Who Should I Start? Teddy Bridgewater or Mac Jones

Tuesday, December 17, 9:25 PM

Quarterback Teddy Bridgewater is reportedly planning on attempting a comeback to the NFL. The 32-year-old retired last season after playing in a reserve role with the Detroit Lions. He left the league to coach his high school alma mater. Now, Bridgewater believes he's ready to play in the NFL again. Bridgewater came into the league with high hopes, but injuries derailed his career. Despite that, Bridgewater is still a knowledge veteran that could be helpful to an NFL locker room. It wouldn't be shocking to see an NFL team sign him just for his leadership in a reserve role. The chances of Bridgewater being a successful full-time quarterback are slim at this point.

Jacksonville Jaguars quarterback Mac Jones is a better-than-usual fantasy option in Week 16 against the Las Vegas Raiders. Jones had a good outing last week against the New York Jets, giving him a good fantasy outing in two of the last three weeks. However, it is still hard to trust Jones beyond two QB/Superflex leagues given his overall body of work. The Raiders do serve as a plus matchup, but the Jaguars offense has struggled for the most part this season. Despite all of the injuries to the Jacksonville receiving core, Brian Thomas Jr. has been dominant as a rookie, and Brenton Strange caught 11 passes in the place of Evan Engram, giving him good enough options to succeed at least. It is hard to trust Jones in an important fantasy playoff matchup, but there are worse options in Week 16.
