Who Should I Start? Reid Sinnett or Justin Fields

The Cincinnati Bengals are expected to elevate quarterback Reid Sinnett from the practice squad to the active 53-man roster for Monday night's game against the Los Angeles Rams, according to a source. It will give the Bengals more depth behind Joe Burrow (calf), who has been nursing a calf issue and is questionable for Week 3, and Jake Browning. It makes us wonder, though, if this means that Burrow won't play against the Rams. However, word is that Burrow is pushing to play on Monday night despite aggravating a calf injury that kept him out for all of training camp and the preseason. Either way, fantasy managers who drafted Burrow should have already gone with a replacement in Week 3 because of his questionable status. He's going to be a game-time decision.

The Pittsburgh Steelers have officially declined the fifth-year option on quarterback Justin Fields. This is not a surprise, as the No. 11 overall pick in the 2021 NFL Draft has been disappointing to start his career and was recently dealt from the Chicago Bears to the Steelers for a conditional sixth-round pick. The expectation is that Russell Wilson will be the Week 1 start for Pittsburgh in 2024, but Fields could be waiting in the wings if he struggles like he did in Denver. It will be interesting to see how much of a chance Fields gets to show what he can do with a change of scenery. If he plays in at least a handful of games and exceeds expectations, he could improve his market value and hit free agency next offseason.
