Who Should I Start? Mac Jones or Dillon Gabriel

Saturday, November 8, 5:08 AM

San Francisco 49ers quarterback Mac Jones (knee) is expected to draw his eighth start of the season in Week 10 against the Los Angeles Rams. Brock Purdy (toe) is listed as questionable after a week of limited practices, and would serve as Jones' backup if active. The last time Jones faced the Rams, he enjoyed his best game of the season, passing for 342 yards and two touchdowns with no turnovers, and did so with Ricky Pearsall (knee), Jauan Jennings (ankle, shoulder), and George Kittle out due to injury. It was an exceptional lapse for the Rams' defense, which has given up just nine passing touchdowns and has allowed only one other top-12 finish to an opposing quarterback this season. This time around, Jones will still be missing Pearsall but has Jennings and Kittle back in his arsenal. Jones projects as a mid-range QB2, making him viable in two-QB formats.

Cleveland Browns quarterback Dillon Gabriel will come out of his bye to face off against the New York Jets on the road in Week 10. Gabriel has shown a limited fantasy ceiling this season, passing for 702 yards, five touchdowns, and two interceptions in six games (four starts). The Jets have struggled against opposing passing games this season, allowing the 11th-most fantasy points per game, and that was before they traded Sauce Gardner and Quinnen Williams at Tuesday's NFL trade deadline. That being said, the Cleveland offense has been one of the least impressive units in the league. Gabriel settles in as a QB3 in fantasy heading into Week 10 even in a prime matchup against a gutted New York defense.
