Who Should I Start? Lamar Jackson or C.J. Stroud

Saturday, November 15, 7:01 AM

Baltimore Ravens quarterback Lamar Jackson put up a lackluster performance in Week 10, especially for his standards. It was the only game that he played start to finish and didn't end up in QB1 territory. In Week 11, he takes on the Cleveland Browns, who haven't been very easy for opposing quarterbacks. They're ranked as the fifth-toughest matchup for the position and give up an average of 13.83 fantasy points per game. Jackson was one of only two QBs that has already thrown for 200+ yards and three or more touchdowns against this defense, though. He finished as QB3 in that Week 2 showdown and is projected for the same finish this time around.

ESPN's Adam Schefter notes that Houston Texans quarterback C.J. Stroud (concussion) is not guaranteed to clear concussion protocol by the time the team lines up for their matchup with the Buffalo Bills on Thursday Night Football in Week 12. Stroud suffered a concussion in Week 9, and he's now been officially ruled out for a second consecutive contest. As it stands, he could miss another, considering Houston's quick turnaround this coming Thursday. The third-year pro may be able to get right before his contest with the Bills, although it's currently looking like teammate Davis Mills has a significant chance to lead the team for a third game in his absence. Fantasy managers should monitor Stroud's status over the coming days.
