Who Should I Start? Spencer Rattler or Dresser Winn

Monday, January 6, 2:22 AM

New Orleans Saints quarterback Spencer Rattler finished his rookie season with another up-and-down performance in the team's 27-19 loss to the Tampa Bay Buccaneers. The fifth-rounder out of South Carolina went 21-for-28 in the first half, completing a pass to 10 different receivers and throwing a touchdown to Dante Pettis along the way. However, he completed just five more passes after halftime, finishing 26-for-42 for 240 yards and the score. To his credit, he stayed free of any turnovers after throwing three picks and fumbling twice in his previous two starts. In his first year as a pro, Rattler saw far more playing time than expected when he was drafted while covering for Derek Carr's (hand) pair of multi-week absences due to injury. The rookie finishes with 1,317 passing yards, four touchdowns, and five interceptions with a 57% completion rate.

Los Angeles Rams quarterback Dresser Winn could make the initial 53-man roster as the No. 3 option on the depth chart, according to NFL Network's Ian Rapoport. A product of the CFL, Winn is on his second stint with the Rams and played the entirety of Saturday's preseason finale, completing nine passes for 72 yards and adding another 20 yards on the ground. Rapoport indicates that the Rams could roster three quarterbacks, and with Jimmy Garoppolo suspended to start the year, Winn is on track to make the team behind Matthew Stafford and Stetson Bennett. If he does make the roster, Winn would likely be inactive on gameday as the Rams' emergency third quarterback.
