Who Should I Start? Trevor Lawrence or Brock Purdy

Sunday, November 2, 9:18 PM

Jacksonville Jaguars quarterback Trevor Lawrence did not have his best day as a passer in his team's 30-29 overtime Week 9 win over the Las Vegas Raiders, completing 23 of 34 pass attempts for 220 yards, zero touchdowns, and one interception. However, Lawrence saved his fantasy production by logging 24 yards and two touchdowns on nine rush attempts. Across eight starts this season, the 26-year-old has now thrown for 1,840 yards, nine touchdowns, and six picks. His rushing ability may currently be the most consistent part of his game, as he's run for 137 yards and four touchdowns on 39 attempts. Lawrence and the Jaguars have a very difficult matchup in Week 10 when they travel to Houston to take on the Texans.

San Francisco 49ers head coach Kyle Shanahan said on Thursday that quarterback Brock Purdy (toe) will return to the starting lineup this Sunday against the division-rival Arizona Cardinals in Week 11, according to Matt Maiocco of NBC Sports. Shanahan said earlier this week that Purdy would be practicing with the intention of starting this weekend, and it looks like that will happen. It will be just the third start of the year for the 25-year-old signal-caller, and the first since he aggravated his turf-toe injury in Week 4. Purdy is surely an upgrade over Mac Jones under center, although fantasy managers will have to weigh the potential rust factor after Purdy's long layoff. Still, in a plus matchup against Arizona's defense, Purdy should be in play immediately as a low-end QB1 option for fantasy managers who might be hurting at the position in Week 11. He's rostered in 59% of Yahoo leagues right now.
