Who Should I Start? Reid Sinnett or Jake Haener

The Cincinnati Bengals are expected to elevate quarterback Reid Sinnett from the practice squad to the active 53-man roster for Monday night's game against the Los Angeles Rams, according to a source. It will give the Bengals more depth behind Joe Burrow (calf), who has been nursing a calf issue and is questionable for Week 3, and Jake Browning. It makes us wonder, though, if this means that Burrow won't play against the Rams. However, word is that Burrow is pushing to play on Monday night despite aggravating a calf injury that kept him out for all of training camp and the preseason. Either way, fantasy managers who drafted Burrow should have already gone with a replacement in Week 3 because of his questionable status. He's going to be a game-time decision.

New Orleans Saints quarterback Spencer Rattler has an uphill climb to earn backup duties to veteran Derek Carr in his rookie season, which is why Jake Haener currently looks to be the favorite to be second on the QB depth chart out of training camp this summer. At the very least, though, Rattler is going to be in competition for the No. 2 spot with Haener. There are other veterans on the roster as well in Kellen Mond and Nathan Peterman, and Taysom Hill can't be ruled out for getting some work under center in camp, either. Rattler's growth could be tied to how quickly he can learn the offensive lingo and installs. Haener had a leg up last year since he ran a version of the Saints' offense at the Senior Bowl the previous season. Rattler might have to sit on the bench for a few years, so he's only worth drafting in dynasty/keeper leagues this fall.
