Waiver Wire - Justin Fields (3 Viewers)

[Thrash66]

My league starts 1 QB and I only have Jaylen Hurts. I would automatically try to pick him up Justin Fields for a backup if he didn't have the same bye week as Hurts. Is it worth stashing him in case of injury or use that roster spot for a potential starter at another position?

Hi there!

Fields is worth picking up for sure, he could be a monstrous fantasy football producer this year. He arguably has the best weapons of his career between Garrett Wilson and Mason Taylor, he is more experienced, and has the elite rushing upside. As the season goes on, if you see both Hurts/Fields are established studs, you can trade one of them away to a QB needy team for extreme WR/RB value.
