Who Should I Start? Drew Lock or Joe Burrow

Seattle Seahawks quarterbacks Jalen Milroe and Drew Lock will split the reps in the team's first preseason game against the Las Vegas Raiders on Thursday. Reporters are expecting the two quarterbacks to split half of the game on Thursday as the Seahawks will rest Sam Darnold, along with several other key starters. Offensive coordinator Klint Kubiak is also expected to call several QB runs for Milroe when he's in the game against the Raiders, which makes the rookie an interesting choice for preseason DFS contests. Milroe and Lock are battling in training camp to be the backup to Darnold when the regular season opens. If he were to get on the field in 2025, Milroe would be very interesting from a fantasy perspective thanks to his elite rushing upside.

Cincinnati Bengals quarterback Joe Burrow returned in the Week 13 win over the Baltimore Ravens. The signal-caller had trouble completing his throws (24-for-46). However, he still tossed for 261 yards and two touchdowns. While Burrow only had eight yards off three carries, he looked good from a mobility standpoint, which was certainly refreshing for fantasy managers. With the Bengals coming off a much-needed victory, snapping a four-game skid, they will look to remain on the winning path by taking down the Bills in Week 14. Fortunately, Burrow will have Tee Higgins (concussion) back in the lineup after a one-game absence. The former LSU Tiger also likely got rid of any residual rust caused by the lengthy stint on the shelf. As such, he should (in theory) improve as it pertains to his completion percentage, considering he's historically been an accurate passer. Although the weather in Buffalo can be a concern at this point in the season, it doesn't appear as if it will be a significant issue. All things considered, Burrow is a must-start, especially with Sunday's contest projected to be the highest-scoring game of the Week.
