Who Should I Start? Jake Browning or Skylar Thompson

Tuesday, April 23, 2:06 PM

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.

Miami Dolphins quarterback Skylar Thompson completed 15 of 24 passes for 135 yards, zero touchdowns, and two interceptions during Saturday's loss to the Jacksonville Jaguars. He also tallied 18 rushing yards. Ultimately, Thompson finishes the preseason with a 59.7 percent completion rate, three touchdowns, and four picks. He should make the 53-man roster, but it remains to be seen whether he or Mike White (concussion) will occupy the No. 2 role behind Tua Tagovailoa.
