BALLER MOVE: Start in 10+ Team Leagues
POSITIONAL VALUE: QB1
ANALYSIS: While Russell Wilson (calf) is officially questionable for Sunday's game against the Denver Broncos, the Steelers have been preparing all week as if Justin Fields will be the starter this weekend. If that winds up being the case, fantasy managers should try to get the young quarterback in their starting lineups in Week 2.
Fields no doubt had a disappointing fantasy performance in Week 1, only totaling 11.9 fantasy points. But his rushing upside gives him such a high fantasy ceiling each week that he's worth plugging into your lineups. Last week, the 25-year-old ran 14 times for 57 yards against the Atlanta Falcons. Now, he has a great matchup upcoming against the Broncos.

Denver gave up over 17 fantasy points to opposing quarterbacks last season and allowed Geno Smith to rush for 30 yards and one touchdown one week ago. So, if Fields is starting for Pittsburgh on Sunday, he should be in for a strong fantasy day.
