Rodney Fields Jr. News, Rumors, Updates - Kansas State Wildcats

No spark in loss Fields posted 14 carries for 46 yards and reeled in all two targets for 36 yards during Saturday's 35-16 defeat versus Houston.

Impact Fields continued to see meaningful work against Houston and has now logged double-digit touches in every game this season. The problem is that the explosive plays haven't followed, as FIelds was limited to 46 rushing yards in a Kansas State offense that struggled to find any rhythm during a 35-16 loss. With a rivalry matchup against Kansas on deck, fantasy managers will be looking for Fields to turn his steady workload into the chunk plays and scoring opportunities that were missing against Houston.

Bounces back in a big way Fields totaled 12 rushes for 50 yards and two touchdowns and hauled in 2 of 3 targets for one yard during Saturday's 31-26 loss against Cincinnati.

Impact Fields responded to last week's quiet outing against Tulane with one of his best fantasy performances of the season, scoring twice and providing all of Kansas State's scores on the ground. While Fields got the touchdowns, teammate Joe Jackson still handled 16 total touches and remained heavily involved in the offense, reinforcing that this is a backfield where both players are likely to have weekly roles. Fields won't always lead the backfield in touches, but he's the one most likely to end the drive in the end zone, which keeps his weekly ceiling higher than his volume would suggest.

Still getting the volume Fields had 10 rushes for 18 yards and caught his only target for zero yards during Saturday's 31-20 win versus Tulane.

Impact Fields logged double-digit carries for the third straight game, reinforcing his role as a key piece of the Kansas State backfield. The concern for fantasy managers is that Avery Johnson's explosive rushing performance and the presence of Jay Harris near the goal line limited Fields' fantasy upside. The workload remains encouraging, but the scoring opportunities have been harder to come by. For now, Fields looks more like a volume-based flex option than a true breakout candidate.

SEPTEMBER 20 • ROTOWIRE

Establishes himself as RB1 Fields recorded 13 carries for 105 yards and one touchdown during Saturday's 34-7 win over Washington State.

Impact Fields topped 100 rushing yards for the second straight game. At this point, Fields has done enough to separate himself as Kansas State's primary running back and top fantasy option in the backfield. While Joe Jackson continues to carve out a useful complementary role, particularly as a receiver, Fields has emerged as the more traditional workhorse and the clear RB1 for fantasy purposes. The Wildcats appear to have found an effective one-two punch, but Fields is the player managers should prioritize thanks to his workload, explosiveness, and back-to-back 100-yard performances.

Takes control of the backfield Fields recorded 14 rushes for 101 yards and one touchdown during Saturday's 71-3 victory against Nicholls State.

Impact Fields couldn't have asked for a much better debut in purple, logging a 100-yard rushing performance. The Oklahoma State transfer averaged more than seven yards per carry and looked every bit like the lead back in a deep and talented Wildcats backfield. While the game script allowed multiple runners to produce, Fields was the most productive option. He'll enter next week's matchup with Washington State as a strong candidate to take over the starting job.

Impact Fields was Oklahoma State's leading rusher in 2025 with 124 carries for 614 yards and a score. He also caught 28 passes for 276 yards and one touchdown.

Impact Fields had a strong redshirt freshman campaign with the Cowboys despite a dismal year overall in Stillwater.

Listed as game-time decision Fields (undisclosed) is a game-time decision for Saturday's game against Iowa State.

Impact Fields was doubtful for Saturday's game, so it was more likely than not that he would be tagged out for Week 14, but such has not happened via the Big 12's updated availability report. The running back's injury status may have improved to questionable, but it would not be surprising if he does sit out against Iowa State.

Impact Fields has been downgraded from questionable to doubtful ahead of Oklahoma State's season finale.

Fields' status for this weekend's game will continue to be tracked leading up to kickoff.

Impact Fields and the Cowboys built a 14-0 lead at halftime, however, faded fast as UCF completed a comeback and won.

Impact Fields has recorded double-digit touches in every game that he has played in this season. He's been the one consistent producer for Oklahoma State as they have tried multiple quarterbacks with little success. Starting QB Zane Flores committed four turnovers in the slugfest with Kansas State. Fields and the Cowboys will travel across the country next week to play at UCF.

NOVEMBER 16, 2025 • ROTOWIRE

Totals 59 yards at Kansas Fields recorded 15 carries for 56 yards and caught 3 of 5 targets for three yards during Saturday's 38-21 defeat to Kansas.

Oklahoma State is on a bye next week before playing Kansas State in Week 12.

NOVEMBER 2, 2025 • ROTOWIRE

Good to go Saturday Fields is good to go for Saturday's game at Kansas, per the Big 12 availability report.

Impact Fields, who was forced to miss last Saturday's loss due to an undisclosed injury, is off the injury report and will make his return to the field Saturday. He has gained 635 yards and scored two touchdowns through six games this season, so he figures to be heavily involved in the road contest.

OCTOBER 29, 2025 • ROTOWIRE

DNP for Week 9 Fields (undisclosed) did not play during Oklahoma State's 42-0 loss Saturday at Texas Tech.

Impact For 2025, Saturday marks Fields' second DNP, his first since Week 1. Since then, the running back has been highly active, with each of Oklahoma State's games including at least five carries from him. Up next for both Fields and Oklahoma State is Kansas on Nov. 1.

Dressed and stretching Fields (undisclosed) is dressed and stretching ahead of Saturday's matchup versus Texas Tech, per Scott Wright of The Oklahoman.

Impact Fields is considered a game-time decision for Saturday's game but appears to be trending towards playing. He carried the ball 21 times for 163 yards and a touchdown last week versus Cincinnati and will look to have another strong perfomance if he ends up playing Saturday.

OCTOBER 25, 2025 • ROTOWIRE

Game-time decision Saturday Fields (undisclosed) is a game-time decision for Saturday's game at Texas Tech.

Impact Fields' status has still not been decided less than two hours before Saturday's kickoff. It's an unfortunate time for this injury to pop up as he's coming off by far his best outing of the season versus Cincinnati. If he can't go, Sesi Vailahi would likely lead the Cowboys' backfield in the tough matchup.

OCTOBER 25, 2025 • ROTOWIRE

Questionable to play Saturday Fields (undisclosed) is questionable to play Saturday at Texas Tech.

Impact Fields is coming off the best performance of his career in Week 8, as he had 21 rushes for 163 yards and one touchdown and gathered in all three targets for 27 yards during a 49-17 loss to Cincinnati. The questionable tag suggests a decision on Fields' status will be made closer to Saturday's 4 p.m. ET kickoff. If he can't go, expect Sesi Vailahi and Trent Howland to see more work out of the backfield.
