Who Should I Start? Ryan Tannehill or Joe Burrow

The Minnesota Vikings have had talks with former Tennessee Titans quarterback Ryan Tannehill about a potential deal, sources tell FOX Sports' Jordan Schultz. Talks are ongoing but nothing is imminent at this moment. For the time being, the Vikings have told free-agent QB Aaron Rodgers that they are not interested and are moving ahead full steam with last year's first-rounder, J.J. McCarthy (knee), as their starting signal-caller in 2025. However, after both Sam Darnold and Daniel Jones left in free agency this offseason, the Vikes continue to search for QB insurance behind McCarthy, and Tannehill could be their guy. The 36-year-old didn't join a team for the 2024 season and played in only 10 games (eight starts) in his final season in Tennessee in 2023, throwing for 1,616 yards, four TDs and seven picks. If Tannehill joins the Vikings, it would strictly be as their backup behind McCarthy.

According to Jordan Schultz, Cincinnati Bengals quarterback Joe Burrow (toe) is slated to undergo surgery on his toe and is expected to miss at least the next three months. Burrow was lifted from Sunday's victory over the Jacksonville Jaguars due to this injury. Following the contest, Brurow was revealed to have suffered Grade 3 turf toe. Before exiting, the former first overall pick went 7-for-13 with 76 passing yards and a passing score. In relief, Jake Browning led the Bengals to the victory as he tallied 241 passing yards with three touchdowns (two rushing, one passing) and three interceptions. Given that Burrow is expected to remain sidelined through December, he is in serious danger of missing the remainder of the regular season. As a result, fantasy managers should expect Browning to serve as Cincinnati's QB1 for the foreseeable future. While Browning was able to lead the Bengals to the victory, managers should expect the team's offense to see their overall ceiling lowered without Burrow under center.
