Justin Fields Confirmed as Jets' No. 2 QB for Sunday, Reflecting Career Transition

Coach Aaron Glenn confirmed on Wednesday, November 19, 2025, that Justin Fields will serve as the New York Jets' No. 2 quarterback on Sunday against the Ravens. This move follows his trade from the Bears to the Steelers for a sixth-round pick, where he was expected to back up Russell Wilson. Fields' accuracy has been a concern, ranking 28th in on-target percentage (68.1) and 29th in completion percentage (61.4) in 2024. However, his downfield passing improved significantly, and his fantasy value is largely built on rushing, finishing second among QBs with 657 rushing yards and four scores in 2024 despite missing 4.5 games. In 2023, he finished sixth in fantasy scoring among quarterbacks, primarily due to his rushing production. Drafted 11th overall in 2021, Fields was noted for his strong arm, good size (6-3, 227), and excellent speed (4.46 40), with mobility being his best asset.
