Who Should I Start? Mike White or Dorian Thompson-Robinson

Monday, August 18, 12:55 AM

Buffalo Bills quarterback Mike White had an opportunity to make hay in the race for the No. 2 job on Sunday night, but he fell short in a 38-0 preseason shellacking at the hands of the Chicago Bears. White, who's competing with Mitchell Trubisky to serve as the backup to Josh Allen, started the game and played the entire first half. The 30-year-old didn't look ready for prime time, though, as he finished 4-for-11 for 54 yards and took a pair of sacks. In White's defense, he got little help from an offensive unit laden with backups. Miscues from the O-line, particularly a couple of false starts from reserve left tackle Ryan Van Demark, and dropped passes made life more difficult on the signal-caller than it should have been. Even with that in mind, White wasn't sharp. He lacked touch on his passes and missed open targets on multiple occasions. Trubisky was hardly Allen-esque when he took the field in the third quarter (7-for-13 for 56 yards), but in all likelihood, White lost ground on Sunday.

Cleveland Browns quarterback Dorian Thompson-Robinson (calf) was listed as a limited participant in the first practice of Week 18 on Tuesday. Thompson-Robinson is dealing with a minor calf injury, but it shouldn't prevent him from being active in the regular-season finale this Saturday against the division-rival Baltimore Ravens. Jameis Winston (shoulder) was also limited, but he is expected to serve as the emergency third QB for the third straight week as Cleveland plays out the string in a disappointing season. DTR has not looked good while starting the last two games for the Browns, going 44-for-81 for 327 yards, no touchdowns and three interceptions while also losing a fumble. In a game that means nothing to the Browns, they are expected to play both Thompson-Robinson and Bailey Zappe against Baltimore. Neither QB will be recommended in DFS lineups on Saturday.
