Justin Fields Cleared To Return In Week 11

Justin Fields Cleared To Return In Week 11

12 months ago

Chicago Bears quarterback Justin Fields (thumb) practiced in full all week and has been removed from the final Week 11 injury report on Friday. It means he will start for the Bears on Sunday against the Detroit Lions to put an end to his four-game absence due to a dislocated right thumb. The 24-year-old has QB1 upside whenever he's on the field because of his rushing prowess, but it would be wise to expect some rust in this one against a defense looking to bounce back after getting shredded by the Los Angeles Chargers in Week 10. Fields' return is also great news for the Bears offense as a whole, most notably for top wideout DJ Moore. Fields is best considered a QB2 in fantasy in his return with upside for more.
