Who Should I Start? Andy Dalton or Jacoby Brissett

Carolina Panthers veteran quarterback Andy Dalton (thumb) is active for the Week 9 contest against the Green Bay Packers on Sunday and will serve as the backup to Bryce Young, who is returning from a one-game absence due to an ankle sprain, according to Mike Kaye of The Charlotte Observer. The 38-year-old Dalton made his first start of the year in place of the injured Young last weekend and fell flat in the blowout loss to the Buffalo Bills, going 16-for-24 passing for 175 yards, no touchdowns, and one interception. The Red Rifle sustained a broken right thumb in the process, which limited him in practice this week. Dalton is apparently good to go as the backup this weekend, though, so third-stringer Mike White will be a healthy scratch.

Arizona Cardinals quarterback Jacoby Brissett completed 21 of 31 pass attempts for 261 yards, two touchdowns, and no interceptions while adding five carries for four yards in Monday night's 27-17 win over the Dallas Cowboys. Brissett has now thrown for at least 260 yards with two touchdowns in all three games as a starter, filling in for an injured Kyler Murray (foot). The 32-year-old will be hard to send to the bench as he has led the Cardinals to their three highest point totals of the season in his starts. Brissett has helped unlock second-year wideout Marvin Harrison Jr., who set a career high in receptions on Monday night, as well as tight end Trey McBride, who has now scored four touchdowns in Brissett's starts. The veteran has given Arizona their best chance to win, and it will be interesting to see what head coach Jonathan Gannon's decision will be as they head on the road to face the division-leading Seattle Seahawks in Week 10.
