Jets Beat: Team 'moving toward' starting Tyrod Taylor at QB

Pro Football Talk

Oct 21, 2025 · 3:43 PM EDT

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.

Fantasy Impact:

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.

Jets not yet naming starting QB

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

Fantasy Impact:

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.

Jets make mid-game quarterback switch, Tyrod Taylor starts second half

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

Fantasy Impact:

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 Beat: Door appears open for QB Justin Fields benching

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.
