Who Should I Start? Joe Burrow or Brock Purdy

The Miami Dolphins reportedly made a strong push for quarterback Joe Burrow ahead of the 2020 season. According to Adam Schefter, the Dolphins offered the Bengals four first-round picks for Burrow before the draft. Obviously, the Bengals declined and believed that Burrow would be their franchise quarterback. The Bengals were right to gamble on Burrow, who has been one of the best quarterbacks in the league when healthy. After losing out on Burrow, the Dolphins decided to select Tua Tagovailoa with the fifth-overall pick during the 2020 draft. Tagovailoa has been mostly average during his time with the Dolphins and was recently benched by the organization. This trade could've completely changed the direction of the Dolphins franchise.

San Francisco 49ers quarterback Brock Purdy is in line for another strong showing in Week 16 when he takes on the Indianapolis Colts on Monday night. The Colts' defense will be a tougher test than he saw against Tennessee last week, but there is room for optimism. Indianapolis has allowed the third most passing yards this season, and over their last four games, they have given up an average of 286.5 yards per game. Purdy may be missing a weapon if Ricky Pearsall (knee/ankle) is held out, but he will have the trio of Christian McCaffrey, Jauan Jennings, and George Kittle at his disposal. Purdy projects as a QB1 for the semifinal round of the fantasy football playoffs and can be plugged into starting lineups.
