Who Should I Start? Lamar Jackson or Bo Nix

Friday, September 12, 9:48 PM

Baltimore Ravens quarterback Lamar Jackson is leading the team into their first divisional matchup with the Cleveland Browns in Week 2 after a devastating loss to the Buffalo Bills. Even though Jackson turned in a great performance, the team gave up 22 points in the fourth quarter to eventually lose by one. The Browns don't present nearly the same level of talent on offense, but they do have one of the more tantalizing defensive units. Last year, Jackson's second-worst completion percentage was against the Browns at 55.71% in two games. With that being said, he still amassed 506 yards and four touchdowns through the air with 109 yards on 17 carries. This is also his first home game of the year, which gives another reason for Jackson and company to be amped up for this matchup.

Denver Broncos quarterback Bo Nix is looking to bounce back after a disappointing Week 1 performance. Despite picking up the victory against the Tennessee Titans, the entire passing offense was unable to find its footing. In this contest, the former first-round pick went 25-for-40 with 176 passing yards, a touchdown, and two interceptions. On the ground, Nix added 18 yards on eight carries. His lone touchdown went to his top wideout, Courtland Sutton, on a 22-yard strike. Despite his underwhelming performance, managers should view Nix as a solid low-end QB1 heading into Week 2. During the final seven games of the 2024 regular season, Nix emerged as a must-start fantasy option, as he averaged 25.8 PPR points per game. Despite facing the Colts, who shut down the Miami offense in Week 1, given his rushing ability, Nix carries solid low-end QB1 upside heading into Week 2.
