Who Should I Start? John Wolford or Kenny Pickett

Tuesday, December 3, 2:06 PM

Free-agent quarterback John Wolford is signing with the Jacksonville Jaguars practice squad on Tuesday, according to NFL.com. The 29-year-old is being picked up following the head injury suffered by franchise quarterback Trevor Lawrence in the Week 13 loss to the Houston Texans. Wolford has played in seven NFL games (all for the Rams), completing 58.7% of his passes for 626 yards, one touchdown, and five interceptions. Mac Jones will likely start as long as Lawrence is out of action, and veteran C.J. Beathard is in the No. 2 QB role. It would be a surprise if Wolford sees any game action this season, but you never know. For now, this move can be ignored for fantasy football.

According to Jeff McLane of the Inquirer.com, Philadelphia Eagles quarterback Kenny Pickett (ribs) was not seen at Thursday's practice. Pickett was also not practicing on Wednesday which puts him in danger of missing Sunday's game against the New York Giants. Fantasy managers should pay close attention to his status during Friday's session as he will likely carry an injury designation. Pickett exited last weekend's game early with a rib injury. Tanner McKee entered the game in relief. With Jalen Hurts (concussion) in the league's protocol, this could leave McKee and Ian Book as the only available quarterbacks in their final game of the regular season. McKee performed well in his small stint as he went 3-for-4 with 54 yards and two scores in relief last weekend in their victory over the Cowboys. He would be viewed as a risky QB2 if given the start on Sunday.
