Who Should I Start? Hendon Hooker or Anthony Brown Jr.

Sunday, February 2, 2:32 PM

According to Bill Barnell of ESPN.com, the Detroit Lions could release quarterback Hendon Hooker during the offseason. Barnwell noted that since the team re-signed veteran quarterback Teddy Bridgewater late in the season, it appears that the Lions do not view Hooker as a potential starting quarterback. Hooker was selected in the third round of the 2023 NFL Draft. He did not see the field during his rookie season but was able to log 32 snaps this past season. Hooker went 6-for-9 with 62 yards. He added two yards on five rushing attempts. Seeing that the team did not want to enter the postseason with Hooker as the No. 2 option is a telling sign. In addition, the Lions also signed Jared Goff to a four-year extension last May, signaling him as the QB1 for the foreseeable future. Hooker only carries low-end stash value in deeper superflex dynasty formats, as he could be given an opportunity to compete for a backup role elsewhere.

Buffalo Bills defensive back Anthony Brown has been released by the organization on Tuesday. Brown was on the practice squad, but the team has decided to move on from him following their playoff victory over the Baltimore Ravens. The departure of Brown won't impact the Bills roster considering he didn't spend any time on the active roster. The 31-year-old hasn't played since the 2023 season with the San Francisco 49ers. However, Brown was a long time full-time starter with the Dallas Cowboys before leaving the team following the 2022 season. Brown will look to catch on elsewhere ahead of next season.
