Who Should I Start? Tyrod Taylor or Nick Mullens

Saturday, November 22, 10:44 AM

In a move that had been put on hold due to a two-game win streak, New York Jets head coach Aaron Glenn finally made the switch from a struggling Justin Fields to quarterback Tyrod Taylor ahead of Sunday's game with the hosting Baltimore Ravens. Taylor has appeared in three games already this season, though this will be his second official start, and he won't be given any courtesy. Despite favorable-looking season-long numbers for the defensive unit, Baltimore has been a force since Week 6, a span in which they've yet to allow more than 19 points. Teams have had luck moving the ball through the air versus the Ravens, but the veteran's lack of proven offensive weaponry figures to pose an issue against a talented group of players. Taylor lands as RotoBaller's QB24 for this weekend, and shouldn't be considered outside of a streaming option in superflex/2QB formats.

The Jacksonville Jaguars agreed to terms with free-agent quarterback Nick Mullens on Monday on a two-year, $6.5 million deal with $3 million guaranteed, a source told NFL Network's Mike Garafolo. Mullens will be the new backup to Trevor Lawrence in head coach Liam Coen's first year in Duvall. The 29-year-old Mullens will reunite with new Jaguars assistant coach Grant Udinski after the two worked together with the Minnesota Vikings. Mullens spent the last three years in Minnesota, appearing in 13 games (three starts) while throwing for 1,568 yards, eight touchdowns and nine interceptions. He only appeared in four games in relief last year with Sam Darnold having a career year. Mullens will provide veteran backup depth behind Lawrence, though, having appeared in 33 games (20 starts) in his seven years in the NFL with Minnesota, San Francisco and Cleveland.
