Who Should I Start? Tyrod Taylor or Lamar Jackson

Tuesday, December 2, 5:01 PM

New York Jets quarterback Tyrod Taylor completed 19 of 33 passes for 172 yards and a touchdown while adding eight carries for 44 yards and a rushing score in Sunday's 27-24 win over the Atlanta Falcons. Taylor led the Jets to their third win of the season in his second straight start in place of Justin Fields. He found receiver Adonai Mitchell for a 52-yard touchdown en route to a career day for the second-year wideout. The 36-year-old Taylor has performed well and figures to remain the team's starter going forward. His rushing ability gives him a decent floor for fantasy production, and he's produced the ninth-most fantasy points among quarterbacks in the past two games. Taylor could be worth adding and plugging in as a streamer for Week 14 against the Miami Dolphins in two-QB fantasy leagues.

Baltimore Ravens quarterback Lamar Jackson (ankle) is set to play on Sunday in a divisional clash with the Steelers. Jackson did not participate in Thursday's practice, but according to head coach John Harbaugh, he will be under center in a game for the top spot in the AFC North. Jackson missed time earlier this season with a hamstring issue, and since returning, he has been hampered by an ankle injury that has left him looking out of sorts. His QB8 finish in Week 9 marked the last time he's landed inside the top 12 at the position, while he's finished as QB24 or lower for three straight weeks. He was close to completing multiple big plays in a Thanksgiving loss to the Bengals, and had any of them stood, fantasy managers might feel better about his prospects moving forward. As it stands, Jackson projects as RotoBaller's QB11 against a Steelers defense that has been one of the most generous to opposing quarterbacks all season long.
