Justin Fields Officially Out For Week 12

Chicago Bears quarterback Justin Fields (shoulder) has been ruled out for the Week 12 matchup against the New York Jets. This shouldn't come as a surprise considering the Bears have been preparing for this all week long. The Bears aren't going to let Fields play through this shoulder injury and make it worse. Trevor Siemian will make the start under center in Week 12. He'll have Nathan Peterman as the emergency backup on Sunday. Fantasy managers should expect a run-heavy offense from the Bears on Sunday. The absence of Fields is not good news for the fantasy value of Darnell Mooney. Siemian is unlikely to have success against this tough defense, so he's not a recommended fantasy option.

Justin Fields A "Long Shot" To Play Against Jets

Chicago Bears quarterback Justin Fields (shoulder) is considered a "long shot" to play against the Jets. However, he will go through pregame warmups before a final decision is made. After a dreadful start to the 2022-23 campaign, Fields has emerged to become one of the best fantasy quarterbacks going. Unfortunately, with the Bears unlikely to make the playoffs, there's a chance the signal-caller won't be back this season to avoid further damage. In any event, Trevor Siemian is expected to be under center in Week 12. Yet, fantasy managers shouldn't expect much out of him versus a potent Jets defense.

Bears Could Hold Justin Fields Out To Avoid Long-Term Damage

Chicago Bears quarterback Justin Fields (shoulder) remains questionable for Sunday's meeting with the Jets. The signal-caller has a separated shoulder but is willing to play through pain moving ahead. However, with Chicago unlikely to make the postseason, the team could keep him out if it means avoiding "long-term damage," according to ESPN's Jeremy Fowler. The 23-year-old has been a potent fantasy option after a horrendous beginning to the 2022-23 campaign. That said, fantasy managers should consider rostering another quarterback just in case. Yet, Trevor Siemian, who would start if Fields can't go, isn't the answer versus a formidable Jets defense.

Justin Fields Questionable To Face Jets

Chicago Bears quarterback Justin Fields (shoulder) is officially questionable for the Week 12 matchup with the New York Jets. Head coach Matt Eberflus said the team is hoping to take the decision to play Fields up until game time on Sunday. Fields is the overall QB4 on the season after a sluggish start and has been arguably the most explosive breakout player in all of fantasy football. That said, fantasy managers will surely be hurting if he's ruled out. The New York Jets have been a top-10 unit against fantasy quarterbacks this season, but Fields is very much in the must-start category with his rushing upside. The good news is no quarterbacks are on a bye week so it shouldn't be too difficult to find a streamer, but losing Fields' ceiling will be disappointing. If he's out, Trevor Siemian will start for Chicago. He'd only be viable in superflex or two-QB leagues.

Justin Fields Puts In Another Limited Practice

Chicago Bears quarterback Justin Fields (shoulder) was limited in practice for the second straight day on Thursday. Fields is dealing with a separated shoulder and partially torn ligaments in his left, non-throwing shoulder. It's good news that it's not his throwing arm, but the 23-year-old dual-threat signal-caller feels pain every time he throws and there is some concern that the Bears might play it safe and hold their franchise QB out as a precaution. Fields has become a must-start QB1 in fantasy in his second NFL season, but he'll be a bit more risky if he plays this Sunday against a tough New York Jets defense. If he's inactive on Sunday, backup Trevor Siemian would get the start and would merely be a desperation low-end QB2 in superflex formats.

Justin Fields Unlikely To Play In Week 12?

The Athletic's Jon Greenberg writes that it seems unlikely that the Chicago Bears would let quarterback Justin Fields (shoulder) play with his injury, particularly given the context (the Bears are 3-8) and the style of Fields' play. "I just feel like if I can play and that I'm not furthering the risk of injury and I can do what I need to do to be able to protect myself, I think that'll be good enough for me to play," Fields said. The 23-year-old got in some practice work on Wednesday, but he's dealing with a separated left shoulder and partially torn ligaments, so it's a pretty serious injury, even if it's to his non-throwing shoulder. Fields says he feels pain every time he throws. Fantasy managers that have been riding the up-and-coming dual-threat QB need to have a backup plan at the QB position this week.

Justin Fields Dealing With A Separated Shoulder

Chicago Bears quarterback Justin Fields (shoulder) is dealing with a separated shoulder and a partially torn ligament. The second-year quarterback suffered the injury last week against the Atlanta Falcons but finished the game. While the injury sounds painful, Fields could play against the New York Jets this week. The former Ohio State quarterback has been a fantasy cheat code over the past six weeks, averaging 28.8 fantasy points per game. Furthermore, he has averaged 106.7 rushing yards per game during that span, totaling at least 60 yards in every contest. Trevor Siemian would get the start if Fields can't go on Sunday. However, fantasy players should not consider Siemian a suitable replacement for the young star quarterback.

Justin Fields Day-To-Day, Will Practice Wednesday

Chicago Bears head coach Matt Eberflus said that quarterback Justin Fields (shoulder) is day-to-day and his status going into the Week 12 game against the New York Jets on Sunday is undetermined. However, Fields has been cleared to practice on Wednesday, and the Bears aren't considering putting him on Injured Reserve after he suffered a left shoulder injury in Week 11 against the Atlanta Falcons. The 23-year-old will be listed as limited on Wednesday for their walk-through, but it's a good sign for his availability this weekend. If for some reason Fields isn't cleared to play, Trevor Siemian would get the start under center for the Bears. As things stand now, Fields is on the right side of questionable for Week 12, and he'll be a must-start QB1 if he's active, despite the tough matchup against the Jets defense.

Justin Fields Dislocated Shoulder, Remains Day-To-Day

Chicago Bears quarterback Justin Fields suffered a shoulder dislocation during Sunday's loss to the Atlanta Falcons, head coach Matt Eberflus told the media. The injury is painful and Fields will be evaluated on a day-to-day basis, though Eberflus would not rule out the possibility of the quarterback's season being over. He has looked fantastic as of late, ranking as the QB1 while accumulating 193.54 fantasy points from Weeks 5 to 11. If Fields does have to miss time, Trevor Siemian would take over as Chicago's quarterback.

Justin Fields Evaluated For Shoulder Injury

Chicago Bears quarterback Justin Fielder (shoulder) was carted to the locker room for further evaluation and testing following Sunday's loss to the Atlanta Falcons. The mobile quarterback certainly didn't look 100 percent in the second half. He was seen clutching his shoulder and wincing in pain throughout the contest. When all was said and done, Fields finished with 14 completions for 153 yards, one touchdown, and one interception. He also rushed a whopping 18 times for 85 yards and one touchdown on the ground. Between his four sacks and staggering number of rushes, Fields clearly put his body on the line during Sunday's game. Fantasy managers should be on the lookout for an injury update later Sunday evening.

Justin Fields Star Will Continue Against Falcons

Chicago Bears quarterback Justin Fields will have a plus-matchup against a Falcons defense that is allowing the ninth most fantasy points to opposing passers heading into Week 11. Fields has taken the NFL by storm over the last month and has 14 total touchdowns over his last five games. The Bears are averaging 201.7 team rushing yards a game this season and Fields is responsible for 111 rushing yards a game over his last four played. The intriguing element of this week's matchup is that the Falcons currently surrender an NFL-worst 280.4 passing yards a game. They have allowed seven different quarterbacks to post more than 17 fantasy points against them, creating a very high floor for Fields to post QB1 numbers again in Week 11.

Justin Fields Dazzles Again In Loss

Chicago Bears quarterback Justin Fields completed 12-of-20 passes for 167 yards with two passing touchdowns, one interception, one rushing touchdown and a team-high 147 rushing yards in the Bears Week 10 loss to the Lions. Fields continues to tear through the NFL and set another NFL record with 549 rushing yards over his last five games as a passer. Fields made plays all over the field and showed off his dynamic elusiveness but a second-half interception, that turned into a touchdown, changed the tenor of the game. Fields has cemented himself as, at the very least, a top-10 fantasy quarterback play moving forward.

Justin Fields Carries QB1 Value Against Lions

Chicago Bears quarterback Justin Fields will try and stay hot against a very vulnerable Lions defense in Week 10. Fields is coming off a dynamic performance against the Dolphins, when he set an NFL regular season record for rushing yards by a quarterback with 178. He also tallied four total touchdowns and has looked fantastic over the past three games while the Bears offense are averaging 31.3 points a game during that span. Enter the Lions, who are allowing the third most fantasy points to opposing passers, including 24 fantasy points or more surrendered to four different quarterbacks this season. Fields has a green-light matchup and will carry top-10 fantasy value at the quarterback position for Week 10.

Fields was explosive with his not just his legs but also his arm, completing 17-of-28 passes for only 123 yards but three passing touchdowns. Fields is now on fire over the last month, racking up 10 touchdowns over his last four games. He has 408 rushing yards during that span and the Bears offense is averaging 30 points a game over its last three played. Fields suddenly is budding superstar and is an official QB1 fantasy play moving forward.

Justin Fields Draws Favorable Matchup In Week 9

Chicago Bears quarterback Justin Fields threw for two touchdowns against a potent Cowboys defense in Week 8. Although he only amassed 151 yards, he still completed nearly 74% of his throws, his highest of the 2022-23 campaign. The 23-year-old is playing better than he did to begin the season, and the one-two punch of David Montgomery and Khalil Herbert has helped take some pressure off of him. The team also added Chase Claypool from Pittsburgh ahead of the trade deadline, which will help even more. While Fields has a way to go before he earns the trust of fantasy managers, he draws a favorable matchup versus a Dolphins defense that has struggled against opposing quarterbacks this season. The signal-caller should be viewed as a risky, high-upside streaming option in Week 9.

Justin Fields Has High-End QB2 Value For Week 9

Chicago Bears quarterback Justin Fields continues to show improvement despite the team getting blown out last week. Fields completed 17-of-23 passing attempts for 151 yards with two touchdowns in the loss. He also added 60 additional yards on the ground with another score. The Bears have given Fields limited weapons on offense, but he appears to be making the most of it. He's heading into a matchup against the Miami Dolphins in Week 9. A defensive unit that has struggled against mobile quarterbacks this season. Fantasy managers should consider Fields a high-end QB2 for this upcoming matchup.

Justin Fields Delivers Three Touchdowns In Loss

Chicago Bears quarterback Justin Fields completed 17-of-23 passes for 151 yards with two passing touchdowns, 60 rushing yards and one rushing touchdown in the Bears 49-29 loss to the Cowboys in Week 8. After a dismal start to his season, Fields is starting to come on strong. Over his last four games, the second-year quarterback is averaging 251 all-purpose yards a game with seven total touchdowns. Fields has been lethal with his legs over the last month and he suddenly has creeped back up into the QB2 conversation in fantasy. The young signal-caller's arrow is certainly pointing up but his ceiling may be capped moving forward in an offense that simply is lacking weapons in the passing game.

Bears Have Found The Right Formula For Justin Fields

Chicago Bears quarterback Justin Fields appears to finally be settling into his role with the team. Last week, the Bears ended their three game losing streak with a blowout win over the New England Patriots. Now, the organization believes they've found the right formula for the second-year quarterback. Through seven games, Field has only surpassed 200 passing yards once this season. However, Fields does have 80-plus rushing yards in both of his last two games. The Bears believe they've figured out a way to blend the two areas together successfully. We'll see if that's true during their upcoming Week 8 matchup against the Dallas Cowboys.

Chicago Bears quarterback Justin Fields hasn't had the breakout season most were expecting. The 23-year-old has thrown only five touchdowns while amassing six interceptions and completing just 55.9% of his attempts this season. He has been somewhat proficient on the run. However, with a potent Cowboys' defense on tap for Week 8, fantasy managers should keep Fields out of the starting lineup unless necessary.

Justin Fields Praises Play Calling

Chicago Bears quarterback Justin Fields carried the ball 14 times in their 33-14 victory over the Patriots on Monday night, featuring several designed runs. When asked about it post-game, the 23-year-old praised the play calling, saying it made "our offense more complex." He also described it as adding "a whole new element to the offense." The Bears organization and coaching staff have been criticized for the way they've deployed their mobile signal-caller. However, after a much-needed win, there's reason to believe they will continue utilizing his rushing ability. The additional output he offers in fantasy football as a runner would be enough to propel him into the top-15 as a weekly streamer if the play calling continues.

Fields was explosive throughout this 33-14 dominating victory and the second-year passer gashed the Patriots consistently with his legs and deadly arm. After six excruciating games, the Bears offense came to life, marching the ball down the field at will. The arrow is suddenly pointing slightly up, but take warning fantasy managers, Fields gets a tough matchup against the Cowboys in Week 9.

Justin Fields Gets Tough Monday Night Matchup

Chicago Bears quarterback Justin Fields will have a stiff test in Week 7 when the Bears travel to play the Patriots on Monday Night Football. Patriots head coach Bill Belichick has feasted off young quarterbacks throughout his Hall of Fame career and his defense has picked off six passes over their last five games played. Fields is stuck playing in an offense bereft of talent in the wide receivers room and his numbers have paid the price this season. He is a threat to pop off a huge play with his legs at any moment but his 144.8 passing yards a game through six games this season will make him a very dicey fantasy play in Week 7.

Justin Fields Aggravates Shoulder Injury Thursday Night

Chicago Bears quarterback Justin Fields (shoulder) indicated that he re-aggravated an injury to his left non-throwing shoulder. "I'm hurting. Hurting pretty good," Fields said. "Got a long weekend, so I'll have some extra time to heal up." The 23-year-old specified it was a pre-existing injury to his left shoulder. He will have some extra time to recover as the Bears' next game is not until October 24th against the New England Patriots. The former first-round pick completed 14-of-27 passes for 190 yards, one touchdown, one interception, and 88 rushing yards in Thursday's loss to the Commanders.

Chicago Bears quarterback Justin Fields completed 14-of-27 passes for 190 yards, one touchdown, one interception and 88 rushing yards in the team's crushing 12-7 loss to the Commanders. Fields was hit early and often but was able to make plays with his fantastic escapability. The second-year quarterback tossed a beautiful 40-yard touchdown to Dante Pettis but also missed some easy throws, several in the red zone. Fields and the Bears offense ranks at the bottom in most passing categories and Fields' fantasy value rests in his legs more than his arm moving forward.

Fields showed poise and play-making ability against the Vikings last week and will face a Washington defense that has allowed 10 passing touchdowns and over 255 passing yards a game over their last four played. Fields is a dicey QB2 play in Week 6 but this will be one of the better matchups the young quarterback will face this season. On the negative side, Fields is being sacked at a 17 percent rate, which is by far the highest in the NFL.

Justin Fields Rallies But Comes Up Short

Chicago Bears quarterback Justin Fields completed 15-of-21 passes for 208 passing yards with one touchdown and a team-high 47 rushing yards in the team's 29-22 loss to the Vikings. Things looked bleak early as the Vikings sprinted out to a 21-3 lead, but Fields rallied to have his best game of the season. The second-year quarterback eluded collapsing pockets with his amazing athleticism and flashed his big-time arm in multiple spots as the Bears mounted a second-half comeback. Fields also had a 40-plus-yard rushing touchdown negated by an illegal block in the back penalty but it was too little and too late for the Bears offense. This performance by Fields should have him sniffing QB2 status heading into a short week against the Commanders on Thursday Night Football.

Even worse, he has four interceptions and completed just 51% of his attempts. Certainly, there may be better days ahead.

He will take on a Texans defense that has allowed 200-plus passing yards to each of the first two signal-callers they have faced this season.

But the Packers offense responded with 24 first-half points and the Bears were unable to get anything going in the passing game.
