STARTS & SITS 🧐
Quarterback

Justin Fields // ABC
✅ Start ‘Em
Justin Fields vs. DAL: He's finished as a top-4 QB in his two healthy games this season, and he should have the chance for another standout performance today against a Cowboys defense that’s allowed the most fantasy point to opposing QBs, per CBS Sports’ Jamey Eisenberg. Three guys in a row (Russell Wilson, Caleb Williams and Jordan Love) have each scored at least 32.3 fantasy points against Dallas, giving Fields that kind of QB1 overall upside today.
Dak Prescott @ NYJ: “Even without CeeDee Lamb, Prescott found a way to come through with a monster game against a challenging Packers defense. Things will be even easier this week versus the Jets, who are giving up the 8th-most fantasy points to passers.” — Yahoo’s Justin Boone
Jared Goff @ CIN: Over the last four seasons, Goff averages 20.9 fantasy PPG (QB7) in 36 starts as a favorite. Detroit is favored to win by 10.5 points today, and Cincinnati is allowing the 3rd-most passing fantasy points and 3rd-most yards per game to opposing QBs, per Fantasy Points’ Graham Barfield.
