Outlook Justin Fields

Dual-Threat Backup Offers Intriguing Handcuff Value Under Andy Reid

Justin Fields enters the season in a unique position, serving as the direct backup to Patrick Mahomes. While our projection of 27.3 fantasy points reflects his secondary status, head coach Andy Reid has praised his ability as a legitimate starter. This endorsement highlights his immense insurance value if Mahomes misses time.

In draft circles, Fields' stock has seen wild volatility. After hovering in the early 300s, his PPR ADP has plummeted to nearly undrafted territory in the 600s. Our models view this crash as an excellent buying opportunity for managers looking to secure a high-upside backup at zero cost.

Fields still possesses elite dual-threat capabilities, shown by his 383 rushing yards and four scores with New York last year. If thrust into action, Andy Reid's creative scheme and weapons like Travis Kelce could unlock massive fantasy upside. He remains a premier stash in deep and Superflex formats.

Outlook Bryce Young

Command of the Offense and Upgraded Weapons Position Bryce Young for a Third-Year Breakout

Dave Canales recently praised Young for having total command of the offense during spring workouts. After throwing for 3,444 yards and 25 touchdowns last year, Carolina's franchise quarterback is primed to take another step forward. The team bolstered his pass-catching arsenal by adding vertical threat Chris Brazzell II to a group featuring Tetairoa McMillan and Xavier Legette.

Our projections are optimistic about Young’s development, forecasting 3,205 passing yards and 21 touchdowns alongside 250 rushing yards. While Chuba Hubbard and Jonathon Brooks anchor the ground game, Young remains the clear engine of this offense. His leadership and efficiency are key reasons why we expect a highly productive campaign under this retooled system.

Currently going off the board with an ADP around 191, Young's market value has drifted slightly lower since May. This draft slip makes him an outstanding late-round value steal in fantasy drafts. Our models suggest his shifting price represents a bargain for fantasy managers looking for a low-cost, high-upside backup or Superflex option.
