Who Should I Start? Matt Barkley or Justin Fields

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.

When asked whether he expects to play on Sunday in Week 10 against the Cleveland Browns, New York Jets quarterback Justin Fields said, "We'll see," according to Rich Cimini of ESPN. The Jets were leaning toward starting veteran Tyrod Taylor in their Week 8 win over the Cincinnati Bengals before he came down with a knee injury that sidelined him. Even though Fields looked good in the comeback victory over Cincinnati, the Jets remain undecided on who to start under center this weekend against the Cleveland Browns as they come off their bye week. Head coach Aaron Glenn is probably going to play it close to the vest, so we may not know who is starting at QB for Gang Green until this weekend. The matchup is not fantasy-friendly, but Fields has much more fantasy upside because of his rushing ability outside of the pocket.
