Who Should I Start? Matt Barkley or Jacoby Brissett

Wednesday, November 8, 12:17 PM

The New York Giants signed quarterback Matt Barkley from the practice squad to their active 53-man roster on Wednesday. Daniel Jones (knee) suffered a season-ending torn ACL in the Week 9 loss to the Las Vegas Raiders, and the team also placed veteran Tyrod Taylor (ribs) on Injured Reserve last weekend. Taylor will miss at least the next three games, but there's a chance he may not play again this year. The G-Men are moving forward with undrafted rookie Tommy Devito under center for the time being, but the 33-year-old Barkley could eventually be making starts for the Giants before the season is over. It's a dire QB situation for New York to be in, and it will be a major downgrade for all of their offensive weapons in fantasy, mainly running back Saquon Barkley.

The Washington Commanders have taken calls on backup quarterback Jacoby Brissett, but the price has been prohibitive for other teams, as they are asking for a Day 2 draft pick. However, Brissett's price could come down now after the Arizona Cardinals sent quarterback Joshua Dobbs to the Minnesota Vikings for a late-round pick swap on Tuesday. The Commanders have less than an hour before the trade deadline passes on Halloween. They already sent pass-rushers Montez Sweat and Chase Young packing to Chicago and San Francisco, respectively. Brissett was serviceable in a starting role for the Cleveland Browns last year when Deshaun Watson was suspended, but he has yet to start a game in 2023 with Sam Howell the clear starter under center in D.C.
