Who Should I Start? Jeff Driskel or Will Levis

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.

Tennessee Titans quarterback Will Levis (shoulder) is practicing on Wednesday following his two-game absence with a shoulder injury. The 2023 second-round pick has not missed a practice over the last two weeks, but he has been limited. The team will get a feel for how he throws and looks in a full week of practice to determine if he can start against the New England Patriots in Week 9. Veteran backup Mason Rudolph has had his ups and downs in relief of Levis, throwing for 481 yards, two touchdowns, and three interceptions in losses to the Buffalo Bills and Detroit Lions. Neither quarterback is on the fantasy football radar, but it's worth noting Calvin Ridley had his best game (10 catches, 143 yards) of the season in Week 8 with Rudolph under center. With DeAndre Hopkins out of town, Ridley will likely continue to be the team's target hog, but Levis could be a slight downgrade for his fantasy outlook.
