The Jets quarterback is coming off one of the worst passing performances in franchise history, and the question entering Sunday’s game against the Panthers is whether he will be the starting quarterback when it finishes.

Star receiver and Fields’ favorite target Garrett Wilson is doubtful due to a knee injury. The Jets’ other receivers, Josh Reynolds, Allen Lazard, rookie Arian Smith and Tyler Johnson, have 20 catches combined – 16 fewer than Wilson.

To be sure, Fields' numbers are pretty ugly. Heading into Week 7 he ranks 31st in the NFL in QBR (32.1). While he hasn't thrown an interception yet he only has 799 passing yards (29th) and just four touchdown passes (also 29th) to go with three rushing touchdowns.

Justin Fields wants to take more risks on the field. The New York Jets' offense has struggled, with Fields throwing no interceptions but also lacking big plays.

New York Jets quarterback Justin Fields reveals he's been playing through a nagging injury after the Jets' Week 6 loss.

Hall of Fame quarterback Kurt Warner almost sounded frustrated at times by the Jets offense and quarterback Justin Fields.

The New York Jets could be looking for a new QB next offseason, and they could get one near the top of the 2026 NFL draft.
