Who Should I Start? Jacoby Brissett or Mason Rudolph

Thursday, October 30, 3:08 PM

Arizona Cardinals head coach Jonathan Gannon said on Thursday that the team is preparing quarterback Kyler Murray (foot) to start on Monday night in Week 9 versus the Dallas Cowboys. However, Tyler Drake of Arizona Sports is reporting that Murray and backup Jacoby Brissett are splitting reps with the main pass-catchers during the open portion of Thursday's practice. Brissett led off the drills, followed by Murray, which was similar to what happened on Tuesday. Murray missed Weeks 6 and 7 due to a foot sprain, but he's trending in the right direction coming out of the team's Week 8 bye. The report from Drake makes things a little less certain as to whether Murray will actually start over Brissett in a great matchup against Dallas. While Murray is trending up and would be a low-end QB1 in fantasy if he starts, nothing is official just yet.

Pittsburgh Steelers quarterback Mason Rudolph completed six of his eight pass attempts for 36 scoreless yards and an interception in Thursday night's 19-10 preseason win over the Carolina Panthers. Rudolph took the field for the team's first three offensive possessions and could not get much of anything going. The Steelers punted twice in the first quarter before Rudolph opened the second period with an ill-advised throw to Ke'Shawn Williams that Carolina picked off. Rudolph's brief showing was quickly outshined by teammate Skylar Thompson, who led Pittsburgh on three straight scoring drives. Nonetheless, the 30-year-old Rudolph should be expected to maintain QB2 duties heading into the regular season as the most experienced backup on the roster, especially if rookie Will Howard (finger) is placed on IR.
