| Mark Ringo Sleepers and Busts | The free agent signing of Orlando Brown should pay dividends for Joe Burrow and the Bengals' offense. Brown will fortify Burrow's blind side at left tackle. This should permeate throughout the offense. If Burrow has time, he'll slice up defenses like the head of the household slices up a turkey on Thanksgiving. There hasn't been this much excitement in Cincinnati since the great turkey giveaway promotion by legendary sitcom radio station WKRP. Famous last words, it should have worked. I planned this QB ranking down to the last detail. As God as my witness, I thought turkeys could fly haha! -Ringo "The Big Guy" Carlson | Last year I had Justin Fields on my bust list. Yeah, that turned out well haha! Note in 2021 Mark Ringo ranked 203 out of like 230 analysts in the Fantasy Pros Draft Accuracy Contest! Hey, anyone can finish first, it takes real talent to be that awful at ranking players haha! What can I say, I'm a natural haha! Anyway, I digress, speaking of talent, it wasn't that I thought Fields lacked talent. It was because of the situation he was in. New coaching staff, a new playbook, and a terrible offensive line. I thought he'd be running for his life. I was at least right about that. I was wrong in that no one caught him and he didn't get beaten to a pulp by 300 lb. defensive linemen haha! Anyway, the Bears' offensive line should be better in 2023. They signed Nate Davis in free agency and then took promising young rookie Darnell Wright in the 1st round of the draft. Wright stonewalled Crimson Tide star DE Will Anderson when Tennessee played Alabama last season. One thing about Fields, he is very accurate. He needs to improve his blitz recognition and get the ball out quicker though. (Trivia question, who was the last QB to throw for over 4,000 yards for the Bears? Answer- at the bottom.) The additions of D.J. Moore and Robert Tonyan should also help. Fields' current ADP is at QB 6. That's a bit high for me. I like a few other QBs better. I'd expect Fields' rushing attempts to go down. If that happens, he'll need to make up the difference by passing for more yards and TDs. We shall see. Answer- Never. It would have been Mark Ringo, but he's too busy contending for titles in fantasy football accuracy contests haha!! |
| Ellis Johnson True North Fantasy Football | Joe Shiesty slides in as not only the coolest QB on the list but also the sixth for fantasy purposes. Burrow carries all the ability of the top five but is limited due to his lack of rushing. He has the best WR core in the league and the team continues to bolster their offensive line. He's a locked-in top-10 QB for fantasy purposes and could easily crack the top five. | Honestly, I'm skeptical of Fields' passing attack. Despite my love for Lamar and his passing ability, I have not seen enough from Fields to project that development. Although D.J. Moore helps this offense a lot, his rushing ability is what ranks him here. The real question is can he pull a Hurts and have double-digit rushing touchdowns? If he does he's elite, because I struggle to see him surpassing the 20-passing TD mark. |
| Pat Fitzmaurice FantasyPros | Brimming with swag and surrounded by ample pass-catching weaponry, Joe Burrow has firmly established himself as a premium fantasy quarterback. Burrow finished QB4 in fantasy scoring last season after throwing a career-high 35 TD passes. Over the last two years, Burrow has completed 69.3% of his throws, averaging 8.1 yards per attempt. He added some value with his legs in 2022, running for five touchdowns. Burrow gets to throw to the fabulous WR duo of Ja'Marr Chase and Tee Higgins, and the Bengals have made significant investments in their offensive line. Burrow will be a consensus top-five QB in 2023 fantasy drafts. | Justin Fields was electric as a runner in 2022. If he can significantly boost his passing numbers in 2023, look out. Fields ran for 1,143 yards and eight touchdowns last season, averaging a league-high 7.1 yards per carry. He ran for 178 yards and a touchdown against the Dolphins in Week 9, breaking the single-game rushing record for a quarterback -- then ran for 147 yards and two touchdowns against the Lions the following week. But Fields averaged 149.5 passing yards per game and topped the 200-yard mark only twice in 2022. In his defense, Fields was saddled by a mediocre offensive line and arguably the worst WR group in the league. The Bears have already traded for WR D.J. Moore and figure to bolster their offensive line in the NFL Draft, giving Fields a chance to make the same sort of quantum leap that Jalen Hurts made in 2022. |
| Derek Lofland FantasyPros | Burrow finished the season with 4,475 yard and 35 TDs. He plays on one of the best offenses in the NFL and he is elite fantasy QB1. | Fields threw the ball only 318 times and finished with just 2,242 yards passing and 17 passing TDs. His fantasy appeal was as a runner, he torched the NFL for 1,143 yards rushing and 8 rushing TDs. If he tallies that much rushing production, he will be a fantastic QB1 in 2023. He also should have better passing numbers with the addition of D.J. Moore. |
| Wolf of Roto Street Roto Street Journal | 3/17: Now with an elite WR1 in DJ Moore, Fields is every bit the cheat code of the Allen, Mahomes, Hurts tier, with a 1-2 Round discount | |
| Tera Roberts Dynasty Vipers | Safe option but I prefer to take the risk of a higher ceiling with Jackson and Fields. | Yes, the huge stretch where he put up insane numbers was against horrible defenses. But Fields had strong performances against NE, DAL and PHI - all tough defenses. Weekly 20-30 points is well within his range of outcomes. I am willing to reach on Fields to acquire him similarly to Jalen Hurts in 2022. |
