Who Should I Start? Brandon Allen or Mac Jones

Thursday, March 13, 2:42 PM

Free-agent quarterback Brandon Allen is signing a one-year deal with the Tennessee Titans, according to NFL insider Mike Garafolo. Allen was originally a sixth-round selection by the Jacksonville Jaguars in 2016 out of Arkansas and has spent time with five NFL organizations. Overall, the 32-year-old has completed just under 57% of his passing attempts for 1,810 yards, 11 touchdowns, and eight interceptions in 18 career games (one start). He'll now join Will Levis in Tennessee's quarterback room, and the Titans seem to be signaling that they are leaning toward picking a quarterback with the No. 1 overall pick in the 2025 NFL Draft. It would not be a surprise if Levis is dealt for a late-round pick, and Tennessee selects Miami quarterback Cam Ward next month.

San Francisco 49ers quarterback Mac Jones (knee, oblique) will see his sixth start of the season as Brock Purdy (toe) has been ruled out once again. Jones' record improved to 4-1 after last week's win over the Atlanta Falcons, despite it being his least productive game of the season, finishing 17-for-26 with 152 yards and one interception. In Week 8, Jones will be up against the Houston Texans, who feature one of the best defenses in the league in 2025. The Texans have allowed the fewest points in the league, the second-worst collective completion percentage for opposing quarterbacks (57.8%), and just four passing touchdowns. Jones has worked his way into two top-12 finishes already this year, but with another potential defensive slog in the works, he ranks as a mid-range QB2. Jones should be kept out of starting lineups in Week 8, though he deserves consideration in two-QB and superflex formats.
