Justin Fields - 2025 Dynasty Fantasy Football Sleepers and Trade Targets

Justin Fields is a dynasty fantasy football sleeper and trade target for 2025. Read the fantasy football outlook for the New York Jets quarterback.

RotoBaller Dynasty Ranking: QB23

Dynasty Analysis: Justin Fields posted a 4-2 record in six games as the Steelers' starter last year before being benched in favor of Russell Wilson. Despite the benching, Fields still managed to provide results for fantasy managers, thanks in large part to his legs. He scored five rushing touchdowns in his six starts and finished as a QB1 three times.

Fields eventually opted not to re-sign with Pittsburgh this offseason and instead signed a two-year, $40 million contract with the New York Jets.

Now that Fields has landed a starting job, he is an immediate QB1 option for fantasy owners. However, it's worth noting that the 2026 quarterback class is supposedly very strong. If the Jets wind up with a top-10 pick next year, they could very well take a quarterback. Fields may be just a placeholder.

While all that might be true, he is set to begin the 2025 season as the Jets' undisputed QB1. If Fields performs well enough and New York wins just enough games, there is a chance the team bypasses a quarterback in the 2026 NFL Draft and Fields remains QB1.

There's certainly a lot of risk here, but Fields is a good target for managers in trades or startup drafts. He offers managers a safe floor and is a great fantasy option whenever he’s on the field. Many fantasy managers might be willing to part with him at a discount.
