Who Should I Start? Lamar Jackson or Sam Howell

Saturday, November 8, 9:21 AM

Baltimore Ravens quarterback Lamar Jackson returned from a three-game absence and picked apart the Miami Dolphins for four touchdowns through the air with a 78.3 completion percentage. He'll have a tougher task ahead of him in Week 10 against the Minnesota Vikings. They're around the middle of the pack in terms of fantasy points allowed to opposing QBs, with an average of 16.62 per game. Over the last three weeks, however, the Vikings have given up 19 or more fantasy points in each game. Jackson is already a must-start, and should continue to roll while the offense is the healthiest it's been all season.

Quarterback Sam Howell is likely to serve as the Philadelphia Eagles' QB2 behind Jalen Hurts in the season opener against the Dallas Cowboys on Thursday night, according to Jeff McLane of The Philadelphia Inquirer. The Eagles acquired Howell from the Minnesota Vikings in late August after projected backup quarterback Tanner McKee (thumb) went down with a fractured thumb. McKee is not expected to be ready for Week 1, but he is expected to re-take Philadelphia's QB2 role when fully healthy. If pressed into action, Howell has 18 games of starting experience in the NFL. He led the NFL in pass attempts (612) and interceptions (21) in 17 games for the Washington Commanders in 2023.
