News: 9 hours agoFields failed to complete his lone pass attempt while rushing three times for 26 yards during Thursday's 24-19 loss to the Browns.

Spin: Fields was out with the offense for three snaps during last week's win over the Ravens, and his snap count increased slightly Thursday, with most of his action coming in the second half, when the snow made passing conditions difficult. He's been efficient during his limited action over the last two games, averaging 8.6 yards per carry on five rushing attempts, but he remains firmly in the No. 2 role behind Russell Wilson and is unlikely to have much of a fantasy impact as long as he continues to see minimal snaps.

ESPN Fantasy Projection: After spending his first three seasons with Chicago, Fields was traded to Pittsburgh, where he will compete with Russell Wilson for the starting job. Fields, who finished as QB7 in 2022, posted a career high in passing yards last season, but his rushing totals declined, as he dropped from 7.1 yards per carry to 5.3. Fields possesses the high-level arm talent to attack vertically and the physical tools to create big plays as a runner, which give him breakout-game potential. He's worth drafting only if he wins the starting job, though.
