Justin Fields

In most years, a 40:1 TD:INT and 10 rushing touchdowns at the helm of an undefeated team would give a player a pretty compelling case for the Heisman. That was Fields last season, but he was up against a historic season from Joe Burrow for the award. Now Burrow is off to the NFL and Fields is the top overall player in college fantasy football, and he’s arguably worthy of that distinction in a non-fantasy lens as well. At 6-3, 228 with powerful athleticism and a big arm, Fields simply takes over games every time he steps on the field. He had eight games with at least one rushing touchdown on top of multiple passing touchdowns. Tack on the fact that he plays in a well-designed offense loaded with weapons like Chris Olave and Garrett Wilson and there’s reason to believe Fields can come close to replicating his 2019 passing stats. There’s also a chance that Fields’ rushing production sees a slight uptick with J.K. Dobbins gone and Ohio State having somewhat of an unproven backfield by its usual standards. Fields’ ability to affect the game through the air and on the ground, along with his stellar supporting cast, make him the clear top player for fantasy in 2020.
