START
Justin Fields's elite rushing volume for a QB, with a carry share consistently above 20% in recent games, sets him apart as a high-floor option.
Role & volume
Fields has maintained a significant rushing role, averaging over 29% carry share in his last four games before Week 19, indicating he is not just a passer but also a dynamic runner.
Projected role
With his new team KC, Fields's established rushing volume and high snap share suggest he will continue to be the primary ball-carrier and playmaker for the offense.
Range (floor–ceiling)
Despite a recent dynasty value softening, Fields projects as a QB with a solid floor due to his rushing production, though his ceiling may be limited by passing inefficiencies, placing him at QB39 on our value board.
