Who Should I Start? Joe Burrow or Kyle Trask

Cincinnati Bengals quarterback Joe Burrow is 100% physically this offseason. "I feel great," Burrow said. "This is the best that I've felt in the offseason. Just like every year, trying to get better, trying to get stronger, faster, healthier. Try to find ways that you can optimize your health throughout the whole season, not hurt as much. I'm in a good spot." Last year at this time, Burrow was worried about his "football mortality" and was recovering from surgery he had on his right wrist that impacted him early on. The 28-year-old posted career-highs in completion percentage (71%), passing yards (4,918) and TD:INT ratio (43:9) in 2024 despite missing out on the playoffs. Rushing prowess isn't part of Burrow's game, but the passing volume should be there to give him top-five QB upside in fantasy with excellent aerial targets.

The Tampa Bay Buccaneers agreed to terms to re-sign quarterback Kyle Trask on Wednesday night on a one-year, $2.787 million deal, a source told NFL Network's Ian Rapoport. The former second-round selection (64th overall) in 2021 out of the University of Florida will return in 2025 to backup Baker Mayfield. In his three years in the NFL, the 27-year-old has appeared in only seven games (no starts) and has gone 4-for-11 for 28 yards without a touchdown or interception. Although the Buccaneers are on their third different offensive coordinator in the last three years, Trask has familiarity with the organization. However, should Mayfield go down with an injury in 2025, Tampa's offense will probably be in serious trouble given Trask's lack of NFL experience.
