Surgical Achilles Recovery Positions Indianapolis Signal-Caller as Late-Round Draft Bargain
Coming off a torn Achilles suffered last December, the veteran quarterback is progressing remarkably well and is already participating in 7-on-7 drills. He sits atop the Indianapolis depth chart ahead of backup Anthony Richardson Sr., with coaching staff and teammates heavily praising his leadership and relentless rehab work ethic.
During his first season with the franchise last year, he posted a stellar 100.1 passer rating with 21 touchdowns across 14 appearances. Our models project him to maintain this strong efficiency, forecasting 3,628 passing yards and 21 passing scores, alongside 199 rushing yards and three additional touchdowns on the ground.
Despite the major injury rehab, his ADP has remained remarkably stable around the late-round territory of 185 overall. Given his status as the projected starter and our promising projections, his low cost makes him a premier value steal for managers looking to wait on quarterback in drafts.

Outlook Justin Fields
Premium Handcuff Upside in a High-Powered Offense
Justin Fields enters the season as the primary backup to Patrick Mahomes. Head coach Andy Reid praised Fields as a legitimate starter, expressing confidence in his ability to step in early if needed. While Reid envisions him as more than a gadget option, Fields is locked behind Mahomes on the depth chart, limiting his immediate path to snaps.
Our projections slate Fields for just 27.3 fantasy points, reflecting his backup status. Fantasy managers have reacted accordingly; his roster rate fell from 19% to 11% over the last month, with a tiny 2% start rate. He is strictly a premium bench stash or Superflex handcuff rather than a weekly contributor.
His ADP has plummeted from around 350 in May to well past 660, making him practically free in drafts. This sliding cost presents a great value opportunity. While he has no standalone value, Fields possesses slate-breaking rushing ability—evidenced by his career-high 1,143 rushing yards in 2022—making him an elite contingency target.
