Who Should I Start? Jeff Driskel or Joe Burrow

Sunday, August 25, 11:25 PM

Washington Commanders quarterback Jeff Driskel got the starting nod in Sunday's preseason finale as the Commanders opted to rest starting quarterback Jayden Daniels and backup Marcus Mariota. Driskel tallied 73 passing yards while going 12-for-18 with an interception and no scores. His longest pass of the evening was for 12 yards to wideout Mitchell Tinsley. While his performance was quite underwhelming, he faced many New England starters. Over the previous two preseason games, the 31-year-old totaled 169 passing yards with 68 rushing yards. Driskel is currently listed as the number three option on the depth chart, and seeing him get the starting nod in this game solidifies his position on the depth chart. Driskel has a tough path to being fantasy-relevant in 2024 and will only get an opportunity in the regular season due to injuries to the other two passers on the roster.

Cincinnati Bengals quarterback Joe Burrow (knee) will practice this week. "Just sore," head coach Zac Taylor said. Burrow was seen wearing a sleeve on his surgically repaired left knee in Monday night's 27-20 win over the Dallas Cowboys. It's something to keep an eye on down the stretch of the season, but Burrow will practice this week and should be fine to start in Week 15 versus the Tennessee Titans. Despite facing a Titans defense that has been surprisingly good in 2024, Burrow should remain a top-five fantasy QB in Week 15 fantasy lineups. The 28-year-old has been dicing up opposing defenses most of the year and enters the week as the QB3 in overall fantasy points, behind only Lamar Jackson and Josh Allen. Burrow has a total of 3,706 passing yards and has thrown 33 touchdowns and only six interceptions in 2024. Leave him locked into your starting lineups.
