Just saw this now- what I meant was an NFL caliber player. Claypool has a lot of issues and isn't an alpha WR by any means. However, he is big and fast which provides some challenges for defenses. When you look at the WRs on Chicago after Mooney, it's clear Claypool is a big upgrade.A WR that plays smaller than his size who falls down during jump ball situations instead of dominating the point of the catch against smaller DBs?!?Claypool is exactly what this offense needed.
He had 15 rushing attempts.New NFL record for rushing yds by a QB in a single game
178 yds on just 3 rushing attempts
60 yds per carry for the game
Nobody is going to buy that 3 looks like 15?He had 15 rushing attempts.New NFL record for rushing yds by a QB in a single game

I picked him up off the waiver wire this week lol. Started him over Trevor Lawrence. I'm pretty sure he's going to win me my league.Started him over Brady. 59.4 in that IDP league format W/small bonuses for 100+ Ru, and distance TDs.
Fields is a FF god.
In my 16 team IDP TE-P I had Fields/kmet.
Just….wow.
I grabbed him week 4. Traded for Brady, ut he’s looked bad and had a tough matchup.I picked him up off the waiver wire this week lol. Started him over Trevor Lawrence.

KD coordinators will figure it out. Threw for 123 yards. Let‘s not get too crazy yet.
It’s been a month of this. 4 straight studly games, one of them aD coordinators will figure it out. Threw for 123 yards. Let‘s not get too crazy yet.
He will be forced to throw but his passing looks decent. This was his big week of the season but he should continue to be a QB1.D coordinators will figure it out. Threw for 123 yards. Let‘s not get too crazy yet.
OkFirst of all it was Miami D, they are god awful on the road.
Second, Chicago has tweaked their offense about a month ago, DC will pick the tape apart and make adjustments
Would not be surprised if you see teams just rush their lanes to keep him in the pocket and throw against zone all the time
He is a god awful passer, can't read a defense. Jackson is a much better passer than Fields
Fields is a rudimentary passer, he will be exposed in the coming weeks
Dropped Brady after seeing Fields on the FA waiver wire. Felt like a bold and refreshing move. WOW! Did that pay off. Playing against the team who has Mixon. I still need 7 + points out of Kamara to win a high scoring affair.Started him over Brady. 59.4 in that IDP league format W/small bonuses for 100+ Ru, and distance TDs.

He threw 3 TDs and ran for a 61 yard score, setting the single game record for RuYd. He's had FF games (in my format) of 24.4, 24.5, 29.4, 35.4 and 59.5 over the last 5 games, while throwing 8 TDs to 2 Ints over that span, and scoring another 3 TD on the ground. They've finally decided to get Kmet involved in the passing game to terrific results.First of all it was Miami D, they are god awful on the road.
Second, Chicago has tweaked their offense about a month ago, DC will pick the tape apart and make adjustments

Speaking of Claypool, he was getting mugged on that throw at the end of the game. Not sure why that wasn’t PI.He threw 3 TDs and ran for a 61 yard score, setting the single game record for RuYd.

He is a literal FF cheat code. His rushing ability gives him a QB1 weekly ceiling, and his floor has still been top 12 over the last month+.
Clearly he can read a defense, because he just threw 3 TDs and ran for 178 yards.
He's run for 47, 88, 82, 60, and 172 yards in those 5 games. That's the equivalent of 7.5 additional TDs. More, if your league has 4 point PaTD (where it would be worth an additional 11.23 PaTD)
Negging Fields after this 5 week stretch, and this last game in particular is simply preposterous. If it were that easy to contain him, DCs would have done it by now.
And they just added Claypool to give Fields one more legitimate weapon in the passing game.
You're certainly entitled to your opinions, but they don't seem to mesh with the reality of the last 5 games.
I just watched that play - the sports analyst who tweeted it said it was probably the single most egregious non-call for DPI he's seen this year.

They just took the shackles off of his legs 5 weeks ago. The threat of his running opens up the passing game so much.I'm a believer. I can't remember a QB improving this rapidly in 1 year. I'm starting him over Murray from here on out.

It's hilarious to listen to the guys in my league use the same broken logic to criticize Fields. Nagy is a joke so forget last year. First year in the new offense and he's already showing major leaps every week. He is now QB7 on the year having one of the worst WR corps in the league - they just added Claypool who I don't think is amazing, but still an upgrade. They are finally scheming around his strengths rather than square peg round holing. I bet even after the start he had he ends up in top 5 QB by end of year which is pretty impressive!
These are many of the same criticisms used against Jalen Hurts. This is the first time Hurts has been in the same system for more than a year and growth has been tremendous. The game slows down, they're more confident and their natural ability just takes over. QBs who haven't even finished their second year and people are ready to move on is just unreasonable imho.annnnnnnnnd this.He threw 3 TDs and ran for a 61 yard score, setting the single game record for RuYd.

He certainly looks like a league winner right now.
I agree with everything you said. Yesterday he looked like Lamar Jackson in his fantasy MVP season.
I'm betting he's spectacular for the next 2 weeks.He has been great lately but let’s see how the next few weeks play out.
Yeah, I've been cautious to say "FF QB" in my posts. I am 100% only commenting on his FF stock.Bears fan here. I like how it's gone over the past month, but he still has to show he can be patient and pass from the pocket for long-term success. We shall see. Great fantasy QB, though.
New NFL record for rushing yds by a QB in a single game
178 yds on just 3 rushing attempts
60 yds per carry for the game
Where the hell did I get 3 from? CFG says 15 carries, he's right
Yes, those 3 yards really make Fields look like a scrub here by comparison. lolNew NFL record for rushing yds by a QB in a single game

Actually that was Kaepernick with 181 yards against packers in 2012 NFC divisional game.
But 178 is most in the regular season

started him over Brady in 2 FFPC leagues 10 minutes before kickoff. got 2 wins where I would have got 2 losses. Figured Fields could get me 15 or 20 pts that Brady was going to put up. just nice to make a last minute decision that turned out, because most of mine don't & then I beat myself up all week.Started him over Brady. 59.4 in that IDP league format W/small bonuses for 100+ Ru, and distance TDs.
