Who Should I Start? Joe Burrow or Trevor Lawrence

Cincinnati Bengals quarterback Joe Burrow (toe) did 7-on-7 work in practice last week and felt good, which means he could mix into some 11-on-11 work this week, according to head coach Zac Taylor. "He's of the mindset that he wants to play football for us," Taylor said when asked if the team's 3-6 record would impact his return this year. The 28-year-old signal-caller is still eyeing a return from Injured Reserve for a big divisional matchup on Thanksgiving Day against the Baltimore Ravens. However, Burrow's progress from surgery to fix a turf-toe injury and the team's chances of making the playoffs this year will impact whether or not he actually returns on that date. The Bengals might need to win in Week 12 against the New England Patriots to convince the team's decision-makers to bring Burrow back in Week 13 if he's ready. Fantasy managers should be stashing Burrow just in case he's able to return when it matters most in fantasy football.

Jacksonville Jaguars quarterback Trevor Lawrence did not have his best day as a passer in his team's 30-29 overtime Week 9 win over the Las Vegas Raiders, completing 23 of 34 pass attempts for 220 yards, zero touchdowns, and one interception. However, Lawrence saved his fantasy production by logging 24 yards and two touchdowns on nine rush attempts. Across eight starts this season, the 26-year-old has now thrown for 1,840 yards, nine touchdowns, and six picks. His rushing ability may currently be the most consistent part of his game, as he's run for 137 yards and four touchdowns on 39 attempts. Lawrence and the Jaguars have a very difficult matchup in Week 10 when they travel to Houston to take on the Texans.
