Justin Fields is set to start at quarterback for the Pittsburgh Steelers in their season opener against the Atlanta Falcons due to Russell Wilson's calf injury. Wilson was initially named the starter but will be inactive for the game, allowing Fields to make his debut with the Steelers. Fields has shown potential as a fantasy starter in the past due to his dual-threat capabilities, though concerns about his accuracy and turnover issues remain. This week presents an opportunity for Fields, particularly in superflex leagues, but his future as a starter may be short-lived if Wilson recovers quickly.
- Fields gets a chance to start due to Wilson's injury.
- Fields has dual-threat potential but has struggled with accuracy and turnovers.
- His performance in Week 1 could determine his future as a starter.
