Who Should I Start? Nick Mullens or C.J. Stroud

Monday, March 10, 4:55 PM

The Jacksonville Jaguars agreed to terms with free-agent quarterback Nick Mullens on Monday on a two-year, $6.5 million deal with $3 million guaranteed, a source told NFL Network's Mike Garafolo. Mullens will be the new backup to Trevor Lawrence in head coach Liam Coen's first year in Duvall. The 29-year-old Mullens will reunite with new Jaguars assistant coach Grant Udinski after the two worked together with the Minnesota Vikings. Mullens spent the last three years in Minnesota, appearing in 13 games (three starts) while throwing for 1,568 yards, eight touchdowns and nine interceptions. He only appeared in four games in relief last year with Sam Darnold having a career year. Mullens will provide veteran backup depth behind Lawrence, though, having appeared in 33 games (20 starts) in his seven years in the NFL with Minnesota, San Francisco and Cleveland.

Houston Texans quarterback C.J. Stroud (pectoral) is not throwing during voluntary OTAs this week. Stroud watched from the sideline on Friday as he's currently nursing a minor pectoral injury. The organization has downplayed this injury. The Texans aren't concerned at all and believe Stroud will increase his activities next week. For now, Davis Mills will run the offense with the first unit until Stroud is feeling better. Fantasy managers shouldn't be concerned by this as it truly sounds like a minor issue. There is no reason for the Texans to have Stroud practice at less than 100 percent this early into camp.
