Who Should I Start? Josh Johnson or Joe Burrow

Saturday, August 9, 9:49 AM

Well-traveled Washington Commanders quarterback Josh Johnson completed 15 of 22 passes for a game-high 173 yards with one touchdown and an interception on Friday against the New England Patriots. Jayden Daniels is the no-doubt starter for Washington with Marcus Mariota also in the fold as the likely backup, leaving Johnson and Sam Hartman competing for the third spot. Hartman struggled while the 38-year-old Johnson proved to be the more effective of the two, at least in the opener. Washington will next take on Cincinnati on Aug. 18.

Cincinnati Bengals quarterback Joe Burrow (toe) was activated from the Injured Reserve list and will suit up for an AFC North clash with Baltimore on Thanksgiving. The signal-caller had been on the shelf after suffering a toe injury in the Week 2 win over the Jacksonville Jaguars, resulting in surgery. Naturally, fantasy managers are glad to have him back in the lineup. However, there are still some concerns, considering Burrow threw for only 189 yards and two touchdowns while completing 58.3% of his attempts before going down. He'll also be returning versus the Ravens, winners of their last five contests, and doing so without Tee Higgins (concussion). Fortunately, Ja'Marr Chase will be back from his one-game suspension, which will certainly help make things easier. Chase Brown is also a capable pass-catcher out of the backfield, and Andrei Iosivas has been known to turn up the volume at times in his brief career. With that said, although Burrow may have some residual rust from the lengthy layoff, he can be plugged back into all fantasy formats in Week 13 against a Ravens defense that hasn't looked the best this season when facing a few of the top quarterbacks from around the National Football League.
