Justin Fields

NFL Network’s Ian Rapoport reports Steelers QB Justin Fields could start beyond Week 2.

Fields is expected to start versus the Broncos this week. Russell Wilson is listed as questionable because of his lingering calf injury, but the team has prepared for Fields to start all week. It would be too late in the process to make a change, even if Wilson is healthy enough to play. Head coach Mike Tomlin told reporters earlier in the week that Pittsburgh’s depth chart remains unchanged, meaning Wilson is the QB1 when healthy. However, it will be nearly impossible to return to Wilson if Fields gets the team to 2-0 and doesn’t make any major mistakes. For fantasy purposes, Fields’ rushing production puts him on the QB1 border for any start he makes.
