Fields and his illness

 three days ago Fields (illness) participated fully in practise on Thursday.

Spin: Fields' ailment, which prevented him from participating in the Bears' first practise on Wednesday following the team's Week 14 bye, was easily overcome in just one day. Fields, who missed the Bears' Week 12 defeat to the Jets due to a separated non-throwing shoulder before playing in the team's Week 13 loss to the Packers, benefited greatly from the bye week. The absence of Fields' shoulder problem on the Bears' Week 15 injury report signals that the team is not very concerned about it going forward.

Fields starts his second NFL season as Chicago's undisputed starter, according to ESPN Fantasy. The fantasy performance of the 2021 first-round choice in his first seven outings was about as awful as it gets. He finished with single digits in six of them. After that, he appeared to turn a corner because each of his following four complete games saw him finish as a top-12 fantasy quarterback. Despite playing in only 12 games, Fields finished the season with the fifth-most rushing yards among quarterbacks. Although his rushing gave him a lot of fantasy appeal, he was also an aggressive passer who led the league with a 9.8 average depth of throw.

Although the dual-threat QB has a very mediocre supporting cast, his legs make him a breakout potential worth considering in the late rounds.
