Who Should I Start? Lamar Jackson or Kyle Trask

Saturday, December 6, 11:00 AM

Baltimore Ravens quarterback Lamar Jackson has endured quite the rough stretch of fantasy finishes and injuries over the last few weeks. He's dealt with a toe issue, ankle issue, and a hamstring injury earlier in the season. While Jackson has looked rough due to the injuries or not, the Ravens haven't helped him out by making sloppy plays like fumbling at the goal line and getting touchdowns called back. In Week 14, Jackson and company will be going up against their AFC North rivals, the Pittsburgh Steelers, which is a battle for first in the division. With his uncharacteristic struggles this year along with his issues against the Steelers (3-5 record, eight touchdowns and nine interceptions), the two-time MVP is projected as QB11 in RotoBaller's rankings. That's despite the fact that the Steelers' defense has been very generous to opposing quarterbacks (ranked 25th).

The Tampa Bay Buccaneers plan to release quarterback Kyle Trask (shoulder), a source told Jeremy Fowler of ESPN. Trask will revert to Injured Reserve due to a shoulder issue and then work out a settlement or release in order to look for a new team. It means that veteran Teddy Bridgewater will open the 2025 season in Tampa as the primary backup behind starter Baker Mayfield, with undrafted free agent Connor Bazelak serving as the QB3. Trask, 27, was a second-round pick (64th overall) in the 2021 NFL draft out of Florida. He never started a game for the Bucs in his three seasons and appeared in only seven games, going just 4-for-11 passing for 28 yards with no touchdowns or interceptions. Trask will now be looking to get healthy and latch on with another organization and compete for a depth role.
