| Mark Ringo Sleepers and Busts | 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 | Despite not finishing here since 2019, LJ received a massive contract and will have his best-supporting cast yet. With three first-round receivers surrounding him, along with arguably the second-best TE in the game and a healthy J.K. Dobbins, the sky is truly the limit for Lamar. Especially now that Greg Roman has taken the offensive reigns and will increase his passing volume. | 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. |
| Brandon Funston The Athletic | He has No. 1 overall fantasy scorer upside, but 10 DNPs in the past 2 seasons has to knock him out of the top QB tier | |
| Pat Fitzmaurice FantasyPros | Drafters might get a slight discount on Lamar Jackson this year after a second consecutive season in which injuries limited him to 12 games. In 2021, it was bone bruise in his ankle that prematurely ended Jackson's season. In 2022, it was a sprained PCL in his knee. Jackson has been a lethal running threat throughout his career, averaging 63.4 rushing yards per game over his five NFL seasons. Jackson will be playing for new, pass-friendlier offensive coordinator Todd Monken after the Ravens parted ways with Greg Roman. Even with the uncertainty and the recent injuries, Jackson is still an upper-echelon fantasy quarterback capable of a QB1 finish. | 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. |
| Wolf of Roto Street Roto Street Journal | 5/5: With no more holdout risk, a newly-stacked weapons-cabinet (Zay Flowers, Odell join Andrews & Bateman), & Todd Monken - a former Air Raid Guru - opening up this offense, Lamar could return to his MVP-levels. Immense upside | 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 |
| Derek Lofland FantasyPros | Jackson is a great duel threat QB that had 2,242 yards passing, 17 passing TDs, 764 yards rushing, and 3 rushing TDs. The only reason I do not have Lamar Jackson as a Top-5 fantasy QB is that he has missed 10 games due to injury the last 2 years. If he can stay healthy, the sky is the limit, but a QB cannot miss 5 games per year and be an elite fantasy option. | 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. |
| Tera Roberts Dynasty Vipers | 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. | |
