Who Should I Start? C.J. Beathard or Lamar Jackson

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.

Baltimore Ravens quarterback Lamar Jackson posted a huge game on the ground during the 22-19 loss to the Colts. The former MVP ended the game with 101 yards and two touchdowns on 14 carries while completing 22 of his 31 throws for 202 yards. The lack of pass protection didn't allow for many scoring opportunities through the air but Jackson salvaged his week by finding running room more often than not. With Justice Hill (foot) out and Gus Edwards (concussion) leaving early, Jackson was the main beneficiary when it came to running the ball. In Week 4, they'll face the toughest defense they've seen so far in the Cleveland Browns.
