Who Should I Start? Kirk Cousins or Brock Purdy

Monday, August 18, 11:41 AM

Atlanta Falcons quarterbacks Michael Penix Jr. and Kirk Cousins will not play in the team's preseason finale on Friday against the Dallas Cowboys, according to ESPN's Adam Schefter. Neither of the team's top two signal-callers has played at all in preseason action. Easton Stick has been Atlanta's most-used quarterback through the team's first two preseason games and figures to get most of the reps against Dallas. With fourth-stringer Emory Jones (head) in concussion protocol, Schefter reports that the team has signed quarterback Ben DiNucci.

According to Adam Schefter, San Francisco 49ers quarterback Brock Purdy is unlikely to play in Week 3 against the Arizona Cardinals. Purdy will be absent in Week 2 and it sounds like he'll miss multiple games due to a turf toe issue. There's a chance that Purdy misses as many as five games from this injury. Mac Jones will be under center in Week 2 and it sounds like he'll be drawing multiple starts. Jones doesn't offer a ton of upside, but has value in Superflex formats. It sounds like the 49ers are going to need to lean on him for at least two games.
