Should You Start or Sit Justin Fields in Week 7?
What is best for the Steelers and what is best for fantasy managers doesn’t align in the case of this QB room. Fields’ metrics are trending in the wrong direction, thus the speculation about his job security with Russell Wilson now healthy; yet, he’s been a top-15 fantasy quarterback in four straight games.
The sub-60% completion rate in consecutive games is a concern for a team that just needs stability on the offensive end in order to be competitive. Wilson gives the Steelers a better chance to win over time while Fields gives fantasy managers more of a ceiling at the position.
Sadly, Mike Tomlin isn’t paid to support your Superflex roster.
