Who Should I Start? Joe Burrow or Justin Fields

Saturday, December 13, 11:56 AM

Cincinnati Bengals quarterback Joe Burrow was having a fantastic showing in the Week 14 meeting with the Bills. Unfortunately, his solid day ended abruptly after he threw interceptions on back-to-back drives late in the fourth quarter, allowing Buffalo to erase a deficit and pick up the victory. Still, Burrow's day wasn't a complete flop, much to the delight of fantasy managers, with the signal-caller throwing for 284 yards, four touchdowns, and two picks while completing 25 of his 36 attempts. The 2020 No. 1 overall selection was in the news during the week after he appeared frustrated and displeased while speaking to the media, leaving more questions than answers not only about his future in Cincinnati, but as a quarterback in the National Football League in general. For now, the Bengals will look to keep their extremely low postseason hopes alive in Week 15 versus the Ravens. These clubs just met in Week 13, with Burrow ending the contest by passing for 261 yards and two touchdowns. He won't have Tee Higgins (concussion) once again. However, Burrow did just fine without him the last time around, keeping him a starting option in all fantasy formats against an inconsistent Ravens defense.

New York Jets quarterback Justin Fields (knee) has been ruled out for the second straight week when the team travels to Jacksonville to take on the Jaguars this Sunday, according to the New York Post's Brian Costello. Veteran QB Tyrod Taylor (groin) will also sit out, leaving rookie Brady Cook to make his first career start in Week 15. Cook will have one fewer weapon to work with on offense, with the Jets also ruling out rookie tight end Mason Taylor (neck). The 26-year-old Fields' disappointing first season in the Big Apple continues. Fields took care of the football, but he didn't do much else in nine starts for Gang Green this year before being benched for Taylor. In his nine games, Fields completed only 62.7% of his 204 pass attempts for 1,259 yards, seven touchdowns, and one interception. He added 383 rushing yards and four scores on 71 carries. It's unclear if he'll have a chance to start any of the final three games of the season.
