Fields stared six games for the Steelers last season, but hit the bench once Russell Wilson got healthy. He wasn't much better than he was in the previous three years in Chicago. Sure, his completion percentage was a career-high 65.8 (20th among 43 QBs with at least 160 attempts), but his on-target percentage increased only minimally while his average target depth was a career-low 7.7 yards -- he completed more passes thanks to shorter attempts (a career-high 68.3 percent went less than 10 yards). He still has his legs, though. Fields ranked eighth among QBs with 28.9 rush yards per game and scored five touchdowns. A full season at that rate would have him pushing 500 yards. The expectation of the Jets, who gave Fields a two-year, $40 million deal to be the starter, is for much more than that. Fields has target-hog Garrett Wilson as a legit No. 1 WR, but Wilson's high-volume role since 2022 (469 targets, 3rd in NFL) is partly the result of a lack of options. That's the case again with the uninspiring Allen Lazard and Josh Reynolds rounding out the top-3 wideouts, though second-round pick Mason Taylor offers upside at tight end. The gameplan could be more dynamic with new OC Tanner Engstrand, formerly the Lions' pass game coordinator, but the offense will run through RB Breece Hall, which likely caps Fields' pass attempts. Still, his elite rushing production is enough for two-QB leagues.
