Justin Fields Highly Productive as Passer in Week 5 Loss

Sunday, October 5, 7:07 PM

New York Jets quarterback Justin Fields completed 32 of 46 pass attempts for 283 yards, two touchdowns, and zero interceptions during Sunday's Week 5 loss to the Dallas Cowboys. He took five sacks but also rushed for 26 yards. Although the Jets are 0-5 this season, Fields has been quite productive from a fantasy perspective. In the three games where he has been fully healthy, Fields is averaging 28.2 fantasy points. He has seven total touchdowns and zero interceptions this year, though he also has two lost fumbles to his name. We've known about his rushing ability for quite some time, but we're also starting to see flashes of what he can do throwing the football -- even if it comes in garbage time. The Ohio State product is a mid-to-low fantasy QB1 for Week 6 against a strong Denver Broncos defense.

Anthony Richardson Sr.: Firmly the Backup in Indianapolis

Wednesday, October 8, 11:33 AM

Indianapolis Colts quarterback Anthony Richardson Sr. has appeared in just two games so far this season, both times in mop-up duty at the end of blowout victories. The 23-year-old is firmly behind Daniel Jones on the quarterback depth chart in Indianapolis due to how well Jones has played through five games. In his first season with the Colts, Jones has completed 71.3% of his pass attempts for 1,290 yards and six touchdowns, adding three rushing touchdowns as well. Richardson Sr.'s dual-threat ability gives him major fantasy upside if he ever gets another chance to start, but for now, he remains an injury to Jones away from playing time.
