Who Should I Start? Jake Browning or Jalen Milroe

According to Cincinnati Bengals beat writer Paul Dehner Jr. of The Athletic, the team's internal options at quarterback are "not in consideration" to replace current starter Jake Browning in Week 6 against the Green Bay Packers. As such, any potential replacement would have to come from outside the building. In three starts since replacing Bengals quarterback Joe Burrow (toe) under center, Browning has thrown for 516 yards, four touchdowns, and five interceptions while leading the team to an 0-3 record. However, it does not appear Cincinnati has confidence in current backup QB Brett Rypien or practice squad QB options Mike White and Sean Clifford. Most likely, Browning will be the signal-caller in a difficult Week 6 matchup against the Packers.

Seattle Seahawks rookie quarterback Jalen Milroe entered the game in Week 5 against the Buccaneers for a speed option play, but he tossed it just a tad behind running back Kenneth Walker, leading to a fumble. It was an unfortunate result for the rookie from Alabama, as it wasn't the best play design, and it's not the easiest ask for him to come off the bench cold and be ready for the speed of NFL defenses. It was a costly fumble for Seattle, as they were driving in Tampa Bay territory and ultimately lost by a field goal. It's possible that this, combined with how well Sam Darnold has done, leads to fewer of these plays moving forward. Milroe is still a very good asset to own in dynasty, but he won't be an option in redraft, barring injury.
