Who Should I Start? Joe Burrow or Kenny Pickett

Sunday, October 27, 4:53 PM

Cincinnati Bengals quarterback Joe Burrow threw for 234 yards, one touchdown, and one interception off 26-for-37 passing in Sunday's meeting with the Eagles. He added three carries for 15 yards. The Bengals were without Tee Higgins (quadriceps), who had three touchdowns in the previous three games. However, the signal-caller still had an acceptable showing, although his efforts couldn't bring his team to .500. Hopefully, Higgins will be healthy enough to return for the Week 9 matchup with the visiting Las Vegas Raiders. Still, even if Higgins isn't back on the field, Burrow should remain a starting fantasy option.

Philadelphia Eagles quarterback Kenny Pickett completed six of nine passes for 58 yards during the team's 3-26 preseason loss to the Minnesota Vikings. The former first-round pick played the entire first half and ended the preseason with his third-straight underwhelming performance. While Pickett has started all three preseason games and has not played with any of the starting receiving corps, he has done little to nothing. While third-string quarterback Tanner McKee had a poor performance as well Saturday, he has looked much better this preseason and has made a strong case to be the No. 2 option behind starter Jalen Hurts. Because the Eagles made a trade for him this offseason, the 26-year-old will likely be the backup come Week 1. With that said, McKee is a name to watch this upcoming week.
