If healthy, who should Steelers start: Russell Wilson or Justin Fields?

I mean, this is the obvious question for the week, right? Justin Fields kinda-sorta led the Steelers to a victory in Week 1, but he only played because Russell Wilson suffered some calf tightness in the week leading up to the game.

Assuming Wilson is deemed sufficiently healthy to play, though, should the Steelers start him or Fields in Week 2? The Steelers are playing Wilson’s former team, the Broncos, so you know he will be highly motivated. But it’s not like Fields isn’t fighting for his future, and motivation is only one factor.
