Who Should I Start? Lamar Jackson or Joe Burrow

Saturday, December 20, 7:44 PM

Baltimore Ravens quarterback Lamar Jackson endured an ugly stretch of games in November, but he got back on track with a solid two-touchdown performance against the Cincinnati Bengals last Sunday. Now, he'll look to build off that momentum during Sunday Night Football against the New England Patriots in Week 16. The 28-year-old has four touchdowns and two turnovers over his last two games, rushing for a decent total of 69 yards during that span. He could have one of his better rushing games this week against a Patriots defense dealing with key injuries on the defensive side of the ball. Linebacker Robert Spillane (ankle) has already been ruled out, and linebacker Harold Landry III (knee) and defensive tackle Christian Barmore (knee) are both questionable. Without some key run-stopping weapons, the Patriots could have trouble slowing down Jackson and Derrick Henry on the ground. The 28-year-old quarterback ranks as RotoBaller's overall QB4 for Week 16.

The Miami Dolphins reportedly made a strong push for quarterback Joe Burrow ahead of the 2020 season. According to Adam Schefter, the Dolphins offered the Bengals four first-round picks for Burrow before the draft. Obviously, the Bengals declined and believed that Burrow would be their franchise quarterback. The Bengals were right to gamble on Burrow, who has been one of the best quarterbacks in the league when healthy. After losing out on Burrow, the Dolphins decided to select Tua Tagovailoa with the fifth-overall pick during the 2020 draft. Tagovailoa has been mostly average during his time with the Dolphins and was recently benched by the organization. This trade could've completely changed the direction of the Dolphins franchise.
