Well, we had one regret last week during Start/Sit for QBs: sitting C.J. Stroud, who scored 36.4 points against a struggling Los Angeles Chargers defense. As I said, I am big on teams being "due" for a win when they're struggling, but that wasn't the time. As for Sam Darnold and the injuries, we couldn't predict that, since the article was written before he was declared a "sit." Onward and upward, for I say! Week 10, let's get you back in the hunt!

Maybe made a few mistakes last week, and this week they can be overlooked, even if he makes any, because no team gives up more points to opposing QBs than the Detroit Lions (23.2). This is the week to put up points, and I see no reason he couldn't get you a respectable 18-20 points if you are looking at it through a fantasy football perspective.

I believe we have started Purdy the most this season, but he keeps plugging along, putting up at least 17 points in 7 of 8 games and averaging 22 PPG. Purdy is also a very underrated rusher, which helps him extend plays. He's done this despite a laundry list of injuries on the outside.

This may be only the second time Trevor Lawrence has been recognized by us, but the Jags as a whole are all-in on winning a Super Bowl. Averaging 18.9 points per contest, he is a QB1 thus far. In two games against the Tennessee Titans last year, Lawrence had 5 touchdowns; this week, it could all come in Week 10 as the Titans surrender 19.4 points to opposing QBs.

Fernando Mendoza is a smart young man, but getting your first start against the Seattle Seahawks' swarming defense? I don't like it. He may impress, but will still need some game experience to button up decision making on the run.

I am not throwing in the towel on Michael Penix Jr. just yet, but I've got it in my hand, only with him in Atlanta. I don't think he is the answer they are looking for to become a perennial playoff contender. Atlanta will face the Kansas City Chiefs in Week 10, and Chris Jones and company are usually not kind to QBs. Penix has failed to reach 15.5 points in six of his eight games this year.

If I were ever on the fence about choosing a third-string "sit" candidate, it would be a scorching Jordan Love, but I think it is best to avoid this Brian Flores-led Minnesota Vikings defense that literally blitzes on almost 80% of plays. The Vikings have picked off more passes than touchdowns given up this season. That's a huge problem, and the way this defense flies around? They aren't slowing down against a rival opponent.
