Week 10 is here, so it’s truly a great day to be great. Today’s goal is to break down the week’s key fantasy football questions facing the quarterback position before producing the group’s specific ranks.

Take a bow, Justin Fields
On the one hand, the Bears have lost five of their last six games. On the other, their second-year quarterback has been flashing high-level rushing goodness on an every-week basis.
- Week 1: 11 carries-28 rush yards-0 rush TD
- Week 2: 8-20-1
- Week 3: 8-47-0
- Week 4: 7-52-0
- Week 5: 8-47-0
- Week 6: 12-88-0
- Week 7: 14-82-1
- Week 8: 8-60-1
- Week 9: 15-178-1
The latter performance included some truly breathtaking moments, most notably Fields’ 61-yard scramble to the house that included all sorts of broken tackles along the way.
It’s fair to give Lamar Jackson the nod as the position’s most-lethal rusher. Kings stay kings after all, but just realize Fields has been the most productive quarterback this season when it comes to fantasy points per game from purely rushing.
- Fields (9.4 fantasy points per game from rushing)
- Jalen Hurts (8.6)
- Lamar Jackson (8.4)
- Josh Allen (7.9)
- Daniel Jones (6.8)
- Marcus Mariota (5.4)
- Kyler Murray (5.3)
Fields has ripped off five straight top-12 fantasy finishes and now finds himself threatening to leap into the position’s top-six options ahead of Sunday’s smash spot against the Lions’ 32nd-ranked scoring defense.
