Fields faces Carolina’s leakiest pass rush, a setup that could unlock fantasy upside for Week 7, but the leash looms large. The Jets may yank Fields for Tyrod Taylor if the wheels fall off early, and losing Garrett Wilson would blunt his ceiling further. Nonetheless, the matchup keeps Fields in play as a low-end QB1 with rushing upside and a high ceiling if the coaching staff accelerates his decision-making and run design.

Michael Penix Jr. is pegged as Seattle’s starter the rest of the season, a signal of stability at quarterback that can buoy fantasy rosters. Seattle’s offense can lean on his mobility and arm, offering a solid floor even in tougher matchups. The convo also weaves in late-week narrative about Broncos, Steelers, and Buccaneers—reminders that a single defensive stop or turnover can swing a streamer’s week into a win.
