Justin Fields 2021 (Chicago)

Justin Fields is one of the top QBs mentioned after Lawrence and Wilson. We take a look at the game against Indiana where he struggled a bit: 18/30 and 300/2, but also 3 INT. 
Indiana in 2020 had a fairly good D, including a Safety and a DE/DT who may make it to the NFL (#22 Jamar Johnson and #51 Jovan Swann). Let's see how Fields did under pressure from this defensive unit.


Fantastic play by Johnson. Fields (with all day to throw) throws it too far to the right (a deep throw would have been safer and the Safety makes a good play. It seems that Fields only saw his receiver but didn't take the D into account.



Fields on the run, which would be fine (he gets about 10 yards), but it was a 3 and 23, and he had 3 receivers somewhat open. Doesn't look great.



This is an even worse play. Fields dances to the outside, dances back into the pressure, tries to escape again and finally fires off a hopeless shot that gets rightfully intercepted.
From the Clemson - Ohio State game:


Fields (#1) under some pressure, good throw to Farrell who makes a straightforward catch.

Seth Williams 2021 (Broncos WR)

Seth Williams was drafted in the 6th round by the Broncos, but he was actually the highest scoring receiver at Auburn in 2020, ahead of Anthony Schwartz who went 3 rounds earlier. Just turned 21, good size/weight at 6'3/211.

George Kittle (2020)

"Singing hey diddle diddle with a Kittle in the middle..." We are now so used to having monster TE receivers that it's easy to overlook the achievement of Kittle - only 14 TEs in the past 30 years had multiple 1000yd seasons, and only 5 in history had multiple seasons before their 27th birthday (10 points if you can name the others besides the obvious Gronk and Kittle).

Fantasy Theory: Running Back Peak Age

Now that we know receivers peak around age 25-27 , what can we say about Running Backs?
