Justin Fields Gets Favorable TNF Matchup

Chicago Bears quarterback Justin Fields will face a Commanders defense that is allowing the eighth most fantasy points to opposing passers Thursday night to kick off Week 6. Fields arrow is pointing up after posting some of the worst numbers among any NFL quarterback through the first four games. Fields showed poise and play-making ability against the Vikings last week and will face a Washington defense that has allowed 10 passing touchdowns and over 255 passing yards a game over their last four played. Fields is a dicey QB2 play in Week 6 but this will be one of the better matchups the young quarterback will face this season. On the negative side, Fields is being sacked at a 17 percent rate, which is by far the highest in the NFL.
