Who Should I Start? Joe Burrow or Shedeur Sanders

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 Cleveland Plain Dealer's Alex Darus reveals that Cleveland Browns rookie quarterback Shedeur Sanders' citation for driving 101 mph came less than two weeks after another speeding ticket that he got in the Cleveland area, and he failed to appear in court just hours before being ticketed for speeding this week. Sanders notable went from potentially being a top-five pick in this year's NFL draft to falling all the way to 144th overall in the fifth round to the Browns. The 23-year-old former Colorado star looked decisive and accurate during offseason workouts, but these off-the-field missteps won't go over well as he merely works to convince the Browns this year that he's working keeping around beyond his rookie season. It's unlikely to result in a suspension in 2025, but Sanders clearly has a lot of maturing to do both on and off the field.
