Introduction

Coming in as the sixth different starting quarterback for the New York Jets since 2016, Justin Fields takes over the role following the departure of Aaron Rodgers. Fields spent last season in Pittsburgh as the backup to Russell Wilson, where he saw limited playing time, primarily playing in specific packages that offered a different look at the position. Before his stint in Pittsburgh, Fields was the starting quarterback for the Chicago Bears. During his three-year tenure in Chicago, his best season came in 2023 when he threw for 2562 yards and 16 touchdowns. However, recurring injury issues in each of those seasons prevented him from playing a full year. It will be fascinating to see how he performs in the Meadowlands, leading a Jets team that has been desperate to make a name for itself in recent years. Let’s take a look at how sportsbooks project Justin Fields in the 2025 NFL season.

Passing Yards

  • DraftKings: 2550.5 (over -120; under +100)
  • ESPN Bet: 2450.5 (over -115; under -115)

The sportsbooks don’t appear particularly optimistic about Justin Fields having a standout season. Each book has a different projection for his passing yards, with ESPN Bet offering the best value on the over, and DraftKings providing the best value on the under. As for Fields’ passing touchdown props, they’re mostly aligned—except for ESPN Bet, which lists his total two touchdowns lower than the others. However, the other sportsbooks are offering better odds on the over. If you’re expecting a low touchdown output from Fields, DraftKings currently offers the best odds for that outcome.

Over his three seasons as a starter, Fields has averaged 2224 passing yards and roughly 13 passing touchdowns per year. Due to injuries and inconsistent play in Chicago, he averaged only about 13 games per season and has yet to complete a full year. This season with the Jets, he’ll be playing behind what is likely the best offensive line of his career, so it will be interesting to see whether that helps keep him healthy and gives him more confidence in the pocket.

Conclusion

The 2025 season feels like a fresh start for both Justin Fields and the New York Jets. The team will be led by new head coach Aaron Glenn, the former Lions defensive coordinator, who brought along Tanner Engstrand, previously Detroit’s pass game coordinator, as offensive coordinator. While this may feel like a clean slate, it’s also very much a trial year for the Jets—and things could go south quickly, as they often do in the NFL. Jets fans, after years of mediocre to poor play, are understandably restless and eager for meaningful progress.  So, we’ll see if Justin Fields can be a catalyst to make that happen.
