Who Should I Start? Kirk Cousins or Jameis Winston

Sunday, November 16, 3:26 PM

Atlanta Falcons quarterback Michael Penix Jr. (knee) exited during the third quarter of Sunday's Week 11 contest against the Carolina Panthers. He is officially listed as questionable to return. At the time of his departure, he had completed 13 of 16 passes for 175 yards, zero touchdowns, and zero interceptions. He also rushed for nine yards. With Penix currently sidelined, Kirk Cousins has entered the game at quarterback. The veteran signal-caller will be tasked with preserving Atlanta's marginal lead in a tight divisional battle at home. The Falcons face the Saints next Sunday, so if Penix can't return today, he'll have seven days to rest and recover before his next game.

New York Giants quarterback Jameis Winston is set to make his first start of the season in Week 11 against the Green Bay Packers, filling in for an injured Jaxon Dart (concussion). Winston will get the start over Russell Wilson as he is demoted to QB3. The former first overall pick in the 2015 NFL Draft takes over at the helm with interim head coach Mike Kafka after Brian Daboll was fired earlier this week. Winston produced his standard numbers in seven games as a starter in Cleveland last season, completing 61.1% of his passes for 2,121 yards with 13 touchdowns and 12 interceptions. The 31-year-old will be without one of New York's top wideouts in Darius Slayton (hamstring), in a stiff test against a stout Green Bay Packers defense that has allowed the second-fewest net yards per pass attempt (5.1) this season. Winston provides plenty of volatility in a given week, and he'll project as a low-end QB2 for Week 11.
