Who Should I Start? Russell Wilson or Jeff Driskel

Sunday, December 22, 7:58 AM

Pittsburgh Steelers quarterback Russell Wilson finished with a solid performance marred by turnovers in a 34-17 defeat against Baltimore, completing 22 of 33 passes for 217 yards, two touchdowns, and an interception. He also rushed for 27 on three carries and lost a fumble. The veteran completed passes to nine different receivers in the game, but the absence of top option George Pickens (hamstring) was noticeable. Unfortunately for Wilson, both of his turnovers were costly. The fumble was inside Baltimore's five-yard line, while the interception was returned for a game-changing touchdown. However, Wilson is still a Superflex candidate as the Steelers prepare for Kansas City in Week 17.

Washington Commanders quarterback Jeff Driskel got the starting nod in Sunday's preseason finale as the Commanders opted to rest starting quarterback Jayden Daniels and backup Marcus Mariota. Driskel tallied 73 passing yards while going 12-for-18 with an interception and no scores. His longest pass of the evening was for 12 yards to wideout Mitchell Tinsley. While his performance was quite underwhelming, he faced many New England starters. Over the previous two preseason games, the 31-year-old totaled 169 passing yards with 68 rushing yards. Driskel is currently listed as the number three option on the depth chart, and seeing him get the starting nod in this game solidifies his position on the depth chart. Driskel has a tough path to being fantasy-relevant in 2024 and will only get an opportunity in the regular season due to injuries to the other two passers on the roster.
