Justin Fields
2025 Season Outlooks
Fields moved to New York in the offseason to start for the Jets. He seems like a risky borderline QB1 with top-five upside, but it is hard to actually identify that risk. In 2022 he was QB7 per game in 15 games for the Bears. In 2023 he was QB9 per game if you throw out the one game he left early. Last year he was QB9 in his first six games before the Steelers handed the reigns over to Russell Wilson. This year the QBs behind him are Tyrod Taylor, Brady Cook and Adrian Martinez, so he's probably not getting benched. Fields may not win games in the NFL, but he scores Fantasy points. You can wait until Round 9 to draft him in one-QB leagues, and you may want to draft a steady QB2 just in case, but if Fields stays healthy he is probably going to beat ADP.
Fields signed with the Jets and is expected to spend 2025 as the team's starter. Fields spent the first six games of 2024 as the Steelers' starter and, while his play wasn't good enough to avoid a benching in favor of Russell Wilson, the fantasy results were solid; he averaged 18.9 fantasy PPG during his six starts, which would've ranked eighth over the full season. He threw for only 1,106 yards and five TDs, but made up ground as a rusher, ranking top 5 among QBs in carries, rush yards and rush TDs (QB-best five) during Weeks 1-6. This was after he finished his first three NFL seasons top 5 at the position in rushing yards despite missing games each season. Fields' dual-threat ability and a solid group of targets in Garrett Wilson and Breece Hall will be enough to keep him in the weekly QB1 mix.
