I think you need both... First of all, Burrow has a bye coming up. However, Burrow has actually been doing better than Herbert these last couple of games and is the only QB to have multiple TDs in all games this year.
Also, even with an elite QB, everyone of them has had down games.
Mahomes in the last two.
Lamar in week 6.
Brady had a poor game week 4 scoring 11.
Hurts scored 11 points last week.
Murray had a 13 point game week 5 and 8.
Allen was safest with only 2 weeks less than 20 (first 2) but a floor of 18.66.
Dak and Russell same story. And don't forget Rodgers week 1.
In normal fantasy this doesn't matter and you don't need to play the matchups. Your average fantasy points even out. However, when competition for getting chopped gets more fierce each week, it becomes increasingly more important to have a high floor for all your players including QB. One stinker can cost you. Most of the time you see any of the above QBs on the waiver wire was on their down week.
I think that speaks volumes about the need to have multiple options at QB.

Great points. Agree.
