Who Should I Start? Colt McCoy or Joe Burrow

Monday, August 28, 3:02 PM

The Arizona Cardinals released veteran quarterback Colt McCoy on Monday. McCoy has been getting reps with the first-team offense during the preseason but looks to be the odd man out after the team traded for Joshua Dobbs. The 36-year-old started 36 games and appeared in 56 games over the last 13 seasons, passing for 7,975 yards, 34 touchdowns, and 32 interceptions. He could have some interest from other organizations. After his release, Dobbs and rookie quarterback Clayton Tune will seemingly compete to be the team's Week 1 starter against the Washington Commanders. Both will have low ceilings in a mediocre Cardinals' offense. Kyler Murray (PUP) will miss at least the first four games of 2023.

Cincinnati Bengals quarterback Joe Burrow (calf) is improving from a calf issue that had him questionable to play in Week 3. Burrow was able to practice in full all week and won't enter Sunday's game in Week 4 against the Tennessee Titans with an injury designation. The 26-year-old's calf issue is still worth keeping an eye on after he looked extremely limited with his mobility in the Monday night win over the Los Angeles Rams. Burrow and the Bengals offense have gotten off to a slow start in the first three weeks, likely because Burrow missed all of training camp and the preseason due to his calf injury. However, he finally got top wideout Ja'Marr Chase involved on Monday, and his timing and accuracy should only improve the more he plays. Burrow should be considered a low-end QB1 in fantasy against the Titans.
