The New York Jets made a significant move in the offseason, cutting Aaron Rodgers and signing Justin Fields as his replacement.
However, the former first-round pick has struggled over the past few weeks, failing to reach 100 passing yards in three of his last four games. There have been speculations that the Jets may consider benching Fields in the coming weeks.

“Everything I’ve been told this week indicates that Justin Fields, who has started both of those games, will get another start Thursday night against the Patriots because the team wouldn’t want to make such a big change on a short week,” Graziano wrote on Wednesday.
Fields has completed 63.5% of his passes for 1,143 yards, six scores and one pick in eight games. Although the stats are decent, he has recorded the fewest passing yards among all starting quarterbacks who have played at least eight games this season.
