Who Should I Start? Shane Buechele or Brady Cook

Saturday, August 23, 11:47 PM

Buffalo Bills quarterback Shane Buechele turned in the team's best passing performance of the preseason in a 23-19 win over the Tampa Bay Buccaneers on Saturday. The 27-year-old demonstrated pinpoint accuracy throughout the night, completing 25 of his 30 attempts for 278 yards and a touchdown. He also used his mobility to his advantage and added another 20 yards on five rushes. Buechele played the entire game with the Bills' top three QBs - Josh Allen, Mitchell Trubisky, and Mike White - on the sideline. Trubisky and White have spent the summer battling for the No. 2 job, a role Buechele stands little to no chance of winning. His best bet to stay in the organization for a third straight year may be via the practice squad. Buechele was on Buffalo's practice squad in 2023, and he spent last year on Injured Reserve after suffering a neck injury in the preseason.

According to the New York Post's Brian Costello, New York Jets quarterback Brady Cook will get the start for this weekend's road tilt with the Jacksonville Jaguars. Cook was thrust into action in the team's loss to the Dolphins in Week 14, following an injury to starting QB Tyrod Taylor (groin). With Taylor's injury lingering and Justin Fields (knee) dealing with an issue of his own, the rookie will make his first NFL start against the hosting Jaguars. The 24-year-old looked like a fish out of water last Sunday in his limited time on the field, and he won't be a recommended fantasy option when he squares off with Jacksonville in Week 15. With the first-year pro under center, it wouldn't be surprising to see New York lean on the ground game. However, the team may be without their starting RB, Breece Hall (knee), who is battling a knee injury.
