Who Should I Start? Kirk Cousins or Lamar Jackson

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.

Baltimore Ravens quarterback Lamar Jackson completed 19 of his 29 pass attempts for 225 yards, four touchdowns, and zero interceptions during Sunday's Week 2 win over the Cleveland Browns. He only rushed twice in the victory, adding 13 yards on the ground. Although Jackson didn't use his legs much, that was simply a product of the passing attack working quite well and the defense playing a great game against the Browns. The quarterback's ability to make plays on the ground or through the air is what allows him to rank as a top fantasy option week in and week out. Now responsible for seven touchdowns and zero turnovers through two games, Jackson enters Week 3 against Detroit as a high-end QB1 in fantasy football.
