Fans and fantasy managers around the globe are more than eager to know whether or not Justin Fields, the Chicago Bears quarterback, will play in Week 12. Although he is listed as questionable for the game against the New York Jets, it is highly unlikely that Fields will play tonight.He is still recovering from a shoulder injury and the franchise doesn't want to risk him in this game. Once he's 100% healthy, he'll be back on the field, as Fields has played exceptionally well this season and they won't want to risk his development.A few days ago, Bears head coach Matt Eberflus gave an update on Justin Fields' injury. Here's what he said:"Justin's status is the same, you know, it's limited. He was limited his day in practice. So we'll see where it goes. He's feeling better, every single day. And we got 48 hours to assess that, to where we're gonna go with that. It's the same thing with this, you know, it's limited because of his shoulder."Eberflus added:"He's able to do a lot of things, you know, so we're getting them in there with what he can do. And he's been doing good in there. We'll see where it goes. Like I said, it's really a three-prong effect."He continued:"You know, it's really more about the medical staff clear him all the way into that status. And then, you know, him feeling really good about his performance, being able to go out there and perform and then us coaches assessing where he is."The consensus is that with the BEars standing at 3-8, they have no realistic hopes of making the playoffs. Therefore, there is no benefit to risking their budding superstar for a potentially pointless matchup.Adam Schefter@AdamSchefterJustin Fields, listed as questionable for Sunday due to his separated shoulder, is not expected to play vs. the Jets, per sources.

Justin Fields' absence will be felt immensely by the Bears as he has played the best football of his NFL career this campaign. Mike White will be the starting quarterback for the Jets as they have decided to bench Zach Wilson after last week's loss to the New England Patriots.Alternative Week 12 fantasy options for Justin FieldsJustin Fields during Chicago Bears v Atlanta FalconsJustin Fields not playing against the Jets will be a huge blow for many fantasy football players, but there are other alternatives as well to replace the Bears quarterback. There are two quarterbacks that we believe are plausible trade targets (if your league hasn't passed/doesn't have a trade deadline).Justin Herbert, the quarterback for the Los Angeles Chargers, could be up for a big game. They will play the Arizona Cardinals, who have been quite poor defensively this season.Another quarterback who could be up for a big game is Lamar Jackson, who'll be facing the Jacksonville Jaguars. He can get you a good amount of points as the Ravens will need to rely on him to get a win over the Jaguars.Potential streamers for Week 12 include:Tom Brady, Tampa Bay Buccaneers vs. Cleveland BrownsJimmy Garoppolo, San Francisco 49ers vs. New Orleans SaintsTrevor Lawrence, Jacksonville Jaguars vs. Baltimore RavensAaron Rodgers, Green Bay Packers vs. Philadelphia EaglesMatt Ryan, Indianapolis Colts vs. Pittsburgh SteelersRyan Tennehill, Tennessee Titans vs. Cincinnati BengalsTaylor Heinicke, Washington Commanders vs. Atlanta Falcons
