Q: It’s a quandary! For a team in a quagmire. Tremors from Trevor or fascination with Fields? Yeah, Lawrence plays the Roulette Raiders but he’s disappointed much, while Justin has been scoring just in time, and he, too, has a favorable matchup plus a new (Clay)pool toy. My head — and team — aches. Help!! I’ve used up my allotment of exclamation marks. -Mark L.
Q: Would you even contemplate playing Fields over Justin Herbert? -Randy M.
Q: Lawrence or Fields? Four points for passing TD, six for rushing.
This makes for another nice grouping of answers. I loved Fields over the summer. Really bought in to the improvement, plans, etc. and was then sorely disappointed. I even started Bailey Zappe in a Superflex league over Fields in Week 6 (the turning point, it turns out). But I’m back on the Fields hype train now. I’d start him over Lawrence for sure. I’d contemplate starting him over Herbert, but ultimately wouldn’t do it. Herbert has shown he doesn’t need more than Austin Ekeler to put up fantasy points.
As for the exclamation marks, once you start, it can be hard to stop. Why did your enthusiasm trail off, one wonders? I think you reigned it in nicely.
