Who Should I Start? Stetson Bennett IV or Max Brosmer

Saturday, August 16, 11:34 PM

Los Angeles Rams quarterback Stetson Bennett IV completed 28 of his 40 pass attempts for 324 yards, three touchdowns, and one interception during Saturday's preseason win over the Los Angeles Chargers. He also took a sack and rushed for four yards. Bennett led four successful scoring drives, including a game-winning touchdown drive that put the Rams ahead with just 10 seconds left in the fourth quarter. He has played the entirety of the Rams' first two preseason games, totaling five touchdowns and just one interception. He has a firm grasp on the third-string quarterback role behind Matthew Stafford and Jimmy Garoppolo, and given that both of those players are older veterans who could be near the ends of their careers, Bennett's strong preseason could bode well as he auditions for a larger role in the future.

Minnesota Vikings quarterback Max Brosmer shouldn't be a factor in fantasy this Sunday when the team takes on the hosting Detroit Lions. Although he gains some modest fantasy appeal, considering he's the second-string option behind fellow rookie signal-caller J.J. McCarthy (ankle). If all goes according to plan, McCarthy is Minnesota's starting QB moving forward. Encouragingly, he logged a full practice on Wednesday for the first time since Week 2. However, the high-ankle sprain he's been battling may linger, leaving Brosmer as the Vikes' only other option at QB. While fantasy managers may not call upon him in Week 9, the 24-year-old should at least be stashed in superflex dynasty leagues on the off-chance his team needs him down the stretch. In three appearances, he's completed 5-of-8 passes for 42 yards.
