Who Should I Start? Jameis Winston or Brock Purdy

Monday, September 25, 2:49 PM

New Orleans Saints quarterback Jameis Winston came into the game in the third quarter in relief of an injured Derek Carr (shoulder) with a 17-0 lead over Green Bay on the road. Winston completed 10-of-16 passes for 101 yards with no touchdowns and no turnovers. He failed to lead his team to any points, ultimately losing the game 18-17. Four of his five drives ended in punts, with the fifth ending in a missed 46-yard field goal from rookie kicker Blake Grupe. Winston will likely make his first start next week, although Carr's injury is not as severe as initially imagined and he has not yet been ruled out for Week 4.

San Francisco 49ers quarterback Brock Purdy had his best fantasy day of the year in Thursday night's 30-12 victory over the New York Giants. He was 25-for-37 for 310 yards passing, two touchdowns, and no interceptions. The former "Mr. Irrelevant" of the 2022 draft has continued making the moniker itself irrelevant, winning his 11th consecutive game tonight. Purdy handled the absence of receiver Brandon Aiyuk without missing a beat, spreading targets all around, including getting Aiyuk substitutes Jauan Jennings and rookie Ronnie Bell involved. Early in the game, Purdy got away with a couple of risky throw decisions and while New York's defense did a commendable job bringing pressure, he consistently hung in and made tough throws. Purdy will take on the Arizona Cardinals at home in Week 4, where he'll be a worthy play in standard leagues.
