Who Should I Start? Hendon Hooker or Quinn Ewers

Thursday, August 28, 9:49 AM

The Carolina Panthers came to an agreement with quarterback Hendon Hooker, according to Adam Schefter of ESPN. The former Tennessee Volunteer is set to join Carolina's practice squad after being waived by Detroit. The Lions selected Hooker in the third round in 2023, but ultimately moved on this offseason after he lost the backup QB competition against journeyman Kyle Allen. Carolina will start Bryce Young and brought back Andy Dalton, but will slot Hooker into their third QB spot heading into the season.

Miami Dolphins quarterback Quinn Ewers will make his second career start on Sunday when the Dolphins host the Buccaneers in a Sunshine State showdown. Ewers completed 20-of-30 passes for 260 passing yards with no touchdowns and two interceptions in his start against the Bengals last week, which was enough to earn a second start this week against Tampa Bay. The seventh-round rookie from Texas is still searching for his first NFL touchdown, and he's playing for a potential opportunity in the future since the team seems ready to move on from Tua Tagovailoa despite his recent contract extension. Ewers is only the QB28 this week in RotoBaller's Week 17 rankings, meaning he's not a strong starting option in all but the very deepest formats this week, even though the Bucs have dropped six of their last seven games.
