Who Should I Start? Jake Browning or Matt Corral

The Cincinnati Bengals re-signed exclusive-rights free-agent quarterback Jake Browning to an undisclosed two-year deal on Tuesday on a contract through the 2025 season. Browning got his first real shot in the NFL last year with the Bengals when he was forced to replace Joe Burrow (wrist) after his season-ending injury. In his first nine games (seven starts) played in the NFL, he held his own and kept the Bengals competitive despite not making the playoffs, posting a league-best 70.4 completion percentage, 1,936 yards, 12 touchdowns and seven interceptions. The 28-year-old will return to being the primary backup to Burrow in 2024, so he won't have any real fantasy appeal unless Burrow misses time with another injury.

The New England Patriots have signed quarterback Matt Corral to their practice squad, according to beat writer Doug Kyed. Corral was with the Carolina Panthers during the preseason but was released on August 31 before signing with the Pats. New England then waived Corral on September 9 but he ended up clearing waivers, so he's back with the team. Bailey Zappe is the primary backup to Mac Jones while Corral and rookie Malik Cunningham are emergency/practice squad options for New England.
