BALLER MOVE: Add in 2QB Leagues
ROSTERED IN: 39% of Leagues
ANALYSIS: It can't be argued that Justin Fields has had a rough start to his sophomore season. It took Fields three games to complete 23 passes... in total. Fields only hit double-digit completions in Week 4 when facing the Giants away from home. The good thing, though, is that Fields has grown a bit on a weekly basis and he's finally reaching a level at which he should at least enter the fantasy conversation.
Fields put up a measly 38.5 FP through Week 4 of this season with only one game worth of a top-24/QB2 finish among those outings (Week 1, 14.6 FP for a QB21 finish back then). That compares to Fields' 33.4 FP over the last two games alone, nearly the same outcome as in the prior four, only playing half the quarters. That's stepping up right there.
Fields is coming off an extraordinary game against Washington in which not only did he complete 14 passes and threw one touchdown, but he also showed once and for all his rushing ceiling carrying the rock 12 times for 88 yards.
Now, it should be added that Fields got absolutely pummeled by the Commanders and was clearly banged up throughout the whole game – which doesn't necessarily mean that he will miss any time as he remained on the field without any serious trouble.
It will take a bit more for Fields to be a must-roster player in most fantasy leagues, let alone a starter, but the truth is that his numbers are getting much healthier and more interesting each passing week and if he can at least stay above the 15-FP barrier he should be a viable option for those deploying 2QB/Superflex options or playing in really (really, for now at least) deep leagues.
