Who Should I Start? Jameis Winston or Jalen Hurts

Monday, December 9, 6:58 PM

Despite being officially eliminated from playoff contention with their Week 14 loss to the division-rival Pittsburgh Steelers, the Cleveland Browns are sticking with Jameis Winston as their starting quarterback, according to head coach Kevin Stefanski. Winston will start this coming Sunday against the visiting Kansas City Chiefs in Week 15, where he'll be a QB2 in superflex leagues against a tough KC defense. While Winston has helped upset the division-rival Baltimore Ravens and Steelers after taking over for Deshaun Watson (Achilles) in Week 8, he's also thrown a league-high nine interceptions since. The Browns are 2-4 with Winston as the starter. Dorian Thompson-Robinson started three games as a rookie in 2023. Fantasy-wise, Winston has given desperate fantasy managers in superflex leagues more upside at the position than Watson did before his Achilles tear.

Philadelphia Eagles quarterback Jalen Hurts threw for 108 yards and two touchdowns off 14-for-21 passing in Sunday's 22-16 win over the Carolina Panthers. He added eight carries for 59 yards and a touchdown. The Eagles were expected to cruise to an easy victory over the Panthers in Week 14. However, despite earning the win, that wasn't the case, with Hurts facing constant pressure all afternoon. Still, his performance was good enough to satisfy fantasy managers. With Philadelphia sniffing another postseason berth, Hurts and company will look for another win in the Week 15 intrastate showdown with the Pittsburgh Steelers.
