Justin Fields

PITQB • #2

Justin Fields completed 14-of-24 passes for 145 yards in a 32-13 Week 6 win over the Raiders, adding 59 yards rushing and two touchdowns.

Fields did just enough as a passer. He showed good presence in the pocket, constantly eluding defenders and creating opportunities for himself down field. Unfortunately, he wasn’t able to take advantage of many of those opportunities with his arm. Still, his skill as a runner gives him added fantasy value, and the Steelers’ usage of run-pass options at the goal line allows for plenty of Fields rushing touchdown upside in the coming weeks. It’s hard to see him giving this job back, which makes him a clear QB2 in all formats, even next week against the Jets.
