Fantasy Football Player Notes

In the five starts, Justin Fields has played the entire game; he has finished as a QB1 four times (QB2, QB4, QB7, QB31, QB12). In those five games, he has averaged 45.2 rushing yards with three rushing scores. Among 41 qualifying passers, he ranks 29th in yards per attempt, 17th in highly accurate throw rate, 30th in catchable target rate, and 33rd in hero throw rate. Fields at this juncture is a valued fantasy play based upon his garbage time production and rushing output. Guess what...that production is all the same in fantasy football, so stop hating it. His Week 10 matchup against the Browns' pass defense is average at best, so he'll need to access his rushing skeleton key to be a QB1 again this week. Since Week 5, Cleveland has allowed the seventh-highest yards per attempt, but they have also ranked 15th in passer rating and CPOE and 19th in success rate per dropback allowed.
