This is quite the “insurance policy” for the Chiefs. Trading for Justin Fields on the same day free agency buzz is peaking really underscores how much the front office may be sweating Patrick Mahomes’ ACL/LCL recovery timeline.

Going from the Jets’ recent offensive struggles to Andy Reid’s system is essentially going from a tricycle to a Ferrari. In Superflex leagues, Fields just became a priority “handshake” pick if you’re the Mahomes owner, and if Mahomes isn’t ready by mid-September, Fields would be a Top-12 fantasy play purely on rushing volume.
