Who Should I Start? Taysom Hill or Sam Darnold

New Orleans Saints rookie running back Kendre Miller (hamstring) and quarterback Taysom Hill (knee) both practiced in full the last two days and won't carry injury designations into the Week 3 contest on Sunday at Lambeau Field against the Green Bay Packers. Jamaal Williams (hamstring) is out and Alvin Kamara won't return from his suspension until next week, so Miller, a third-rounder, will make his NFL debut this weekend after missing the first two games of the year with a hamstring injury of his own. The 21-year-old should have a role against Green Bay, but with Tony Jones Jr. and Hill also being involved, it's hard to recommend Miller as anything more than a desperation RB3/flex in his debut. Miller's role should only increase as the year progresses, but he'll also have to deal with the return of Kamara.

San Francisco 49ers quarterback Sam Darnold has been named the No. 2 quarterback behind starter Brock Purdy. The No. 3 overall pick in the 2018 NFL Draft struggled in his three seasons with the New York Jets and one season with the Carolina Panthers -- throwing 61 touchdowns to 55 interceptions en route to a 21-34 record as a starter. He'll now be a high-value "handcuff" quarterback for Purdy in superflex and two-quarterback formats. Trey Lance is now the team's third-string quarterback and his future is uncertain moving forward. It'll be interesting to see if teams call about trading for him before or during the 2023 campaign.
