Throughout the offseason, NewYorkJets.com reporters Eric Allen, Ethan Greenberg, Randy Lange and Caroline Hendershot will give their responses to a series of questions regarding the Jets.

Today's question: How Many Total Yards and TDs Will Justin Fields Have in the 2025 Season?

EA: I think we're about to see a career year from Justin Fields. Playing 15 games with the Bears in 2022, Fields totaled 3,385 yards (2,242 pass and 1,143 rush) and 25 TDs (17 pass and 8 rush). A year later, Fields set a personal best with 2,562 yards passing and added 657 yards on the ground, finishing with 3,219 yards and 20 TDs (16 pass and 4 rush). His short-term success last season in Pittsburgh was well-documented, combining for 1,395 yards (1,106 pass and 289 rush) and 10 TDs (5 rush and 5 pass) over 6 starts and 10 appearances. If he starts 15 games, I'll set the floor at 2,625 yards passing and 825 yards rushing, which would amount to 3,450 yards. Fields is a dynamic dual threat and while 30 total TDs is certainly possible – let's say 27.

EG: I'm going with 28 total touchdowns. Justin Fields has proven to be a dynamic runner and with the Jets' combination of their impressive offensive line and skill players, defenses will have to choose where to devote their attention in the red zone. It wouldn't surprise me if Fields had at least 7 rushing scores. Total yards is difficult to forecast without knowing OC Tanner Engstrand's plan. Head coach Aaron Glenn said the team would let Fields "play quarterback" and not be reliant on his running. Fields had career passing numbers last year in Pittsburgh and he could be on the precipice of a career year. I'll say he should be around 3,500, if not more.

RL: As Justin Fields said last week about OC Tanner Engstrand:, "He wants us to be the most explosive offense in the NFL and we're going to work to be that." Me being selfish about it, I'd love to see the Jets' new signal-caller lead that explosive O and improve in 2025 on most of the best figures of his previous four NFL seasons. Taking his season totals in his pro starts only and translating each figure to a 17-game season, Fields reaching 3,500 passing yards would surpass his recalculated best of 3,350 with Chicago in '23 and 4,500 total yards (passing plus rushing, not including sacks) would top his career best of 4,209, also in '23. As for touchdowns, 25 passing scores would be sweet after his extrapolated 19- and 21-TD seasons in 2022-23. Now it really would be unfair to project Fields to match his 1,143 rush yards in '22 or his nearly 1-rush-TD-per-start pace (5 in 6 starts) from last year with Pittsburgh. But he and I and everyone in Jets Nation would still love to see him thrive with, say, 3,897 pass yards (Aaron Rodgers' '24 total), 4,500 total yards, and 35 TDs responsible for. Each of those three figures would have come in seventh among NFL QBs last season, and that wouldn't be a bad start to the next phase of Fields' career as the Jets' new No. 7.

CH: I think Justin Fields will have 3,450 total yards in 2025. Fields totaled 3,385 yards in 2022 and totaled 3,219 in 2023, when he played 10 or more games in each of those seasons. If you average those two seasons, you get 3,303 yards. I think Fields was playing even better last year in 2024, but didn't get to play more than 6 games. If he continues to trend upward in his development as a QB and uses the weapons he has around him with Garrett Wilson, Breece Hall and others, I think his total number of yards will be his best yet. I am excited to see him flourish under Aaron Glenn and Tanner Engstrand's offense.
