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.

Sauce Gardner and Garrett Wilson are officially out for Sunday

Rookie TE Mason Taylor might legitimately get 12 targets this week, though we still don't know if they will come from Tyrod Taylor or Justin Fields. The rest of the wide receiver room should be avoided for fantasy purposes.

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.

The Jets have made a switch at the quarterback position, going with Tyrod Taylor to start the second half.

Justin Fields’ benching felt inevitable. Fields has struggled almost all season and was arguably the biggest reason the Jets’ offense looked lost since their strong showing in Week 1. It started coming to a head last week in London when he threw for just 45 yards in a 13-11 loss to the Broncos. Incredibly, Fields hasn’t thrown an interception all season. But that’s about the only highlight so far of his season.

Jets star wide receiver Garrett Wilson (knee) won’t practice today and won’t play Sunday vs. the #Panthers, sources tell @CBSSports.

There’s some hope though that he could maybe be back as soon as next week’s game vs. the Bengals, per sources.

Someone is going to catch passes from Justin Fields this Sunday, but outside of TE Mason Taylor, the reward is not likely to be worth the risk starting them in your fantasy lineup. Wilson will be in a good spot next week for the Cincinnati defense.

WR Garrett Wilson underwent an MRI today and appears to have avoided a serious knee injury, per source, but it probably still means some down time.

It seems like it's been a common theme today - discussing injuries as they relate to teams' byes - but Cimini went on to point out it's worth noting that the Jets have two more games (CAR, at CIN) before their bye and it's possible that factors into the timetable for Wilson.
