The Jets are benching QB Justin Fields in favor of QB Tyrod Taylor for this weekend's game against the Ravens, according to The Athletic's Dianna Russini. Fields is coming off one of his better passing performances of the season in Thursday night's loss to the Patriots -- but it still resulted in only 116 yards and one TD. The Jets have been held under 120 passing yards in three of Fields' last four games. He's completed 62.7% of his passes at just 6.2 yards per attempt on the season.
Taylor hasn't been any better than Fields this year in terms of efficiency. He's completed 62.3% of his passes at 5.5 yards per attempt across one start and two other appearances. Taylor also has a nearly identical sack rate as Fields (11.5% vs. 11.7%).
Taylor will not save this passing game, especially with WR Garrett Wilson out at least three more games. We could at least get a bump in passing volume with Taylor, though. The Jets registered a +5.5% pass rate over expectation in Taylor's Week 3 start -- one of only three games with a positive PROE this year. (One of the other two came in Week 7, when Fields was benched at halftime.)
You can continue to ignore Jets WRs at least until Wilson returns. We'd consider Taylor a slight upgrade for TE Mason Taylor.
