Who Should I Start? Nathan Peterman or Brock Purdy

Thursday, September 21, 9:13 AM

Less than 24 hours after releasing Nathan Peterman, the Chicago Bears have re-signed the veteran quarterback to the active roster. Peterman will presumably be the Bears' backup to Justin Fields in Week 3 against the Buccaneers. Undrafted rookie Tyson Bagent will serve as the emergency quarterback. The 29-year-old Peterman has played in 13 games in his five-year NFL career.

San Francisco 49ers quarterback Brock Purdy will look to continue his winning ways when he leads his offense against the New York Giants on Thursday night. Purdy is coming off a competent, if imperfect performance. In Week 2, he was 17-of-25 for 206 yards passing and no touchdowns or interceptions. He also made some inaccurate throws that limited his fantasy day though he did score on a quarterback sneak. The Giants' defense, who are league-worst in points allowed per game, have had most of that damage done on the ground. Their pass defense has been surprisingly competent statistically, ranking 9th in the league in yards per game. However, half of that sample was accumulated in last week's game against Arizona's fill-in quarterback Joshua Dobbs. Purdy is again on the QB1/QB2 border with this week's favorable matchup.
