Who Should I Start? Nate Sudfeld or Cooper Rush

Friday, August 9, 3:30 AM

Detroit Lions quarterback Nate Sudfeld completed just 13 of 24 passes for 96 yards, zero touchdowns, and one interception during Thursday's preseason opener against the New York Giants. He also rushed three times for an additional 14 yards on the ground. The 30-year-old played most of the game, only ceding reps to Hendon Hooker (head) in the third quarter. (Hooker departed after two drives and entered concussion protocol, bringing Sudfeld back into the game.) Neither player led a touchdown drive, and while Hooker was quite impressive on the ground, his new injury could give Sudfeld the early advantage in the fight to be Jared Goff's backup. If Hooker is expected to miss time, Detroit could add another quarterback to compete with Sudfeld ahead of the 2024 campaign.

Dallas Cowboys quarterback Cooper Rush has struggled to get the offense moving in his two starts, leaving the door open for quarterback Trey Lance to potentially get some playing time in the coming weeks. Rush did throw for 354 yards on 55 pass attempts last week given the nature of the game, but most of his fantasy production came in garbage time. If Dallas is blown out again like they are projected to be, Rush may cede those late-game snaps to Lance. Rush also may be without his top two pass-catchers, with CeeDee Lamb (back, foot) missing Thursday's practice and Jake Ferguson (concussion) trending towards missing. Dallas takes on Washington on Sunday and even though it is a solid matchup for opposing quarterbacks, Rush should be avoided.
