Who Should I Start? Marcus Mariota or Kenny Pickett

Friday, August 25, 9:49 AM

Philadelphia Eagles quarterback Marcus Mariota was brought in this offseason to be the backup to Jalen Hurts this upcoming season. However, the 29-year-old might've played his way off the 53-man roster, according to Mike Garafolo. Rookie quarterback Tanner McKee has exceeded expectations and earned praise from the coaching staff. On Thursday, McKee completed 19-of-34 passing attempts for 158 yards during the preseason finale. Honestly, McKee might've done enough to overtake Mariota for the backup gig. The Eagles must decide how much faith they truly have in Mariota to play a role on this team in case Hurts does go down.

Pittsburgh Steelers quarterback Kenny Pickett completed 15 of his 30 pass attempts for 222 yards, one touchdown, and one interception in a Week 2 victory over the Cleveland Browns. Pickett's struggles from the season opener continued on Monday night as Pittsburgh's defense scored more points than its offense. The 25-year-old did complete a strike while under pressure to receiver George Pickens, who picked up over 50 yards after the catch for a 71-yard touchdown. Although Pickett has not yet shown much improvement in his second campaign, he has faced two of 2022's top-10 defenses against fantasy quarterbacks to open the season. A much more favorable matchup against the Las Vegas Raiders is on tap for Week 3.
