QB Justin Fields, NYJ (11 Viewers)

I am wishing for Fields and Daniel Jones to sign 1 year show me deals with Seattle. Let them duke it out and if it turns out great, then great. If not, high pick and both dude buh-bye and draft a qb in 2026.

I think the Jets are in a pretty good position to get Fields. Seattle is interesting, but I'm not sure Fields would see the upside. Seattle did not want to pay Geno. Why would they want to pay Fields after he shows them? I think Geno proved pretty good for Seattle, and they traded him.
 
At this point, why would any QB wanna sign with the garbage fire Jets? They're where QB careers go to die.

The answer, of course, is money...so unless they intend to chuck 5m more per annum than less garbage fire-y situations, does playing with Garret Wilson again matter that much to the guy?

My guess? The Jets are absolutely willing to hyper-overpay for somebody to play QB, and Woody Johnson's kid has probably informed dad that Fields "has 92 speed on Madden." The 20m per year contract was probably written up nanoseconds later.

The question, to me at least, is "Will Fields go for cash today, or try to find a situation with a "QB guru" to try and Sam Darnold it tomorrow?"

Jets deserve to be ridiculed for the past but this is a new regime that is pretty well respected. Its a major market with a great situation for Fields. Solid OL, very good RBs with Breece and company and of course his guy G Will. Out of the possibilities out there I think the Jets are a good spot for him.

Not just that, but there are only 32 such jobs in the world. Fields is scratching and clawing his way to stay in the conversation and mix to be one of them. He got traded for a 6th rounder last year. Don't know if he can be choosey.

Fields will have options. There are 6, maybe 7 teams that need a starting QB. Darnold, Russ, Fields, Jameis, Zach Wilson make up an awful FA QB class. Cousins is still under contract. MAYBE Sanders and Ward will start day 1? Besides Darnold, Fields is the best FA QB in a terrible group. There will be multiple teams vying for his services.

Multiple teams weren't vying for his services last year, not sure anything has really changed other than the supply/demand dynamic a little more in his favor this year. I'd say more likely he's brought into a spot like Indy or the Jets or somewhere else where he'll compete for the starting job.
 
Fields is going to want to start - If those are the favorites - Fields has a much easier time beating out Tyrod Taylor vs A Rich. If he wanted to stay in Pitt Id think he would have signed already. I think Jets may be the favorites at this point

I think Fields raised his value a bit with his 4-2 start and 10-1 TD/INT ratio.

He also cost more than just money a year ago and, if scuttlebutt is to be believed, was only being shopped to teams he preferred.

This year he can talk to all comers, and its a FA crop bereft of quality. So, situations arent really very similar at all. He will certainly have options if he wants them. They all may not be what he's after, but more than a couple teams will have interest.

His representation should be pilloried (rightfully) if they haven't/don't contact every viable situation, whether he winds up back in Pittsburgh or not.

Well the one similarity is he's still a middling QB. He got benched last year and doesn't really look like Pittsburgh wants him back, at least as a starter. Think he'll get a chance to be thrown in the mix to possibly start somewhere, but nothing more, Maybe I'll be wrong, we'll have to wait and see.

You may be underestimating how many teams need QBs and how bad it is out there - word is if the Jets miss out on Fields they may pivot to Mariotta/Wentz......Ill raise that Fields offer! lol

I get it which is why he'll be in the mix, can see a team like the Jets and then they'll hope to draft a QB high, and if that plan fails just essentially tank the season with a mix of Fields and Tyrod, basically what the Raiders did w/ Minshew and AOC last year

I agree that he did nothing to enhance his stock but the numbers game worked in his favor better this year without benefit of a stacked rookie QB class.

If you look at last year there just were not any wide open QB spots available for him. The Raiders should have been one but that probably got complicated by them not wanting to hire the OC/QB duo of a failed bit Bears offense. Giants had not given up on Jones, Rodgers never really played for the Jets, Vikings preferred Darnold, etc,etc..

It's kind of odd when you think that 6 good looking rookie QB's got allocated throughout the league but the numbers actually work out better for him this year.

How many are there?

Jets
Giants
Titans (but they will take Ward)
Seahawks
Steelers

Anybody else? Realistically, the Browns need to move on, but they can't do anything as long as Watson's contract is hanging around their neck. It sounds like the Saints are going to keep Carr around for a while. The Colts are going to likely going to sign Jones.

That leaves 4 teams for some combination of Rodgers, Fields, Darnold, Sanders and the various others who are out there that people still think might be able to do something (Trey Lance, etc.).

It is highly possible (likely?) that the Titans don't take Ward.
 
2 year deal, $40 million, with $30 million guaranteed.

I think Fields raised his value a bit with his 4-2 start and 10-1 TD/INT ratio.

He also cost more than just money a year ago and, if scuttlebutt is to be believed, was only being shopped to teams he preferred.

This year he can talk to all comers, and its a FA crop bereft of quality. So, situations arent really very similar at all. He will certainly have options if he wants them. They all may not be what he's after, but more than a couple teams will have interest.

His representation should be pilloried (rightfully) if they haven't/don't contact every viable situation, whether he winds up back in Pittsburgh or not.
Well the one similarity is he's still a middling QB. He got benched last year and doesn't really look like Pittsburgh wants him back, at least as a starter. Think he'll get a chance to be thrown in the mix to possibly start somewhere, but nothing more, Maybe I'll be wrong, we'll have to wait and see.
You may be underestimating how many teams need QBs and how bad it is out there - word is if the Jets miss out on Fields they may pivot to Mariotta/Wentz......Ill raise that Fields offer! lol
How many are there?

Jets
Giants
Titans (but they will take Ward)
Seahawks
Steelers

Anybody else? Realistically, the Browns need to move on, but they can't do anything as long as Watson's contract is hanging around their neck. It sounds like the Saints are going to keep Carr around for a while. The Colts are going to likely going to sign Jones.

That leaves 4 teams for some combination of Rodgers, Fields, Darnold, Sanders and the various others who are out there that people still think might be able to do something (Trey Lance, etc.).
It is highly possible (likely?) that the Titans don't take Ward.
I’d say roughly 66% chance they take Ward now. Maybe higher.
 
If you feel otherwise it's a good time time to strike. I'm reviewing offers to make right now.
I’m tempted to put an offer in to GW owners in hopes that they’re doomers.

Might wait a couple days for the hard-hitting thought pieces by FF writers to really kick dirt on his grave though.

Sniffing around too early might have them pegging you as a sucker who’s high on GW with the addition in which case you’ll be negotiating from a position of weakness.

Sorry last post on GW here but I got to laugh at what just happened.

As I'm sitting here posting to make a run at GW on a team distraught over Fields the only league I own Wilson someone just tried to buy him low from me. Not some horrendous buy low, Metcalf and Brooks(who for value purposes I just traded for giving 3.8). Was an easy no to me.
 
BTW, and I know this is the Fields thread so sorry for cluttering it, but I think universal snap reaction is this is doom for GW.

It's definitely bad, for 2 reasons. For one, Fields just isn't a volume passer. He had fewer than 160 yards in 4 of his 6 starts last year. Even worse, Fields is a good runner and bad red zone passer, which means he steals a lot of TDs.

If you have a longer term focus, GW might be worth riding it out and waiting for the inevitable Fields replacement, but it's going to be a rough early season.
 
I love Fields' athleticism. The dude just hasn't developed that timer in his head on when to dispose of the football. I felt bad for him watching those 6 games that he started for the Steelers since they had him on such a tight leash. He needs to learn how to remain the athlete without making the boneheaded turnover because he is trying to be a hero. He'll never learn the position if he doesn't get the latitude to become his own QB.

He was extremely polarizing in Chicago. A huge chunk of the fanbase thought that he would develop into a high calibre starting if given some more time, so much so that a lot of people wanted to deal the Williams pick.

DJ Moore certainly had a good year with Fields - I think his prior experience with G Will is going to make a great connection t his year.
 
For fantasy, this seems pretty good for Justin Field's managers. He will be the Jets' starting QB and have a shot to solidify himself as a QB1 in pretty much any format. I think this is good for the running game. I'm not all that worried about GW, either. Fields and Wilson have a good relationship on and off the field, and Fields will work very hard to get GW to reach his targets and completions. My concern would be with the offensive line, and Fields seems to take many chances with his health. I want him to run but run smart.

I do not know much about the OC, though.
 
The Jets are terrible....There is going to be tons of garbage yards and points to be had with Fields. As long as they just let him ride it out. No sense in plugging in Tyrod either, they know what he is.
 
So, what is Fields value now in dynasty SF? He is a QB that can get 20+ pts every game with his rushing ability with big spike weeks. I'm trying to decide if I should ride him out as my QB2 and enjoy the boom weeks or sell him for max value.

Long term I should probably sell but the weekly points he could put up in the SF spot is wild.

Probably good. He performed as you described in weeks 3-6 last year.

The risk - both late season and long term - is that he eats bench midway through. I'm not particularly worried about that this year, but I'm skeptical that he's still a starter in a year or two.

After selling him in two leagues, I’m tempted to try to buy him in a third league… I think he’s still relatively cheap though this definitely spiked his value a little bit. Maybe a 2027 first? Or 2026 2nd+ a WR2 or RB2 type?

This is superflex, of course.

I think a lot of people still believe his value is pretty volatile considering it could just be a one year gig. And while, yes, 20 points is a relatively safe projection, he could also have some significantly negative weeks with a couple of interceptions and fumbles.

Last year he got lucky on quite a few fumbles where he was able to fall in the ball or bounced to him. But I was still very concerned about the frequency of his fumbling. He had a knack for doing it under pressure as well.

But as a SF QB2 you could do a lot worse.

i think the OL can be quite good and has some good pieces. the interior is solid and graded out well. fashanu has the pedigree to step forward. RT is needed, but you can find a plug and play there. i can see them being in the upper half of the league after too many recent years of ranking bottom third.

There is a lot of risk no doubt. Like you said it could be one and done. It could also be like 10 games and done in the worst scenario. The other way is he does well enough and keeps his starting role for 2026.

I still think I should probably sell closer to the season to a team that is short QBs.
