Who Should I Start? Jake Haener or Brady Cook

Saturday, September 6, 6:23 PM

New Orleans Saints quarterback Jake Haener was cut by the organization on Saturday. Haener was waived by the team last week after falling behind Spencer Rattler and Tyler Shough on the depth chart. Haener was brought back on the practice squad, but released again in order to sign defensive end Fadil Diggs. It's unclear if the Saints plan to bring back Haener again. He completed 18-of-39 passing attempts for 226 yards with one touchdown and one interception during the 2024 campaign. The 26-year-old might return to the Saints again if he clears waivers, but isn't worth rostering in fantasy formats.

New York Jets quarterback Brady Cook will garner his first start of his young career in Sunday's road outing with the Jacksonville Jaguars. Cook took the field for the first time in Week 14's 34-10 loss to the visiting Dolphins after veteran Tyrod Taylor (groin) left the contest with an injury. It wasn't a banner day for the 24-year-old, who completed just 14-of-30 pass attempts while tossing two interceptions and fumbling twice (none lost). With Taylor and Justin Fields (knee) both sidelined for Week 15, Cook will get a chance to build off his debut, but won't be afforded any favors in an underrated Jacksonville defense. The Jags are beatable through the air, although they've clamped down on the opposition's scoring chances, yielding the eleventh-fewest points per game in the NFL (20.9). Cook won't be in fantasy consideration outside of superflex and 2QB formats, and officially ranks as RotoBaller's QB34 for his matchup with Jacksonville.
