Is Trevor Siemian or Justin Fields the Bears' Starting QB in Fantasy Football Week 13?

From Weeks 6 through 11, Justin Fields rode his unique dual-threat ability to the overall QB1 position in fantasy football. Fields averaged a league-best 29.42 points by completing 62% of his passes for 963 yards and 10 touchdowns while adding 640 rushing yards and six scores.

Unfortunately, Fields suffered a separated shoulder against the Falcons in Week 11 that ultimately led him to miss Week 12’s game against the Jets, giving veteran quarterback Trevor Siemian the start in a 31-10 loss. 

Chicago will have their bye week in Week 14 and may have a choice of who to start at quarterback in a divisional matchup against the Packers in Week 13. Is Trevor Siemian or Justin Fields starting in Week 13? Check out the answer below.

Is Trevor Siemian or Justin Fields the Bears' Starting QB in Fantasy Football Week 13?

Initially, there was speculation that Justin Fields could miss multiple weeks due to his separated shoulder. However, by the end of this week, Fields was logging a full practice.

If Fields is logging full practices, then he is likely to play in a rivalry game against Green Bay before the bye week. Siemian played fine against the Jets (179 passing yards, one touchdown, one interception), but he just doesn’t provide the same dynamic playmaking ability as Fields. 

All signs point to Fields making the start in Week 13 against Green Bay. Time will tell how much he’s running against the Packers with a bum shoulder, but the potential of his rushing ability is too good to pass up in fantasy if he’s active.
