Who Should I Start? Joe Burrow or Jaxson Dart

Thursday, December 11, 3:07 PM

Cincinnati Bengals quarterback Joe Burrow was very contemplative about his future during a press conference on Wednesday, leading to many raised eyebrows around the league. "If I want to keep doing this, I have to have fun doing this. I have been through a lot. If it's not fun, then what am I doing it for? That is the mindset I am trying to bring to the table," Burrow said. The star QB also added that he has "a lot of things going on" right now, both personal and football-related. We don't know exactly what Burrow is thinking, but he could be losing trust in the Bengals' front office or wondering how long he wants to continue to play football if he keeps getting beaten up. The 29-year-old suffered the third serious injury of his career in Week 2 -- a turf-toe injury that required surgery. ESPN's Adam Schefter points out that Burrow has been sacked a whopping 203 times in 73 career games. It's something to keep an eye on going forward, but for fantasy football purposes, Burrow will continue to be a strong QB1 option as long as he's in Cincy.

New York Giants rookie quarterback Jaxson Dart returned in Week 13 against the New England Patriots after missing the past two games due to a concussion, completing 17 of 24 passes for 139 yards and a touchdown while adding four rushes for 20 yards on the ground. Dart wasn't as active as a runner in his first game back from injury, with the four carries being his fewest in a game as a starter. He still took a huge hit on a scramble on the Giants' second drive of the game, but he managed to avoid any big collisions from that point forward. Despite the blowout loss on Monday night, the 22-year-old has been impressive in eight starts this season, completing 63.6% of his passes for 1,556 yards with 11 touchdowns and three interceptions to go with 61 carries for 337 yards and seven touchdowns as a runner. Dart will get a chance to regroup during the team's bye in Week 14. The first-rounder will next take the field in Week 15 against the division-rival Commanders, the first week of the fantasy playoffs in most leagues.
