Who Should I Start? Jordan Ta'amu or Joe Burrow

Monday, August 28, 7:59 PM

The Minnesota Vikings cut quarterback Jordan Ta'amu on Monday. The Vikings just added Ta'amu at training camp a week ago, but they didn't see enough from him in that limited time to justify keeping him on their final 53-man roster to open the 2023 regular season. Kirk Cousins is the team's obvious starter, with veteran Nick Mullens backing him up and rookie Jaren Hall set to serve as the No. 3 signal-caller. The 25-year-old Ta'amu looked good in the XFL, but he'll now search for another opportunity at the NFL level with a little over a week before Week 1 kicks off.

Cincinnati Bengals quarterback Joe Burrow (wrist) has been plagued by numerous injuries over the years. He suffered a season-ending knee injury as a rookie and was burdened by a calf strain early in the 2023-24 campaign. As a result, he struggled by throwing just two touchdowns in the first four games of the season. Unfortunately, despite turning things around, the signal-caller sustained a wrist injury in November and had another season end abruptly. But Burrow is adamant he's doing everything he can to stay on the field this season. "I'm confident I've put all the work in I need to make sure I'm healthy," said Burrow while speaking to Geoff Hobson of the team's official site. "I'm continuing year-to-year to better hone that and make that more efficient." The former LSU Tiger is anticipated to be cleared well before Week 1 but will continue to rehab in the immediate future. With that said, Burrow has the potential to be the top quarterback in the National Football League. Yet, his inability to stay healthy is something that will remain a significant concern for fantasy managers.
