Who Should I Start? Case Keenum or Cooper Rush

Sunday, August 25, 3:19 AM

Houston Texans quarterback Case Keenum started the final preseason game against the Los Angeles Rams but was injured during the match. Keenum appeared to hurt his arm while following through on a throw. He completed 4 of 8 passes for 32 yards. He narrowly avoided an interception on a misfire with wide receiver John Metchie III, who was open, before being replaced by fourth-string quarterback Tim Boyle. Boyle performed well, completing 9 of 13 passes for 64 yards and a touchdown to fullback Troy Hairston in the first half at NRG Stadium. Pro Bowl quarterback C.J. Stroud did not play as he prepares for the season opener against the Indianapolis Colts on September 8. Davis Mills has secured the backup role and is set to be Stroud's primary backup. With Keenum now waiting to see if he or Boyle will be chosen as the third-string quarterback, Keenum may have the edge given his quasi-coach role in C.J. Stroud's development.

Dallas Cowboys quarterback Cooper Rush has struggled to get the offense moving in his two starts, leaving the door open for quarterback Trey Lance to potentially get some playing time in the coming weeks. Rush did throw for 354 yards on 55 pass attempts last week given the nature of the game, but most of his fantasy production came in garbage time. If Dallas is blown out again like they are projected to be, Rush may cede those late-game snaps to Lance. Rush also may be without his top two pass-catchers, with CeeDee Lamb (back, foot) missing Thursday's practice and Jake Ferguson (concussion) trending towards missing. Dallas takes on Washington on Sunday and even though it is a solid matchup for opposing quarterbacks, Rush should be avoided.
