The New York Jets signed Fields as a two-year bridge, with Engstrand reshaping the attack to maximize his dual-threat upside. The Athletic’s QB tier put Fields in a tier-four bucket, ranking him 27th overall—a spot that underscores rotate-in NFL fantasy risk but also a rushing floor ripe for upside in a revamped Jets system.

Fields’ make-or-break year sits beside a cohort of QBs ranked behind him (Richardson, Jones, Penix, McCarthy); Flacco’s veteran patience sits at No. 31. For fantasy managers, Fields’ rushing ability and new scheme create upside as a streamer, with real weekly upside if the Jets lean into his strengths and stay healthy.
