Who Should I Start? Dorian Thompson-Robinson or Bo Nix

Sunday, August 24, 4:33 PM

The Philadelphia Eagles have released third-year quarterback Dorian Thompson-Robinson. Thompson-Robinson was acquired via trade and a 5th-round pick in a deal that sent Kenny Pickett to the Browns in March. The Eagles traded for Sam Howell earlier on Sunday, and with fellow third-year quarterback Tanner McKee (thumb) looking like one of the stars of this year's preseason, Thompson-Robinson became expendable. McKee is dealing with a fractured thumb and his status for Week 1 is in doubt. The Eagles' backup quarterback job has been extremely fantasy relevant of late, with Pro Bowler Jalen Hurts missing late-season action in two of the past three seasons. With a plentitude of offensive weapons at their disposal, whoever can hold the job between McKee and Howell will be worth stashing in deep Superflex and dynasty leagues.

Denver Broncos quarterback Bo Nix was solid against the Indianapolis Colts on Sunday in their 29-28 defeat. He completed 22 of 30 passes for 206 yards, three touchdown passes, one interception, and added 20 yards on the ground on three carries. Although he played well, the interception he threw in the fourth quarter proved costly, as the Broncos were up 28-23 and on the verge of field goal range, looking to go up two scores, or at least extend the game from a five-point to an eight-point lead. Nix now has three interceptions and a fumble on the season, but Sunday's performance was a step in the right direction for this Broncos offense. Nix did a good job of spreading the ball around, finding 10 different Broncos receivers, mostly leaning on Troy Franklin, who hauled in eight of his 22 completions. Next up for Nix is a tougher matchup against the Los Angeles Chargers, where he will remain a low-end QB1.
