How this is measured
Each bar is the league at his position; the marker is him. Right is better, the dashed line is the median. Ranks are out of the qualifying pool, ties shown as T-, and move every week as the pool changes.
Fields scores 15.9 standard points a game, QB18 of 35 QBs with enough games. Most weeks land between 4.6 and 26.4; 3 boom weeks (25+) and 4 busts (under 12).
Fields scores 15.9 half-PPR points a game, QB18 of 35 QBs with enough games. Most weeks land between 4.6 and 26.4; 3 boom weeks (25+) and 4 busts (under 12).
Fields scores 15.9 PPR points a game, QB18 of 35 QBs with enough games. Most weeks land between 4.6 and 26.4; 3 boom weeks (25+) and 4 busts (under 12).
How this is measured
Fantasy points are nflverse's standard and full-PPR scoring (6 points for a rushing or receiving touchdown, 4 for a passing touchdown, minus 2 for an interception or a lost fumble); half PPR is the average of the two. Ranks are points a game among players at his position with at least half the most games played. Most weeks is his 20th to 80th percentile game. Bars are green on a boom week and red on a bust; the dashed line is the starter line, the points a game of the QB12 in a 12-team league. The format you pick is remembered on this device.
How he's usedhis fingerprint, where the ball finds him and when
Motion is part of the plan: 69% of his dropbacks come with pre-snap movement (league 53%). He runs when it breaks down: 11% of his dropbacks end in a scramble (league 5%). He beats the blitz: +0.28 EPA a dropback better when blitzed than not (league +0.05).
How this is measured
Every trait is a share of his own dropbacks, so volume does not move it. The marker is him among the league's qualifying quarterbacks; the dashed line is the median. Styles are not grades: a high or low percentile is a description, not a verdict. Play action, screen, RPO, motion and blitz flags come from FTN charting and read low in a week it has not published.
Fields's -13.7 EPA is 41st of 56 quarterbacks. The biggest share comes after the catch (+71.9, 6th percentile per dropback). His interceptions rank in the 96th percentile (-5.4). Sacks cost him more than most (-41.5, 17th percentile).
career -0.13 over 2021–2024 · his 3rd best of 5
How this is measured
Every dropback and run this season, split by what happened. Completions divide at the catch: the yards in the air, and his credited share of what came after (nflverse's air EPA and QB EPA). Per dropback counts scrambles as dropbacks. The percentile is him among the qualifying quarterbacks, higher is better, so a cost smaller than most ranks high. The parts add up to the totals above; the career strip counts seasons with at least 50 attempts.
He throws short middle 1.5× as often as the league (17% of his attempts against 11%) and gains +0.26 EPA a throw there.
How this is measured
Every pass attempt with a charted depth and direction this season; sacks and throws with no charted direction are left out. Left and right are as the offense sees the field. Cells with fewer than three throws show no EPA.

Dropbacks are steady: 24.7 a game over his last three against 25.7 for the season. At or above a starter's median in yards in 4 of 9 games.
How this is measured
Bars are his week. The shaded band is the league's middle half at his position, every qualifying player-game this season, and the dashed line is its median. The solid line is his trailing three games. An × on the baseline is a game his team played without him; a dotted tick is the bye.
He has faced the 19th-toughest slate vs the pass: his opponents rank 16.8 of 32 on average (league middle 16.7).

His yards climb as the defense gets softer (r = 0.75): the schedule has been doing some of the work.
Careerseason by season, back to his rookie year
His best year was 2023, 2,562 passing yards in 13 games with CHI. This season's 139.9 a game puts him on pace for 2,378 over 17, close to it.
