Why fantasy managers should want Justin Fields to beat out Russell Wilson

Related Topics: Justin Fields, Russell Wilson

Give veteran quarterback Russell Wilson credit for an outstanding career. He is a nine-time Pro Bowl selection, won a Super Bowl (should have won two!) and has led myriad fantasy football managers to championships as well, finishing in the top 10 at the position for our purposes in each of his first nine NFL seasons. No QB scored more fantasy points in 2017. Wilson is likely headed to the Pro Football Hall of Fame someday, regardless of how his career ends.

Justin Fields is not Russell Wilson. Fields has not thrown for 3,000 passing yards in any of his three disappointing seasons, nor has he approached 20 touchdown passes.
