Chicago Bears
NFC North
As the QB16, Justin Fields is a reasonable choice for a late-round quarterback strategy. Fields is projected to earn 81.3 of his 270 fantasy points by rushing. That represents a significant rushing floor that makes it a little easier to feel confident starting him week-over-week. Projected for a 1.3 touchdown-to-interception ratio, Fields has the ability to ruin a fantasy week with multiple picks in a game.
