Who Should I Start? Jacoby Brissett or Trevor Lawrence

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.

Jacksonville Jaguars quarterback Trevor Lawrence was 27-of-40 for 279 yards, one touchdown, and one interception in a blowout loss to the Houston Texans on Sunday. He also rushed three times for twelve yards. It was another huge letdown from the Jags offense, this time against an inferior opponent. The back-to-back near-duds are certainly concerning, as Lawrence has now underperformed his ranking each of the first three weeks. Jacksonville's first five drives ended in a missed field goal, a punt, a blocked field goal, a punt, and a fumble. Lawrence has now failed to eclipse even 18 fantasy points this year, which is a major red flag considering he was taken as the QB8 in 2023 drafts. The former first-overall pick is now off the QB1 radar until he proves otherwise. It doesn't get any easier next week against a fairly strong Atlanta secondary.
