Who Should I Start? Jacoby Brissett or Trey Lance

Tuesday, November 25, 9:56 AM

Arizona Cardinals quarterback Jacoby Brissett continues to put up solid numbers on a weekly basis, and he can be a solid option in deep leagues or two-quarterback formats. The veteran has thrown for over 250 yards in each of his six starts, while totaling 11 touchdowns and just three interceptions. Last week, he threw for 317 yards and a touchdown in the team's loss to the Jaguars while adding 20 rushing yards. He has been given a huge volume of pass attempts with a limited run game and a defense that typically leaves him playing from behind. He's put together impressive numbers, and he will get at least one more start this week against the Buccaneers before Kyler Murray (foot) is eligible to return from IR. Given how productive he has been, the Cards may opt to stick with Brissett, depending on their direction for the future beyond this season. For fantasy purposes, Brissett can be a solid option this week against the Bucs, but a Week 14 matchup with the Rams would be tough even if he gets another start.

Los Angeles Chargers quarterback Trey Lance started the second quarter of the team's 27-13 preseason win against the New Orleans Saints and eventually led a 14-play, 85-yard scoring drive towards the end of the half. The 25-year-old, a former first-round pick, got it done more with his legs than his arm, completing seven of 14 passes for 55 yards through the air while rushing for 48 yards and a touchdown on seven carries. Although he was up and down with his accuracy and had a fumbled snap, Lance looked confident and poised, building off the momentum he gained in the Hall of Fame Game last week. Overall, Lance easily outplayed backup Taylor Heinicke and made a strong case to be Justin Herbert's primary backup this season.
