Who Should I Start? Justin Fields or Ladd McConkey

ESPN's Adam Schefter reports that the Pittsburgh Steelers are going to pull out all the stops to try and beat the division-rival Baltimore Ravens in the wild-card showdown on Saturday night, which includes using backup quarterback Justin Fields in the offense. Since Russell Wilson took over for the Steelers under center in Week 7, Fields has attempted just one pass while rushing seven times for 58 yards in four games, so it's hard to imagine him having a major role all of a sudden in the postseason. However, it's more reason to fade Wilson in DFS lineups against a Ravens defense that has played its best football at the end of the season. If anything, the Steelers could sprinkle Fields in a bit more on some run-pass option plays to try and keep Baltimore's defense guessing, but it most likely won't be enough to give Fields any kind of fantasy appeal.

Los Angeles Chargers rookie wide receiver Ladd McConkey was the lone bright spot of the Chargers Wild Card Round loss to the Houston Texans on Saturday. McConkey was targeted 14 times, making nine catches for 197 yards and a touchdown. The rookie's touchdown was an 86-yard play and the only one the Bolts would score in the game. While McConkey made his nine catches for 197 yards, the entire rest of the Chargers offense made five catches for 45 yards total. It was a rough performance by the LA offense, but McConkey shone through and truly established himself as an every week fantasy starter in his rookie year.
