Who Should I Start? Trey Lance or Dorian Thompson-Robinson

Tuesday, December 10, 2:19 PM

Dallas Cowboys quarterback Trey Lance has been backing up veteran Cooper Rush since starter Dak Prescott (hamstring) suffered a season-ending hamstring injury. Lance, the former No. 3 overall pick in the 2021 NFL Draft by the San Francisco 49ers, is not expected to start any games for America's Team over the next four weeks. "I don't think so, I thought for the most part we did some good things out there," team owner Jerry Jones said. "I still believe [Cooper Rush] gives us our best chance." Rush has tallied 1,191 passing yards, seven passing touchdowns, and three interceptions in nine game appearances this season. The Cowboys could be wise to see what they have in Lance before the offseason, but it sounds like the North Dakota State product will not get that opportunity.

Cleveland Browns quarterback Dorian Thompson-Robinson will make his first start of the season when he heads on the road to take on the Cincinnati Bengals in Week 16. Thompson-Robinson will take over as the Browns' starting quarterback after they benched Jameis Winston late in a Week 15 loss to the Kansas City Chiefs. The Bengals represent an excellent matchup for quarterbacks as they are allowing the third-most fantasy points per game to the position. That being said, Thompson-Robinson has thrown for just one touchdown and seven interceptions across 12 career appearances and can't be trusted to take advantage of this generous Cincinnati defense. He settles in as nothing more than a desperation option in superflex leagues heading into Week 16.
