Who Should I Start? Tyler Huntley or Max Brosmer

Saturday, October 25, 11:07 AM

Baltimore Ravens quarterback Tyler Huntley was recently signed to the active roster, and head coach John Harbaugh revealed that the long-time backup could start if Lamar Jackson (hamstring) gets downgraded from questionable. Huntley has appeared in 21 games for the Ravens across five seasons, with nine of them being starts. As far as backups go, Huntley has been the only one to seemingly make this offense move, and he even made a Pro Bowl in 2022. With that being said, the Chicago Bears have allowed 15 passing touchdowns and forced 11 interceptions this season. Fantasy managers that are forced to start Huntley due to injuries or bye weeks shouldn't expect some sort of huge QB1 performance, but could keep a team afloat if desperately needed.

Minnesota Vikings quarterback Max Brosmer shouldn't be a factor in fantasy this Sunday when the team takes on the hosting Detroit Lions. Although he gains some modest fantasy appeal, considering he's the second-string option behind fellow rookie signal-caller J.J. McCarthy (ankle). If all goes according to plan, McCarthy is Minnesota's starting QB moving forward. Encouragingly, he logged a full practice on Wednesday for the first time since Week 2. However, the high-ankle sprain he's been battling may linger, leaving Brosmer as the Vikes' only other option at QB. While fantasy managers may not call upon him in Week 9, the 24-year-old should at least be stashed in superflex dynasty leagues on the off-chance his team needs him down the stretch. In three appearances, he's completed 5-of-8 passes for 42 yards.
