Who Should I Start? Mason Rudolph or Bo Nix

Tuesday, November 18, 11:12 AM

With Pittsburgh Steelers quarterback Aaron Rodgers (wrist) dealing with a fracture in his left wrist, backup quarterback Mason Rudolph may be in line to make the start in Week 12 against the Chicago Bears. Rudolph finished Pittsburgh's Week 11 win over the Cincinnati Bengals and played well, completing 12 of 16 pass attempts for 127 yards and a touchdown. Across 32 career games (18 starts), Rudolph has completed 64.1% of his pass attempts for 4,754 yards, 29 touchdowns, and 20 interceptions. At 30 years old, Rudolph is an established NFL quarterback with limited upside. However, he could be a decent streaming option off the waiver wire for fantasy managers in two-quarterback formats. Rodgers has not yet been ruled out for Week 12, so managers will need to monitor his progress throughout the week before moving to Rudolph.

Denver Broncos quarterback Bo Nix had a rough outing against their division rival, the Las Vegas Raiders, in Thursday's 10-7 win. Nix would end the night completing 16 of 28 pass attempts for only 150 passing yards, one touchdown, and two interceptions while adding five rushes for negative two yards. It was a rough showing for the passing offense as a whole, and the offense often drew boos as it stalled throughout the night. Notably, rough winds were swirling through the stadium throughout the night, but Nix still put up a disappointing performance for those who started him this week. Nix will look to bounce back against division rivals, the Kansas City Chiefs, in Week 11.
