Who Should I Start? Reid Sinnett or Trey Lance

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 Dallas Cowboys will decline to pick up the fifth-year option on quarterback Trey Lance, according to a source. The move isn't a surprise at all after the decision was essentially made last August when Dallas acquired him from the San Francisco 49ers for a 2024 fourth-round pick. Lance's 2025 option would have cost the Cowboys a fully guaranteed $22.4 million. The Cowboys don't have a QB on their roster signed beyond the 2024 season, with Dak Prescott, Lance and Cooper Rush all set for unrestricted free agency next March. They cannot use the franchise tag on Prescott and haven't started serious talks on an extension. Lance will make $5.31 million in base salary in 2024 as part of the fully guaranteed, $34.1 million deal he signed with the Niners as the third overall pick in 2021. Dallas liked the progress Lance made in 2023, but he was inactive for every game.
