Yahoo Sports Fantasy analyst Tera Roberts explains why Fantasy managers should have faith in Pittsburgh’s QB in Week 5.

The Steelers plan to start Justin Fields in Week 5 and that’s not surprising at all.
He’s been QB six this season averaging 18.7 fantasy points per game, but over the past two weeks he’s been on a roll as QB two behind only Jayden Daniels averaging 25.7 Fantasy points per game.
The key here has been a slight increase in field volume as he has gained the trust of new offensive coordinator Arthur Smith Fields has made over 30 attempts in the last two games.
He remains quite effective and he found the end zone on the ground three times here.
This week’s game against Dallas is tough, but frankly, Dallas’ defense really doesn’t look like itself here and is only making things worse.
They will be without Micah Parsons.
What we’re looking for in this performance is a similar outing to Lamar Jackson against Dallas and all three of us, Jackson’s passing volume is low, but Jackson had 87 rushing yards and a touchdown.
What we’re looking for here from Justin Fields is 200 yards through the air, a passing touchdown plus 80 yards on the ground and another touchdown.
