Justin Fields is a fantasy football waiver wire pickup option for quarterbacks. Target him as a free agent add off waivers for Week 4 of the 2024 NFL season.
BALLER MOVE: Add in 14+ Team Leagues
ROSTERED IN: 16% of Leagues
ANALYSIS: Pittsburgh Steelers quarterback Justin Fields was supposed to be the team's backup this year behind Russell Wilson, but Wilson has yet to see the field, and Fields is doing his best to prove he can be the team's starter even after Wilson is healthy.
I think the most positive thing from today's game -- the Steelers need Justin Fields to step up and elevate the team around him.
He did just that.

After two games where the Steelers offense didn't do a ton while squeaking out wins, Fields finally had a strong game on Sunday against the Chargers. He was 25-for-32 for 245 yards with a touchdown and an interception in the 20-10 victory.
Fields finished with his lowest rushing total of the year, gaining just six yards on six carries, but he wound up with a rushing touchdown to make up for that.
His ability to make plays on the ground makes him a high-upside fantasy option. If you need a quarterback in fantasy right now, Fields is worth adding, even with the lingering question of if Wilson will take over.
