Who Should I Start? Cooper Rush or Mike White

Thursday, November 21, 12:18 PM

Dallas Cowboys owner Jerry Jones said on 105.3 The Fan that quarterback Cooper Rush gives the team the best chance to win with Dak Prescott (hamstring) out for the rest of the year. Head coach Mike McCarthy said he regrets not giving Trey Lance some run late in the blowout loss to the Houston Texans on Monday night, but apparently the Cowboys still believe that Rush is the better starting option heading into the Week 12 divisional clash against the Washington Commanders. However, if Dallas is down big again in the second half this Sunday, we'd expect Lance to enter the game and handle at least a few offensive series to get him some work. Rush threw for only 45 yards in Week 10 but went for 354 passing yards against Houston. Washington's secondary is vulnerable, but Rush will be nothing more than a low-end QB2 in superflex leagues in his third start.

Free-agent quarterback Mike White is signing with the Buffalo Bills' practice squad, per Adam Schefter. White has also been a member of the Jets and most recently, the Dolphins, where he's played 14 regular season games, throwing for 2,219 yards, nine touchdowns, and 13 interceptions. This will be White's third AFC East team in as many seasons, but as far as a fantasy asset in 2024, White shouldn't be drafted in any format. As a member of the practice squad, White would have to be activated ahead of time if he were to get any action on the field in the event of a Josh Allen and Mitch Trubisky injury. If White does get the opportunity to start, he has looked the part in his limited time on the field.
