Who Should I Start? Matt Barkley or Joe Burrow

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.

Cincinnati Bengals quarterback Joe Burrow was having a fantastic showing in the Week 14 meeting with the Bills. Unfortunately, his solid day ended abruptly after he threw interceptions on back-to-back drives late in the fourth quarter, allowing Buffalo to erase a deficit and pick up the victory. Still, Burrow's day wasn't a complete flop, much to the delight of fantasy managers, with the signal-caller throwing for 284 yards, four touchdowns, and two picks while completing 25 of his 36 attempts. The 2020 No. 1 overall selection was in the news during the week after he appeared frustrated and displeased while speaking to the media, leaving more questions than answers not only about his future in Cincinnati, but as a quarterback in the National Football League in general. For now, the Bengals will look to keep their extremely low postseason hopes alive in Week 15 versus the Ravens. These clubs just met in Week 13, with Burrow ending the contest by passing for 261 yards and two touchdowns. He won't have Tee Higgins (concussion) once again. However, Burrow did just fine without him the last time around, keeping him a starting option in all fantasy formats against an inconsistent Ravens defense.
