Who Should I Start? Teddy Bridgewater or Sam Howell

Saturday, August 26, 8:49 AM

Detroit Lions quarterback Teddy Bridgewater took it to his former team, the Carolina Panthers, in preseason action Friday night, leading four scoring drives for Detroit (2-1) in their 26-17 win. He completed 13-of-22 attempts for 178 yards, including a 70-yard catch-and-run touchdown pass to rookie Antoine Green in the closing seconds of the first half. In a captivating game, Teddy Bridgewater showcased his precision and decision-making, connecting on key passes that drove his team down the field. Bridgewater's reliability makes him a solid handcuff for Jared Goff owners in all fantasy leagues.

Washington Commanders quarterback Sam Howell completed 29-of-41 passes for 290 yards and a touchdown along with six carries for 40 yards in Sunday's overtime loss to the Philadelphia Eagles. After a disastrous Week 3, the former Tar Heel improved immensely in Week 4. He was solid throughout the game, but his best came when the lights were brightest. To tie the game at 31, Howell led a 64-yard drive that was capped off by a buzzer-beating touchdown to wide receiver Jahan Dotson. A loss isn't the result the Commanders wanted, but they have to feel good about what they saw from their second-year signal caller. Howell will aim to keep his success going in Week 5 against the woeful Chicago Bears.
