30 NFL records that could be broken this season

27. Justin Fields, Rushing yards by a QB

Justin Fields has been lighting the world on fire. He was a fantasy dominator in the middle of the season, changing the face of the sport with his running ability. He finished the season sixth in rushing yards, ahead of some stars like Christian McCaffrey and Kenneth Walker III. Fields was unstoppable with his dual-threat ability for a few weeks.

This season, the Chicago Bears will lean into his running ability. They already found a good formula to avoid big hits on Fields. This isn’t the Lamar Jackson offense. Fields was running for his life on what he thought were passing plays.

The Bears made a conscious effort to upgrade the offensive line and receiving core. They used the number-one overall pick to trade for DJ Moore (as just a trade down). They signed Nate Davis and drafted Darnell Wright to play on the line. There are legit investments in opening the field for Fields.

This season, there will be tape on Fields, but he will change his game just enough to prevent teams from stopping him. His arm will only get better, and that will cause defenses to stand back. He needs to beat Jackson’s 1,206 yards from 2019. Fields took about half the season to get going, and he still had 1,143 yards. Playing at the height of his skill set for 17 weeks, Fields will finish the year a record holder.
