Who Should I Start? Jimmy Garoppolo or Trey Lance

Las Vegas Raiders head coach Josh McDaniels said that quarterback Jimmy Garoppolo (concussion) remains in the league's concussion protocol but that he has made some progress. "It's moving (forward), we'll just see how fast it's moving," McDaniels said. The Raiders remain optimistic that Garoppolo will eventually clear the concussion protocol later this week and be available to start in Week 4 against the division-rival Los Angeles Chargers on Sunday. Fantasy managers with star wideout Davante Adams are really hoping Jimmy G plays as well. If the 31-year-old can't gain clearance, veteran backup Brian Hoyer would be forced to make the start, which in turn would lower the fantasy value of all of the team's offensive skill players significantly.

The Dallas Cowboys acquired former third overall pick, quarterback Trey Lance, from the San Francisco 49ers on Friday in exchange for a fourth-round draft pick, according to sources. The writing was on the wall for Lance to find a new home after the Niners announced Sam Darnold as Brock Purdy's backup earlier this week. The Cowboys have Dak Prescott locked in as their starter under center, but the presence of Lance will put some pressure on him to bounce back from a frustrating season in 2022. For now, the 23-year-old Lance will try to continue improving while battling with Cooper Rush for the backup job in his new digs. Until further notice, Lance remains off the fantasy radar in redraft leagues, and his long-term appeal may have only slightly improved with the move to Dallas.
