Who Should I Start? Hendon Hooker or Sam Ehlinger

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.

Indianapolis Colts quarterback Sam Ehlinger completed five of his six passes for 80 yards in the team's loss, his only incompletion resulting in an interception. The Colts played five quarterbacks in Sunday's contest, with Ehlinger playing behind Richardson and Flacco, solidifying his spot as the QB3 in this offense. The former Longhorn will compete with Kedon Slovis and Jason Bean for the role, and all three will be off the fantasy radar heading into the 2024 season.
