Buffalo Bills vs New York Jets projected starting lineup and depth chart for Week 2 | 2025 NFL season

The New York Jets lost 34–32 to the Pittsburgh Steelers in their season opener last Thursday despite a valiant effort. It was also the regular-season debut for quarterback Justin Fields, and he had a strong performance, recording 16 completions for 218 yards and a touchdown while adding 12 rushes for 48 rushing yards and two more touchdowns.

New York's journey is not going to get any less difficult after their Week 1 setback, as they are scheduled to take on the Buffalo Bills next.

The Bills will look to go 2-0 on the season at MetLife Stadium on Sunday after defeating the Baltimore Ravens 41-40 in a comeback win last week.

Here, we'll look at the projected starting lineups for the Sunday afternoon matchup between the Bills and the Jets.
