Justin Fields

PITQB • #2

Steelers coach Mike Tomlin said the team is “readying ourselves around” Justin Fields for Week 3 against the Chargers.

Tomlin has refused to outright say Fields has passed Russell Wilson on the depth chart, but his actions tell us everything we need to know. Wilson is still dealing with the calf issue that forced him to miss the first two weeks of the season. Fields, in the meantime, has the team at a 2-0 record, albeit with one touchdown on the board. The former Bear has 22 carries for 84 yards this year but has done next to nothing as a passer, throwing for 273 yards in total with a lone touchdown. Fantasy managers can treat him as a low-ceiling QB2 for his upcoming game versus the Chargers.
