from their bye to host the Browns in Week 10.

“I think you know what my answer’s going to be on that,” Glenn said. “This is the bye week and we’re going to focus on us. I have time to make that decision.”

Leading up to Week 8's game, the Jets seemed poised to turn things over to Taylor, but Taylor was eventually ruled out leaving Fields to start. Fields had a nice day, throwing for 244 yards, a touchdown and converting two, two-point plays to lead the Jets to their first win. The Jets have a bye in Week 9, so the team will hold off in naming a starter for Week 10, which is a game at home against the Browns. It's hard to imagine Fields not getting another shot off the bye, and coming off his best game of 2025, but stranger things have happened when it comes to the Jets.

The Jets ruled out QB Tyrod Taylor for Sunday’s game against the Bengals with a knee injury. Justin Fields will start.

Taylor was limited all week in practice and head coach Aaron Glenn was very hush on who would start at quarterback Sunday, never committing one way or the other, especially in the case of Taylor. Now the Jets go back to the quarterback they benched during last week’s loss to the Panthers. Fields has thrown for less than 100 total yards in the last two weeks and he’ll again be without Garrett Wilson. It could be another long day for the 0-7 Jets.

Tyrod Taylor (knee) will be listed as questionable, Glenn says. He's among a group of players in the questionable category, but Glenn says he likes the way they're trending -- meaning he expects them to play.

From a QB streaming perspective, we'd perfer Fields to start in this game against a weak Bengals defense, but regardless of who starts, it would be hard to trust any of the Jets pass catchers. If Taylor gets the start, we can comfortably ignore the entire situation.

Tyrod Taylor is dealing with a knee injury and is day to day, Glenn said.

Welp, it looks like this could be a Justin Fields week, whether the Jets like it or not. As painful as it might feel, Fields would actually be in a great spot against the Bengals defense and would be an interesting streamer if he was dropped in your league.

It looks like the Jets are going to have a new starting quarterback against the Bengals in Week 8.

Head coach Aaron Glenn declined to name a starter after replacing Justin Fields with Tyrod Taylor for the second half of their loss to the Panthers and he said he was still considering the choice on Monday, but Rich Cimini of ESPN.com reports that the team is “moving toward” making Taylor the starter.

The story went on to say Glenn will speak to reporters on Wednesday, but a signal about the direction they’re going came when team owner Woody Johnson spoke to reporters at a league meeting in New York on Tuesday. Johnson noted that “it’s hard when you have a quarterback with a rating that we got” and complimented the defense while saying he thinks things would look good “if we could just complete a pass,” the story went on to say.

Aaron Glenn says he hasn't decided on his QB yet.

Taylor came on to replace Fields in the second half of Sunday's game. He was just 10 for 22 for 126 yards and also threw two interceptions. But Fields again struggled in Week 7 after netting minus-10 yards in Week 6. The team was without Garrett Wilson at WR but Sunday's loss to the Panthers showed there may not be much of a difference between Fields and Taylor. It's a fantasy situation to stay far away from at this point as rumors circulate of a Jets trade deadline fire sale as well.

This opens the door to potentially benching Justin Fields if he has another bad game.

“When you look at what Fields did, the games that he played,” Glenn told reporters. “Listen, I didn’t think he was bad at all. I actually thought he did some pretty good things in those four games. In this fifth game, he took a step back. I’m with you guys 100 percent. And we can’t have that. And we have to get better than that. And he knows that. And he knows that better than anyone. So I don’t think you try to bench a player after having one true bad game. Because I thought the other games he played fairly well.”

Fields' job looks to be safe for Week 7, which is a home game against the Panthers and a possible chance for the Jets offense to get right. But, the Panthers have been better lately. The Jets then play the Bengals in Week 8 before a bye in Week 9. Taylor would likely get the chance to start if the team does make a move, but these next couple weeks look to be a perfect opportunity for Fields to solidify his starting position.
