Steelers coach Mike Tomlin tells reporters that the team is listing Russell Wilson (calf) as questionable for Sunday, but added: "If his availability is questionable, then starting is less so.”

Sounds like another week of Justin Fields starting against the Broncos.

Fields is definitely an interesting streaming choice for anyone worried about their quarterback's matchup. The ceiling is not great, but his rushing ability plants him firmly in the top-15, even in a tough matchup.

Denver isn't the best matchup for quarterbacks, but we know what Fields can do with his legs when given the opportunity, so he is a fringe QB1 on the week for those in need.

Right now, Mike Tomlin says they are preparing Justin Fields to start vs the Broncos.

The post went on to say the team will continue to evaluate Wilson's progress with his calf injury. It's still only Tuesday, so Wilson has a chance to get better as the week goes on, and we'll likely know if that's happening based on practice reports. In a different post from beat reporter Brooke Pryor, she pointed out there is no change in the Steelers depth chart at QB, and Wilson remains the QB1. If Wilson is good enough to go, it looks like he would get the start.

While Wilson should remain on fantasy benches regardless of his status, keep an eye out for Fields, who offers a much better floor/ceiling combination because of his legs. He would be a top-15 option if he gets the nod.

Steelers have made their decision and Russell Wilson will be the starter for Week 1.

And the crowd goes mild. Wilson should only be considered in deep Superflex/2QB leagues, and there's no telling if he'll keep the job throughout the entirety of the season.

This is a big week for the Pittsburgh Steelers’ quarterbacks. It’ll be the first week that Russell Wilson can go in practice without restrictions. As such, it’ll give the Pittsburgh coaches their first real side-by-side look at Wilson and Justin Fields. And while the Steelers have maintained that Wilson’s in pole position, Fields has had a lot more reps this summer in new coordinator Arthur Smith’s offense than Wilson has.

Breer went on to say the offense as a whole has struggled, with some moving parts on the line and depth issues at receiver. Breer added the coaches are playing the starters more in preseason games as a result, to try to give the players a shot to work through their growing pains now, rather than doing it in September. But it hasn’t helped make the quarterback picture any less murky to this point, the story went on to say.

Steelers coach Mike Tomlin told reporters that QB Russell Wilson is dealing with a calf issue that he woke up with and he’s considered day-to-day. Justin Fields took the first-team reps.

A murky situation continues to get murky, and it's unlikely to clear up any time soon. Wilson was reportedly the shoo-in as the lead guy through times this summer, but if Fields ends up shining with his opportunities, we can imagine that sentiment flipping. We'll keep an eye on the situation, but neither QB is an obvious click in fantasy as it currently stands.

Standing before a horde of media Tuesday for the first time since being acquired during an offseason trade, Justin Fields essentially said he sees an open competition with Russell Wilson for the Pittsburgh Steelers’ starting quarterback job.

The reality of the situation is that — barring injury — there is no chance that Fields will be the starting quarterback over Wilson for the season opener Sept. 8 in Atlanta.

The beat reporter's assurance should boost Wilson up the rankings a little bit, but let's not get ahead of our skis. The veteran looked terrible during his two seasons in Denver and could still cede time to Fields. Neither is worth more than a speculative add in deep SuperFlex leagues.

Steelers coach Mike Tomlin reiterated that Russell Wilson “has pole position” to be the starting QB. Not against competition. And “when it’s time to compete, Justin will be given an opportunity to show his capabilities.”

He said Justin Fields “oozes talent.”

Wilson deserves to have competition after his showing in Denver, but in the early stages, it looks as if it's his job to lose. He should be considered off the radar in typical 1QB leagues, but if anything were to happen that granted Fields the job, the latter would be right back in QB1 conversations.

Bears QB Justin Fields is off the injury report and will start Sunday against the Lions.

Fields is immediately placed back into top-10 QB territory, and D.J. Moore is a solid WR2 with upside for more after finishing the first five weeks of the season with 531 receiving yards and five touchdowns.
