Who Should I Start? Brock Purdy or Jaxson Dart

Saturday, November 15, 4:24 AM

San Francisco 49ers quarterback Brock Purdy (toe) has no designation on the team's final injury report ahead of their divisional clash with the Arizona Cardinals in Week 11. Purdy was listed as questionable in each of the last two weeks before ultimately being scratched from both contests. Sunday's action will be his first time back on the field since Week 4 and just his third start of the season. Purdy's return to action coincides with that of Ricky Pearsall (knee), which means the quarterback will have Pearsall, Jauan Jennings, and George Kittle all on the field for the first time since Week 1. Arizona has played well against opposing quarterbacks this season, but backup quarterback Mac Jones (knee) passed for 284 yards and a touchdown with one interception against the Cardinals back in Week 3. Similar results are within reach for Purdy, who projects as a borderline QB1/QB2 in Week 11.

New York Giants rookie quarterback Jaxson Dart (concussion) has officially been ruled out for his team's Week 11 matchup against the Green Bay Packers, per Tom Pelissero of NFL Network. Dart suffered a concussion that forced him to exit early from his team's Week 10 loss to the Chicago Bears and has spent this week in the league's concussion protocol. However, Giants interim head coach Mike Kafka recently said that Dart is progressing well, so he may be on track to return in Week 12 against the Detroit Lions. With Dart sidelined against Green Bay, quarterback Jameis Winston will make his first start of the season for New York. In 12 games (seven starts) for the Cleveland Browns in 2024, Winston threw for 2,121 yards, 13 touchdowns, and 12 interceptions. The veteran gunslinger profiles as a low-end fantasy QB2 in Week 11 against the Packers.
