Who Should I Start? Jacoby Brissett or Justin Herbert

Sunday, August 27, 9:57 AM

Washington Commanders quarterback Jacoby Brissett completed 10-of-15 passes for 96 yards and a touchdown during Saturday's win over the Cincinnati Bengals. With Sam Howell getting the night off, the Commanders turned to Brissett to lead the offense. The eighth-year journeyman looked strong in the pocket while giving Washington their first score of the game on a 39-yard pass to wide receiver Mitchell Tinsley. Although he's not the starter, Brissett appears to be a strong insurance policy that can keep Washington's offense afloat if things go south with Howell at any point.

Los Angeles Chargers quarterback Justin Herbert (finger) suffered a fractured finger on his left, non-throwing hand in the Week 4 win over the division-rival Las Vegas Raiders on Sunday, according to sources. Herbert's finger also suffered a gruesome nail injury, but he somehow finished the game and with the team's bye coming in Week 5, Herbert shouldn't miss any time. Once he returned to the game after having a split put on his fractured finger, he didn't take any snaps under center, except for a fourth-down sneak late in the game. NFL Network's Ian Rapoport said he doesn't see this being a major issue for Herbert moving forward. The 25-year-old saved his fantasy day on Sunday with two rushing touchdowns, but he should remain a strong QB1 option coming off the bye for a Week 6 matchup against the Dallas Cowboys on Monday, Oct. 16.
