Who Should I Start? Russell Wilson or C.J. Beathard

Denver Broncos quarterback Russell Wilson didn't have his third straight 300-yard game on Sunday, but he did throw three more touchdowns without turning the ball over to lead the team to a big 31-28 come-from-behind win over the Bears on the road in Chicago for their first victory of the season. Wilson finished the contest 21-for-28 for 223 yards while taking one sack for a loss of nine yards. He added four carries for 13 yards. The 34-year-old signal-caller now has nine touchdown passes to only two interceptions through the first four games with new head coach Sean Payton. The Broncos may not be a playoff team, but Payton's influence has certainly had a positive impact on Wilson and has made him a QB1 streaming option in good matchups. Week 5 against the New York Jets will be more of a shy-away matchup, however.

Jacksonville Jaguars quarterback C.J. Beathard went 8-for-10 for 134 yards, a touchdown, and a near-perfect passer rating of 152.1 in Saturday's 31-18 preseason win over the Miami Dolphins. The vet came into camp with a leg up on rookie Nathan Rourke for the QB2 spot behind Trevor Lawrence, but the latter has been applying some pressure with his play through two games. Beathard was the second QB to take over after Lawrence in this one, leading three consecutive scoring drives to close out the first half. The performance was highlighted by a 74-yard touchdown strike to sophomore wide receiver Tim Jones, who broke open on the left side of the field and cruised in untouched for the score. Rourke quarterbacked the entire second half of the game, which saw the Jaguars put up two more touchdowns. Still, the Ohio native finished with a measly 74 passing yards on only six attempts, as Jacksonville opted to go with a more ground-heavy attack. At this point, Beathard has held onto his QB2 position but is still firmly off the fantasy radar unless something happens to Lawrence.
