Jets Beat: Door appears open for QB Justin Fields benching

Oct 13, 2025

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.”

Fantasy Impact:

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.

Buccaneers WR Emeka Egbuka (hamstring) expected to miss time

Buccaneers WR Emeka Egbuka will miss time with a hamstring injury.

Fantasy Impact:

Egbuka will get an MRI today. Rapoport said the injury doesn't seem as serious as Evans' hamstring injury, but it's looking like he's going to at least miss this week's game against the Lions. The Bucs then play the Saints before their Week 9 bye, so it's very possible we don't see Egbuka until Week 10. Rapoport said Evans is getting closer to a return and Godwin is week to week. Anyone on the Bucs who plays the WR position could be in play for fantasy lineups, at least for Week 7. It was Kam Johnson and Tez Johnson who both stood out with TD catches against the 49ers.

Chiefs WR Rashee Rice suspension ends

Chiefs WR Rashee Rice’s six-game suspension is now over and he is eligible to play Sunday vs. the Raiders.

Fantasy Impact:

The Chiefs and Mahomes get back another weapon for their offense which looks to be clicking, at least at times this season, especially this week when knocking off the Lions on Sunday night. When we last saw Rice to start 2024, he collected 24 catches on 29 targets in three games, piling up 288 yards and two touchdowns. It may take a little time to get Rice up to speed, but Rice was with the team in training camp before his suspension started which should only help. The Chiefs host the Raiders in Week 7 in an early Sunday game.

Saints RB Alvin Kamara subject of trade calls

Saints RB Alvin Kamara has been the subject of trade calls, but his stance was made clear — He doesn’t want to go anywhere.

Fantasy Impact:

Beat writer Nick Underhill reposted Rapoport's report and confirmed Kamara is the kind of guy who wants to give everything to one city. However, it doesn't mean for the right price the Saints wouldn't move on from Kamara as they need assets going forward to become more of a contending team. This could be a situation to watch if you're a Kamara owner. A move to a contending team could increase fantasy value, but could also come with less of a workload.
