toolg Posted November 29, 2021 Share Posted November 29, 2021 I am starting Jalen Hurts at QB, with Justin Fields stashed. But now both guys are banged up. Who should I target as backup QB for insurance? I think the top options available are Cousins, Carr, and Mac Jones... Tannehill has done a whole lot of nothing this year, but he's out there too. I like the upside of QBs who run, so what about Daniel Jones, Trevor Lawrence, or Tyrod Taylor? Who should my top waiver pick be? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mr_hunt Posted November 29, 2021 Share Posted November 29, 2021 i'd go with cousins or carr. i've been starting hurts all year too. i'm a bit worried he'll get benched at some point after how bad he looked yesterday. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's my fear too... Who do I target first? Is Cousins that much better than Carr? I really like Carr's schedule through the end of the season.

If I had to reach that far down, I might stream QBs through to the end of the season. Tannehill is off next week, so Daniel Jones vs. Dolphins might be appealing. Then Tannehill vs. Jags Week 14. Etc. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mr_hunt Posted November 29, 2021 Share Posted November 29, 2021 mac has been playing really well irl....but new england runs the sheet out of the ball so he doesn't get a chance to put up many fantasy pts. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So the Saints are moving on from Siemian? I suppose 4 losses in a row will put you on the bench. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
toolg Posted December 1, 2021 Author Share Posted December 1, 2021 I made claims for Taysom Hill, Carr, and Cousins in that order.... Hill went first, to a team with a higher waiver claim. I got my #2 Carr. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hill is still banged up too.... But if Hill starts at QB on Thursday, I would have been forced to play him over Hurts questionable. Bad foot and all. I like having Carr, if only for the fact he plays on Sunday. So Hurts is still an option all the way up to kickoff Sunday. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DBW Posted December 2, 2021 Share Posted December 2, 2021 We start 2 qbs in my league and I roll with cousins and jimmy G most games. I have Danny dimes as well but he’s meh most games. No upside to him. I just picked up Hill and I may start him over jimmy G simply because I need a Hail Mary kind of week now that kamara is out (I’m also without king henry, Adams on a bye, and hopkins may not be 100% if he’s back). So I’m looking for the boom guys! I sit at the 2 seed right now but behind me is a mess of .500 teams and A win could lock up 2 seed for me.
