Read Justin Fields's fantasy football outlook for Week 5 of the NFL season. Notes, updates, analysis and advice including predictions for his upcoming matchup.
Many in the world of fantasy football are looking forward to the upside that Fields provides to a very boring Bears offense.

This week could prove to be yet another tough game as he will be facing a Raiders defense that ranks 18th in points allowed to the position (18.6 FPPG). Fields' time as a weekly starter in fantasy is coming, but it will not begin this week.
