What It Means:

Fields missed the last four games with a dislocated thumb on his throwing hand. He will replace Tyson Bagent as the Bears' starter if everything goes smoothly at practice this week. In his last two full games, Fields completed 67.2 percent of his passes for 617 yards, 8 touchdowns, and 1 interception. He also rushed 15 times for 82 yards in those two contests.

Fields is the QB18 in numberFire's Week 11 rankings and our models project him for 16.6 FanDuel points, with 209.7 passing yards, 1.17 touchdowns, 0.8 interceptions, and 33.6 rushing yards. The Lions are allowing the 10th-most FanDuel points per game to quarterbacks this season.
