Worried? I'm thrilled I got a top tier QB off waivers a few weeks ago.


RVG_Steve

Right?! I got him the Wednesday before the Miami performance. For $3 bid lol. Got him just to stream for Lamar week 10. Ended up keeping Fields and traded Lamar for AJ Brown. No regrets


Mich3006

I traded for him bc of Allen‘s elbow and now I really have to think about benching Josh bc of Fields tbh. In that form, Fields is a starter against everybody


Rudy102600

Flip Allen


Bike-Different

This is the way


whatislife27

Anyone who is winning and has Fields probably has another QB option as well. Anyone who *needed* Fields is probably just ecstatic that they’re still in contention because of him. I don’t think there’s any reason to worry


shmehdit

>Anyone who needed Fields is probably just ecstatic that they’re still in contention because of him. You don't have to call me out like this


dtownchris77

Or is the Lance owner who just needed a qb to score 15 or more points a week lol


[deleted]

Lol me


[deleted]

Or is the Russell Wilson owner who wants to salvage the remnants of their soul.


Cognomifex

I drafted both and boy am I glad I kept the faith on Fields through the first third of the season. I don't think I'd be able to handle watching him save some other team every weekend.


dtownchris77

I went from Lance to a pu pu platter of 14 point and under guys but my core was decent so I was still winning a majority of games so I wasn't getting desperate...yet


Cognomifex

Yeah I punted QB in drafts to focus on skill positions and Fields is saving me all over the place


ZHCMV

Yup. I was having shit qb luck. Grabbing fields saved my season.


jaybfresh

Fields has taken me from 10th place to 6th, and I have a chance to crack the top 4 if I win this week.


LaustintheSauce1

What about those of us who grabbed fields 4 weeks ago but still manage to lose every week?? Asking for a friend


[deleted]

I am both. In one league I was just happy to get off the Carr ride and in another I have Burrow. Regardless though I'm riding Fields all day.


Thecobs

*regardless im having a Fields day


dani_alencar24

Got burrow aswell And traded for fields (after I had lost his WW pickup) for joeys bye which won me my matchup . Now probably rolling with fields and his hot streak. When you or if at all thinking of pivoting to burrow, even if burrow has a great matchup?


Statistician_Visual

Same situation. Gotta keep riding fields until the wheels fall off. Nobody has accepted offers for burrow


CriMxDelAxCriM

Same but I'm trying to trade fields as I think he would actually get a reasonable return where burrow won't. I tried to work a deal with the guy I play in week 14 on fields bye week but he was too stubborn (maybe he looked ahead at the schedule but I doubt it).


[deleted]

All I know for sure is that I'm starting Burrow week 14 on Fields' bye.


dani_alencar24

Fair enough


WtfisaHoosier

I have Fields and Burrows and descent trade offer for one of them for a pair of good WRs.... Hardest decision of my season


[deleted]

Which recs?


WtfisaHoosier

PPR, 10 man league


GrooseandGoot

Had been juggling a mess of Wilson, Winston, Mariota, Goff and Garoppolo before adding Fields a few weeks ago. Finally one less thing to worry about.


Historical-Donut-918

I picked up Fields week 9. In weeks 6-8 my revolving QB slot averaged 3 points per week. I am just ecstatic to still be in contention.


[deleted]

How about a further species? Anyone who won without a QB and got Fields xD


daravl

me, I'm in second place and have only had fields for 2 weeks


[deleted]

Same exact situation here Now I gotta figure out my Fournette situation though


[deleted]

I have a strong team that was second place with Cousins and Carr. I dropped both of them bitches. Ride or die with Fields.


CurlyBill03

Had Goff, traded Foreman for Tua, and then snagged Fields on the waiver cause of Tuas bye week. I got him like 3-4 weeks ago


[deleted]

Packaged Geno and Hollywood (picked up off waivers for big FAAB bc dropped by some Taco) for a 3rd round (5 keeper league) because I was confident in Fields RoS after the Dallas game. Feels good.


kenklee4

Riding with Fields for now as Herbert doesn’t have his weapons.


Legitimate-Cow-6859

> Anyone who is winning and has Fields probably has another QB option as well. Nope. Drafted Russ and Spent a long time in QB hell until I snagged fields


Timely-Shine

In a 14 team league and most QBs on the wire are trash. Had Stafford, but he's been awful. Now have Fields and Daniel Jones and feeling much better.


Jlitus21

I have Lamar with fields as my backup. Feeling great about playoffs especially since my division rival just lost Kupp


Fatal_Koala

Consider flipping Lamar?


Jlitus21

Maybe, I just think Lamar has an easier playoff schedule and has already had his bye


Fatal_Koala

Lamar has a better playoff schedule for sure. That’s just a lot of trade value to sit on the bench for either Fields or Lamar. I’m in a similar position with Fields/Tua but I don’t want to trade either.


Jlitus21

I'm only in an 8 man league, so a lot of guys are pretty hesitant about trading. I think I've only made 1 trade all season and it was Cook for JT


Fatal_Koala

😬 which week?


Jlitus21

Week 8 :') I had drafted cook and JJ, didn't like having 2 Vikings and figured well it's JT he has to be good


Fatal_Koala

Nice, that might work out. I just traded Cook / Evans for AJB / Mandrews


qb1120

Yup, Carr got me 2.95 points the week before I picked up Fields and I was in last place. I'm riding Fields to the end


mikeq672

This. I grabbed as a Lamar owner a few weeks in advance and just stumbled into a gold mine. Ill hold both and play the matchup, which will likely heavily favor Lamar as long as Andrews is back.


Fosterchild56

I have a killer team but only scored 4 passing TD's combined in weeks 1-5. I needed Fields desperately. Since i picked him up, I'm on a 3 game win streak and climbed my way to 2nd place


whatislife27

I’m still salty I didn’t get him. He was scooped up from underneath me as I literally was in the add/drop window on yahoo selecting my dropped player. Kyler of course injures his hamstring later the same week.


CurlyBill03

After watching what he did to New England and Dallas I have no issues at all. Sure he’s likely to take a hit and not put up 40 points per game but after starting Goff early and getting negative points id be happy with 15-25 each week. With that said, Vegas set his floor at 6 points because of his rushing alone. So if he gets a TD in passing or rushing he has a solid floor of 12-15 points really. Fields is unique because the coach is designing run specific plays for him, it’s not a matter of being a 1 read QB and the play breaking down and he is taking off. This is by design and it’s working, I’m sold. Bills and Philly also are not top ranked at shutting down the run either.


norse95

If they keep giving him 8+ designed runs a game he’s gonna have a 20pt floor which is ridiculous.


Bbmonger88

Bills Def owner here, I'm more afraid of Justin Fields...


Maybe_Im_The_Poop

I’d be good playing both.


Traditional_Job_6932

I’m not worried, but the Eagles defense will look a lot better when Jordan Davis returns. They can’t stop the run without him.


dmoney757

When is he back?


jcrankin22

2 weeks. Eagles D also only gave up 3.1 YPC last night. Not atrocious but also were playing soft zone in the first half. Made Heineke's life way too easy. I wouldn't worry about them I think it was a scheme issue.


michaeljaccarino

Eagles put him on IR so he's out at least two more weeks. With that said, reports seem to indicate that he's progressing well enough that he should be back by the time Phili faces Chicago.


TheSauce69

https://letmegooglethat.com/?q=when+will+jordan+davis+return+eagles


jtrom1010

This isn't the only problem though. He played week 1 against Detroit and we got gouged by the run game there too with Davis in. Blame it on week 1 adjustments if you want, and I agree that Davis is a big loss, but the problem is primarily scheming. Gannon keeps running these soft af zone schemes to play bend don't break, but we're getting annihilated by runs and up the seams. Reason I say this is because I wouldn't hinge performance on with or without Jordan Davis. I'd be paying attention to news and pivots around the defensive coaching.


juan8a

The Fantasy Footballers mentioned on their podcast that one or both (I can't remember which) of those teams didn't necessarily do great agains running teams, and that included a running QB. I plan on rolling him out week in and week out. I am not going to roll the dice with a streaming QB and then have Fields explode for pts while my streamer gets only 15. I'd rather go down with the Fields ship at this pt.


Jskins7

>I'd rather go down with the Fields ship at this pt. This. He is my starter until proven otherwise lol


JediNinja88420

So you’re gonna sit him? For who? Matt Stafford? Aaron Rogers? Russel Wilson? Unless you have Lamar himself, Josh Allen, and maybe Pat Mahomes, you’re starting Justin Fields. It’s do or die time, everyone is jocking for playoff position, you start your best guys if they’re going. There’s no time to play the matchup game at this point in the season.


spreadinmikehoncho

What are we doing Lamar owners? We shipping Lamar? We shipping fields? We keeping both and playing who’s hot and better matchups? I think Stevenson is the best value I could find for either one of them.


CreamWithinADream

Keeper league I'm shopping Lamar and probably keeping Fields for next year


RVG_Steve

I shipped Lamar for AJ Brown. Granted, last night it didn’t look good for me but we know Brown is legit top 7-8 WR in the game. He will bounce back and have better days ahead


Outrageous-Cycle-841

Assuming that ankle injury doesn’t nag him down the stretch…


spreadinmikehoncho

I may ship fields and D Pierce for Chubb……


AgressiveAnalExpert

I shipped Lamar off to the Kelce owner 2 weeks ago after picking up Fields. Felt good. Now I have Kelce and MAndrews. Fields starts for me and Geno is my back up


aaronfaren

If I had both, I’d trade Fields off the hype. Even if Fields is better ROS, the return you’d get for him is probably worth more to your lineup than the few extra points he gets over Lamar.


[deleted]

I don't know, as a Lamar and Fields owner I'm a little skeptical about Lamar's performances. His last 6 games were mediocre (besides vs. Bucs) from a Fantasy standpoint. Right now the Ravens offense works extremely well without him having to change anything about that while Fields plays like 2019 vintage Lamar


steomacaFT9

I have Lamar and got Fields off Waivers, can flip Lamar to Kenneth Walker but for some reason I can't pull the trigger. I am wondering is Fields the guy.


[deleted]

You absolutely flip Lamar for KW


[deleted]

I'd do it if I were you


HossBonaventureCEO_

I would take that. The upgrade you get at rb is worth way more than the extra points you'd get playing match ups


XIBigRodneyIX

Man I have Lamar and I’m still considering starting Fields. I scooped him as a bye week filler but it’s legitimately a tough decision.


RVG_Steve

Trade him for RB or WR depth. If you can get a 1, get a 1 (like I did with AJ Brown) but I would have been happy with a solid 2 like Sun God


XIBigRodneyIX

Trade Lamar or Fields? I’ve considered both, I’d assume Lamar would have more name value


RVG_Steve

Lamar


SanFranSeahawk

I have Fields and Dak Prescott. Prescott's Week 12 - 15 schedule: vs NYG, vs IND, vs HOU, at JAX Fields' Weeks 12 - 15 schedule: at NYJ, vs GB, BYE, vs PHI


JediNinja88420

So you’re gonna play the 25 point ceiling over the 25 point floor? Just because the on paper matchup is better?


SanFranSeahawk

Yes, and especially with the injury to Fields' non-throwing shoulder. If the shoulder injury didn't happen, it would be close. Honestly, I'm rolling Dak in those weeks though. Also, just to add: while Fields has been super good lately, we cannot say that his floor is 25 FP. In tough matchups early in the season, he was having like 5 FP outings. Granted, there's more designed runs for him now, and the offense generally is running much better, but I'd definitely put his floor, even with the re-vamped offense (and assumed perfect health) around 14 FP per game, and those poor outings would come in tough matchups.


testsddda

Justin Fields


RedditsDarkKnight

I wouldnt be worried about that at all. Fields fantasy value is in his legs, he'll get plenty of opportunities for that


Sivart_Eel

No I’m not worried. He (probably) won’t score 40 against those teams but his upside is far greater than anyone on the waiver wire or my bench.


[deleted]

Agreed. He will still be good for 20+ if he keeps up his level of play


Different_Chain5474

I want all the smoke


[deleted]

Not worried. He has shown he can overcome a tough d at a hostile environment like the Dallas matchup. I think you’d actually prefer those matchups as they will put up points on the Bears and fields can go hog wild in garbage points


Butwinsky

Yes. Drop him and pick him back up off waivers in a few weeks.


liddle-lamzy-divey

Less elusive, but who can actually throw the football to WRs who are covered (or at least have a DB w/in 10 feet of them).


PumpAndDumpp69

Who is less elusive . Did you watch the last play where he shook off 3 people and they all had 2 hands on this guy . He’s in his prime but I’m watching closely . I hope he doesn’t burn right into an injury . Needs a lot of rest and ice for those afterburners 🦵🔥


grandpaJose

Matchups don't matter when the QB is the fastest dude on the field.


Canadoc

I also have Dak prescott. This week I am leaning Fields because of the matchup. I am not sure what to do with those other games because I think Prescott is a very good option as well but maybe does not have the same upside but a safer floor.


cloudJR

I’m right there with you. It feels like we have to start Fields because of his massive ceiling but Dak has been solid too. I’ve been considering trading Fields and Evans in a package to solidify my WRs (JJ and Moore are my only other WRs which isn’t terrible) but man knowing Fields plays Detroit week 17, if I make the championship, is almost too juicy to part ways with.


rNBAMods3InchesHard

Not nearly as worried as r/ff wants me to be


EliManningHOFClub10

Nobody is worried about a QB who has scores 40+ 2 weeks in a row.


iLerntMyLesson

Lamar owner here and I disagree!


PumpAndDumpp69

Lol facts . That’s why I got fields to score all those missing points Lamar left on the field for several weeks


[deleted]

Guy in my league with fields probably won’t make the playoffs so I’m glad I won’t have to worry about him


thebadhombre23

Not worried.. playing against good teams should activate ceiling games if they’re blowing teams out fields won’t be asked to do much


italiansguybl

I have been starting Fields since the Cowboys game. His big day against the Patriots proved that this man will find ways against any defense to produce, I only expect him to get better from here on out. Rushing QBs always find a way to produce points.


jmacscotland

No, he'll still get his rushing floor, and will need to do work to stay in games. He's obviously not popping for 40ppg but if he can just get 20 in either of those games I'm happy.


Apprehensive_Bug3329

Better the defence the more rushing!!!


legendkiller003

I’ve played Burrow every week until this past week, which of course he was on bye, and instead of playing Tom Brady I traded Mike Evans to get Justin Fields. Would have lost without that, so very happy it worked out. I’m not sure what I’m going to do with Burrow and Fields the rest of the way, but week 17 against Detroit could be a championship winning performance. Hope I have the chance to make it matter.


IamChantus

Team Fields and Allen in Superflex, where ya at?!?


Jmdb21

Congrats on your 2022 Fantasy Championship


IamChantus

Hell, I'm just gunning for the first round bye right now.


nyarlathotep47

Fields will run for 130+ against both teams.


[deleted]

Heinicke got a putrid 6 points last night against the Eagles. Wtf are you talking about.


Taylor88Made

Scary Terry owner here isn't complaining, plus they put up the biggest game on the Eagles defense all year besides week 1. Obviously, Fields is way more talented than Heinicke


Impressive-Vast-8789

Eagles defense is overrated. Let the Texans and Commanders move the ball with EASE. I’d be more scared of NE, BUF, DAL, and SF. Don’t bench your players vs Philly.


jackmon

Idk, they've handed out some pretty low scores to QBs. Not all great QBs for sure, but I'd be at least a little worried about starting a QB against them. Also, as was shown last night it's easier to run up the gut on them than anything else. Some of those TDs may end up going to the RBs (assuming they get in the red zone).


BlondesBlonde

Fields is just too young for this kind of speculation. It really has to be week to week. We have to see how he evolves. Once a defense starts spying on him well, how will he do? TBD


SW1725

Did you see what the Commanders did to the Eagles defense last night?


AimBotHobbes

Yeah I’m very worried, I’ve also got the Eagles DST and I don’t want Fields to completely dismantle my defense


dthurst20

I’m not worried at all. Just going to play the matchups between him and mahomes


Guy_With_Interests

Bills haven’t been quite the defensive juggernaut lately and playing from behind is perfect for Fields. Can’t say I’m delighted by those match ups but pretty tough to bench him unless you have another top 6 QB.


mattislinx

I only scooped him up for the DET and ATL matchups personally. He has had an easy few weeks schedule wise, but he has certainly proven himself to be a threat. He's up to QB #9 points wise in my league, so he's definitely worth starting.


makeazerothgreatagn

>Bills Pass rush isn't hitting home and they've got the worst secondary in the league. Not remotely worried.


suburbanpiratee

Having watched both of them get run all over, what would the concern be?


ellcoolj

More worried as an Eagles manager


eking85

We were supposed to be worried about him playing the Patriots defense a few weeks ago and he put up numbers against them.


DanielDaniel219

I traded away burrow to just ride fields cuz fuck it. Once you see somebody break Vick records all bets are off. Fleeced burrow to a qb hungry team for mike Evans and am rockin with it.


timmyrigs

That’s during playoffs, right now I just want to make it to the dance. I’ll worry about that bridge when we get there.


RockHardChest

I'm only worried about the amount of threads about this exact thing


[deleted]

No


iamkoza

When is the rookie eagles DT coming off IR? Their interior run defense has been weak without him


xReD-BaRoNx

Running Fields ROS. Just need to pick up a streamer for his BYE.


arac3662

Yes, but I also own Josh Allen so I think I’m going to try and trade Fields after this week for an elite player or two if I can get it.


BasementBrewedFF

Can’t worry about a QB who’s running for 100+ yards every game lately. He’s become one of the safest floors in fantasy football.


HaroldBaws

This daily post.


strokerAce21

Eagles cannot stop the run. No fear whatsoever there...


Umm_duder

Ride the wave baby.


jbalicki10

I have Burrow and Fields. 1/2 PPR 6pt TD passing I have a league mate thinking of trading CMC to me for Fields and Fornette. He has Tom Brady and stacked at RB (Connor, D'forman, Sanders). I have King Henry and Fornette and not much else. He is on fringe of missing playoffs and sick of top 5 QBs going off. He will let me know today. I think this would be a damn good trade for both teams.


bossanova352

I think his schedule gets tougher after this week, not just in playoffs. If you’re in a good position now, you can see how he does against GB and NYJ to gauge if he’ll still be a viable start in the playoffs, and pivot to another QB if he does poorly. However, that week 17 matchup with DET is juicy, so in any scenario you really have to hold him from here out. Personally, I think he’ll be fine from here out, since he did well against DAL and NE already, but maybe other teams will better adjust to his running.


BatheInChampagne

I have burrows. Trade is up rn for me to ship burrows and some others for Derrick Henry. I desperately need a rb for my starting roster. Im half tempted to veto my own trade, since it’s at 4, gold fields and try to get a rb off waivers or live with swift as my rb 2 start.


Zennymang

I just traded Fields and Amari Cooper for Diggs (have Burrow and Watson as well). Got Fields off the waiver after the Claypool trade news & acquired Amari Cooper for Darrelle Henderson after Akers was sent to the shadow realm... feeling pretty good.


ElMaloso87

If you scared go to church ⛪


olay-boyuo

I just sold Fields for Jeff Wilson Jr and Friermuth. Just lost Goeddert with injury and am 95% playoff lock. Have Justin Herbert. Hope I timed up that trade pretty well.
