Who Should I Start? Gardner Minshew or Malik Willis

Las Vegas Raiders quarterback Gardner Minshew II could be in for his last rodeo in Week 12. His team will take on the Denver Broncos, and QB Aidan O'Connell (thumb) won't be able to play. He's still recovering from a thumb injury. Minshew will have his hands full with a Denver Broncos defense that just held Kirk Cousins and the Atlanta Falcons to six points in a Week 11 blowout game. The 28-year old Raiders signal-caller has thrown eight touchdowns, but tossed nine interceptions and lost a fumble this season. It could be an ugly game, and it's hard to trust him in 1QB leagues. He should be started in 2QB/Superflex leagues, though. He's not always been bad, just wildly inconsistent. Garbage time production counts for fantasy points, too.

Even if Green Bay Packers quarterback Malik Willis doesn't start in Week 4 against the undefeated division-rival Minnesota Vikings on Sunday, head coach Matt LaFleur could possibly use Willis in some packages to keep the Vikings on their toes. If Jordan Love (knee) returns for the first time since spraining his left knee in the Week 1 loss to the Philadelphia Eagles in Brazil, he won't be 100 percent. The Vikings are preparing to see both Love and Willis on Sunday. Long-time NFL QB Chase Daniel is firmly against the Packers pushing Love to play this week, especially against an ultra-aggressive Vikings D. "You want to know the worst-case situation for the Packers? Love gets destroyed in the pocket and re-aggravates the knee. Play this smart for the long term and play the hot hand. Malik Willis can win this game for you," Daniel said.
