Who Should I Start? Jacoby Brissett or Joe Burrow

Tuesday, November 11, 9:50 AM

Arizona Cardinals quarterback Jacoby Brissett has posted solid numbers since moving into the starting role, and he'll keep the starting job while Kyler Murray (foot) spends at least the next three weeks on IR. Brissett has thrown for over 250 yards in each of his four starts and has thrown for exactly two touchdowns in each outing. He added a touchdown run as well in the team's win over the Cowboys in Week 9, and in Week 10, he threw for 258 passing yards on 44 pass attempts against the Seahawks. Coach Jonathan Gannon has shown plenty of trust in Brissett to air it out, and this week, he has a favorable matchup against the 49ers. San Francisco has allowed the ninth-most fantasy points to quarterbacks this season, so Brissett is definitely worth a look as a streaming option or as a QB2 in Week 11.

ESPN's Ben Baby reports that Cincinnati Bengals quarterback Joe Burrow (toe) is taking part in the portion of practice on Wednesday that is open to the media. It was an unpadded practice for the Bengals, and Burrow threw passes in sweatpants and a helmet. The Bengals opened their 21-day practice window on Monday, and the 28-year-old signal-caller is eyeing a potential return for the Thanksgiving Day game against the division-rival Baltimore Ravens in three weeks. He will officially be listed as limited on Wednesday. Whether the former first overall pick actually plays in three weeks on Turkey Day will depend on how much progress he makes and the team's record at that point. Cincy isn't going to rush the face of the franchise back if their chances of making the postseason are slim. Still, fantasy managers should be looking to pick Burrow up and stash him if he's available on the waiver wire.
