Who Should I Start? Lamar Jackson or Trey Lance

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).

Los Angeles Chargers backup quarterback Trey Lance will receive first-team practice reps in goal-line situations this week. This is a result of starting quarterback Justin Herbert (hand) needing surgery on his left (non-throwing) hand following Sunday's win over the Las Vegas Raiders. Herbert had a metacarpal fracture in his left hand but still plans to play in Week 14 versus the Philadelphia Eagles next Monday night. The fact that Lance is doing goal-line work could be a hint that the Chargers might use him in goal-line situations, with Herbert probably being unable to take snaps under center next week. If Herbert plays in Week 14, he'll be more of a low-end QB1 option in fantasy football while going up against a strong Eagles pass rush.
