Who Should I Start? C.J. Beathard or Justin Fields

Jacksonville Jaguars quarterback C.J. Beathard went 8-for-10 for 134 yards, a touchdown, and a near-perfect passer rating of 152.1 in Saturday's 31-18 preseason win over the Miami Dolphins. The vet came into camp with a leg up on rookie Nathan Rourke for the QB2 spot behind Trevor Lawrence, but the latter has been applying some pressure with his play through two games. Beathard was the second QB to take over after Lawrence in this one, leading three consecutive scoring drives to close out the first half. The performance was highlighted by a 74-yard touchdown strike to sophomore wide receiver Tim Jones, who broke open on the left side of the field and cruised in untouched for the score. Rourke quarterbacked the entire second half of the game, which saw the Jaguars put up two more touchdowns. Still, the Ohio native finished with a measly 74 passing yards on only six attempts, as Jacksonville opted to go with a more ground-heavy attack. At this point, Beathard has held onto his QB2 position but is still firmly off the fantasy radar unless something happens to Lawrence.

Chicago Bears quarterback Justin Fields couldn't muster up much at all as the Chiefs defense put up a dominant performance. The third-year signal caller threw for just 99 yards with one touchdown and one interception while gathering 47 yards on 11 carries. He completed just 11 of his 22 attempts and if it wasn't for the lone score, he would have produced a single-digit fantasy outing. Fields has had a rough go of it early on this season, so the Week 4 matchup against the Broncos becomes even more important for this offense to get back on track and regain hope.
