Who Should I Start? Matt Barkley or Patrick Mahomes

Buffalo Bills quarterback Matt Barkley (elbow) was waived from Injured Reserve with an injury settlement. The veteran QB injured his right elbow during the preseason, and the Bills decided to release him with an injury settlement, as opposed to keeping him on IR for the rest of the year. Depending on the severity of his elbow injury, Barkley should be able to find a home elsewhere as a backup or third-stringer.

Kansas City Chiefs quarterback Patrick Mahomes (ankle) practiced in full all week. In Week 3, there was a brief scare after his ankle was rolled up on but the quarterback remained in the game and did not seem to be affected in the victory against the Chicago Bears. The 28-year-old suffered no setbacks in practice and is ready to go in Week 4 against the New York Jets. In spite of their woes on the offensive side of the ball, the Jets defense has been surprisingly resilient. In the season opener against the Bills, the team intercepted Josh Allen three times and through the first three weeks of 2023, are allowing opposing quarterbacks just 231 yards per game. Regardless, Mahomes is a must-start in Week 4.
