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.

Less Jalen Milroe Plays Moving Forward?

Wednesday, October 8, 1:08 AM

Seattle Seahawks rookie quarterback Jalen Milroe entered the game in Week 5 against the Buccaneers for a speed option play, but he tossed it just a tad behind running back Kenneth Walker, leading to a fumble. It was an unfortunate result for the rookie from Alabama, as it wasn't the best play design, and it's not the easiest ask for him to come off the bench cold and be ready for the speed of NFL defenses. It was a costly fumble for Seattle, as they were driving in Tampa Bay territory and ultimately lost by a field goal. It's possible that this, combined with how well Sam Darnold has done, leads to fewer of these plays moving forward. Milroe is still a very good asset to own in dynasty, but he won't be an option in redraft, barring injury.
