POSITIONAL VALUE: QB8
ANALYSIS: Pittsburgh Steelers quarterback Justin Fields has had an up-and-down 2024 season. The veteran quarterback has had some impressive moments. Unfortunately, he has struggled with accuracy at times. More importantly, Fields is the QB8 for the year, averaging 17.9 fantasy points per game.

Fields has been outstanding on the ground after a slow start this season, totaling 44 rushing attempts for 172 yards and three touchdowns. He has scored 15.9 or more fantasy points in three consecutive contests.
Fields has a fantasy-friendly matchup in Week 6 against the Las Vegas Raiders. They have surrendered 17.3 fantasy points per game to quarterbacks this year. Furthermore, the Raiders have given up 23.1 or more fantasy points in two of their past three matchups, with the lone exception being the game against Deshaun Watson.

BALLER MOVE: Start in all leagues POSITIONAL VALUE: Borderline WR2 With Upside ANALYSIS: Detroit Lions wide receiver Jameson Williams has an abnormally high drop rate, which isn't great for his potential to earn more targets in his offense.
