Throws late touchdown Fields completed 26 of 39 passes for 285 yards and one touchdown while adding 35 yards on seven rushes in the Bears' 17-9 loss to the Vikings on Monday. Impact Fields could've had a much better game, but the coaching staff chose to go with a run-heavy approach for the first three quarters despite facing a Vikings defense that was one to target. Once the Bears were down by 14 points in the fourth quarter, the team finally turned Fields loose, and he had two drives in which he moved the Bears down the field, but threw a number of incomplete passes in the end zone. However, with time expiring, he threw a touchdown to Jesper Horsted to salvage his fantasy day. He'll finish the fantasy playoffs with a pair of favorable matchups against the Seahawks and Giants, and his rushing ability should give him a reasonable scoring floor with potential for upside.
