Who Should I Start? Jameis Winston or Kyler Murray

Wednesday, October 23, 1:24 PM

The Cleveland Browns will officially start veteran quarterback Jameis Winston in Week 8 against the division-rival Baltimore Ravens with Deshaun Watson (Achilles) out for the year and Dorian Thompson-Robinson (finger) nursing an injury, according to head coach Kevin Stefanski. With Watson done for the year, the Browns also signed Bailey Zappe to their active roster, and he could serve as Winston's backup if DTR is inactive on Sunday. Winston has appeared in five games in 2024, completing six of 12 pass attempts for 83 yards and a touchdown, which came in the Week 7 loss to the division-rival Cincinnati Bengals. The 30-year-old has plenty of NFL experience, but Thompson-Robinson could eventually take over the starting gig if Winston plays poorly. In an offense lacking explosive weapons now that Amari Cooper is out of town, Winston will be a low-end QB2, at best, in fantasy this weekend.

Arizona Cardinals quarterback Kyler Murray had a strong performance in the team's 17-15 victory over the Los Angeles Chargers. Murray rushed for 64 yards, including a 44-yard go-ahead touchdown run early in the fourth quarter. Through the air, Murray added 145 yards, one touchdown, and one interception on 14 of 25 pass attempts. While those may not be the flashiest passing numbers in the world, Murray took what the defense gave him and was able to make winning plays on the ground. He remains a must-start in fantasy as the Cardinals travel to Miami in Week 8.
