Could see larger role Week 2 Fields is expected to play more snaps than he did Week 1 in Sunday's game against the Bengals, though he'll still back up starting quarterback Andy Dalton in the contest, Ian Rapop... Impact The rookie first-round selection was on the field for five plays in his NFL debut last week against the Rams, completing both of his pass attempts for 10 yards and rushing once for a three-yard touchdown. The Bears have been pleased with Fields' progression through training camp, the preseason and Week 1 and 2 practices, and even though he's expected to be rewarded with an increased package of plays Sunday, Dalton is still likely to dominate the reps under center if he's able to keep the Bears competitive. Fields should take over starting duties at some point later this season and could emerge as a high-end fantasy asset due to his rushing ability, but he's not a startable option in most leagues at this juncture.
