2024 Fantasy Outlook
Armed with the first pick in this year’s draft, the Bears cut bait on Fields, the 11th overall pick from 2021, and traded him to the Steelers for a mere sixth-rounder. Fields is expected to back up Russell Wilson, though the team hasn't given any guarantees for the Week 1 starting job, with coach Mike Tomlin only saying that Wilson has "pole position." The biggest problem for Fields is that his accuracy has not improved much through three years. Last season, he ranked 28th in the league in on-target percentage (68.1) and 29th in completion percentage (61.4). His downfield passing, though, greatly improved (thank you, DJ Moore). Not only did Fields look downfield often -- his average target depth was 8.0 yards (11th), throwing deep on 14.3 percent of attempts (2nd) -- he was on target with 51.9 percent of his attempts of 20-plus yards (11th) with seven TDs and two INTs. Those are better numbers than Wilson’s, by the way. Fields’ fantasy value, though, is built on rushing. Despite missing four and a half games with a thumb injury, he was second among QBs with 657 rushing yards and ran for four scores. Fields finished as QB6 the year prior and has more potential fantasy value than Wilson, but the 25-year-old might not get the chance to show it in 2024, the final season of his rookie contract.

Modest yardage in Week 5 loss
Fields completed 15 of 27 passes for 131 yards and two touchdowns in Sunday's 20-17 loss to the Cowboys. He added six rushing attempts for 27 yards.
ANALYSIS
Fields had more rushing attempts (five) than completed passes (four) in the first half, but the Steelers were down only 6-3 at halftime. He went to the blue medical tent with the independent neurologist after taking a big hit on the first possession of the second half, per Alan Saunders of SteelersNow.com, but Fields returned two plays later and eventually capped the drive with a go-ahead 16-yard touchdown pass to Connor Heyward. Pittsburgh's offense went quiet again for two drives after that before waking up for a 12-play, 63-yard touchdown drive that culminated in a six-yard Fields touchdown pass to Pat Freiermuth with 4:56 remaining. Fields did enough to put the Steelers in position to improve to 4-1, but the Cowboys scored the game-winning touchdown with 20 seconds remaining. Russell Wilson (calf) still wasn't healthy enough to make his season debut against Dallas, but even if the veteran quarterback gains clearance to suit up against the Raiders in Week 6, he's unlikely to take the starting job despite Fields' slow start in the Week 5 loss.

Past Fantasy Outlooks
2023
2022
2021
Fields finished sixth in fantasy scoring among quarterbacks last season, almost completely thanks to rushing production. He had the second most rushing yards by a QB in league history and added eight rushing touchdowns in 15 games. Fields ran for at least 70 yards three times, including totals of 132, 147 and an all-time QB-record 178 in Week 9. His passing, though, did not improve much from his woeful rookie season. Fields ranked 29th in on-target percentage (68.2) and 31st in completion percentage (60.4). His 3.5 INT rate ranked 32nd of 33 qualified QBs, and despite his big arm, Fields ranked among the least effective QBs for downfield passing by most metrics. But Fields had little help in an offense devoid of playmakers. That’s why the Bears traded this year’s No. 1 overall pick to the Panthers for standout WR DJ Moore (and more draft picks). Moore gives Fields a legitimate No. 1 receiver and allows Darnell Mooney to return to a secondary role after being miscast last year (before a Week 12 season-ending injury). Chase Claypool, a non-factor last year after a midseason trade, could have a bigger role after an offseason to dive into OC Luke Getsy’s playbook. At tight end, Cole Kmet and Robert Tonyan are both capable pass catchers. The offensive line is a potential weak point, but 10th overall pick Darnell Wright should immediately upgrade RT. Fields at least has a better set up entering his third season, so even if his rushing regresses slightly, modest improvements in accuracy and passing volume could push him into the top 5 of fantasy quarterbacks.

Latest Fantasy Rumors
Wilson not close to return?
Fields could be in line to remain Pittsburgh's uncontested starter for a few additional weeks, as Jeremy Fowler of ESPN reports that Russell Wilson still isn't moving at regular speed due to his calf injury.
ANALYSIS
Wilson apparently made the injury worse by practicing and playing in preseason as he tried to ensure he won the team's quarterback competition against Fields. Instead, Fields got to begin the season as the starter, while Wilson still isn't healthy enough to play. With the Steelers sitting at 3-0 with Fields at quarterback, Fields has a chance to hold onto the starting job even once Wilson gains clearance to play.
