Chiefs' Justin Fields: Headed to Kansas City
The Jets are slated to trade Justin Fields (knee) to the Kansas City Chiefs in exchange for a sixth-round pick in the 2027 NFL Draft, Tom Pelissero of NFL Network reportsWith Patrick Mahomes recovering from a torn ACL that he sustained Dec. 14, Fields should have an opportunity to work as Kansas City's QB1 this offseason, provided he's past the knee issue he dealt with at the end of the 2025 season. Beyond that, it's possible that Fields -- whose ability as a rusher boosts his fantasy utility -- will begin the 2026 campaign as the team's starter, a potential scenario that hinges on the pace of Mahomes' recovery. Per Matt McMullen of the Chiefs' official site, coach Andy Reid noted in February that Mahomes has been making good progress in that regard, while the star signal-caller previously noted that he wants to be ready for Week 1 yet acknowledged that he "can't predict what happens throughout the process," per ESPN.com.

He finished the season on injured reserve due to a knee injury.

Jets' Justin Fields: Officially placed on IR
The New York Jets placed Justin Fields (knee) on injured reserve Wednesday, Susanna Weir of the team's official site reports.Head coach Aaron Glenn announced Tuesday that Fields would be shut down for the rest of the season due to a knee injury, so the latter's placement on IR was a procedural move to open a spot on the 53-man roster for safety Christopher Smith. Fields posted a 2-7 record across nine starts this season, completing 62.7 percent of his passes for 1,259 yards, seven touchdowns, one interception and 27 sacks while turning 71 carries into 383 yards (5.4 YPC) and four scores. Fields will enter the second year of his two-year, $40 million contract in 2026, though it's unclear whether he'll be part of the Jets' future plans.

Jets' Justin Fields: Shut down for season
New York Jets head coach Aaron Glenn said Tuesday that Justin Fields (knee) is set to be placed on injured reserve.The transaction is likely to be made official Wednesday. Fields hadn't been available the last three games, and though the quarterback resumed practicing in a limited fashion last week, the Jets opted to shut him down after his condition hadn't improved as quickly as the team had hoped. The 26-year-old is under contract through next season, but he's unlikely to be viewed as anything more than a backup option following an unproductive run through the first 11 weeks of 2025. Fields went 2-7 as a starter while completing 62.7 percent of his passes for 6.2 yards per attempt and a 7:1 TD:INT, to go with 383 yards (5.4 per carry) and four scores on the ground. He also lost three fumbles and took 27 sacks on his 231 dropbacks.

Jets' Justin Fields: Serving as emergency QB in Week 16
Justin Fields (knee) is inactive as the New York Jets' emergency No. 3 quarterback for Sunday's game in New Orleans.New York will go with Brady Cook as its starting quarterback for the second week in a row, after neither Tyrod Taylor (groin/knee) and Fields (knee) were available for last Sunday's loss to the Jaguars. Both Taylor and Fields took part in all three of the Jets' practices this week, but Taylor will get the nod as Cook's top backup after putting in a full session Friday, whereas Fields was limited in each practice. The Jets haven't indicated that Cook will retain the starting gig for Weeks 17 and 18, but a strong showing against New Orleans would bolster his odds of holding down the job for the rest of the season.
