Fields exited the Jets’ Week 2 tilt with concussion protocol, clouding Week 3 at Tampa Bay and forcing fantasy managers to prepare a backup plan. If Fields rests, Tyrod Taylor would likely start, reshaping targets for Wilson and the backfield while leaning on Taylor’s mobility to keep the floor intact.

Fields’ 49 rushing yards on five carries kept his fantasy value afloat despite a 3-for-11 passing line; his absence would trim that rushing upside and shift the Jets’ offensive flow toward faster throws and more designed runs for Taylor. Monitor practice reports all week to map lineups.

Fields is in concussion protocol, so Tyrod Taylor could start Sunday if cleared. The Jets are building plans for both quarterbacks and will tailor practice reps to the active one.

Fields left the loss to Buffalo with a 1.1 QBR after a hit by Joey Bosa; Taylor showed enough to suggest a capable hand in a Taylor-led offense, with Ruckert delivering a late TD as a potential safety valve. With an 0-2 start, New York faces a decisive week, and the decision between Fields and Taylor could redefine the Jets’ ceiling for fantasy options and DFS pivots.

Week 2 injuries reshape fantasy NFL rosters. Burrow's toe surgery outs him for months; Browning starts, elevating Chase's and Higgins' ceiling only if Cincinnati stabilizes at QB. Reed's 6-8 week absence widens Packers targets to Wicks, Doubs, and Kraft while Love powers the offense. Ekeler's season-ending injury opens Croskey-Merritt as Washington’s lead back, with Jones’ hamstring risk looming. Fields' concussion creates Jets QB uncertainty, boosting Tyrod Taylor as a streamer. Week 3 brings more volatility as backfields and pass-catching duties shift to fill the gaps.
