Who Should I Start? Lamar Jackson or Kyler Murray

Wednesday, November 26, 8:29 PM

Baltimore Ravens quarterback Lamar Jackson has registered a rough stretch of fantasy finishes over the last three games as he continues to deal with a slew of injuries. This week, he was dealing with a toe issue that kept him out of the walkthrough on Monday, but he was a full participant the rest of the way. His upside remains one of the highest in the league, especially against a Cincinnati Bengals defense that has allowed the third most fantasy points to quarterbacks this season, and the second most over the last four weeks. A lot of these matchups with the Bengals have ended up in a shootout, and Jackson's 10-2 against them in his career with a total of 2,472 yards, 22 touchdowns, and four interceptions. For that reason, he's still projected as a QB1, but he's become a bit more worrisome week by week.

Arizona Cardinals quarterback Kyler Murray (foot) is eligible to return from Injured Reserve in Week 14 against the Los Angeles Rams, but he is not quite fully recovered from a mid-foot sprain, according to Ian Rapoport of NFL Network. The No. 1 overall pick in the 2019 NFL Draft completed 68.3% of his passes for 962 yards, six touchdowns, and three interceptions to go with 29 rushes for 173 yards and a rushing touchdown in the first five games as Arizona's starter. Jacoby Brissett has performed well in Murray's absence and set an NFL record 47 completions in Arizona's Week 11 loss to the San Francisco 49ers. Brissett has elevated Michael Wilson's game and helped send Trey McBride to another level as the top fantasy scoring tight end in the league. It remains to be seen if Murray will reclaim the starting job when he is fully healthy.
