Who Should I Start? Jimmy Garoppolo or Daniel Jones

Saturday, September 6, 9:56 PM

According to Dianna Russini of The Athletic, Los Angeles Rams head coach Sean McVay views quarterback Jimmy Garoppolo as a "starting-caliber" option. Matthew Stafford is in line to start on Sunday versus the Houston Texans. However, with the veteran signal-caller battling a lingering back injury, the Rams are confident Garoppolo can fill in admirably if necessary. From a fantasy standpoint, Stafford has had a better career. Still, with concerns about his health, Garoppolo may get a chance to start at some point moving ahead. The 33-year-old played for the Patriots, 49ers, and Raiders before arriving in Los Angeles in 2024 to suit up for the Rams. In 82 regular-season contests, he's thrown for 15,828 yards, 96 touchdowns, and 52 interceptions off 67.4% passing while also leading the 49ers to the Super Bowl in 2019. All things considered, Garoppolo doesn't have much fantasy value at the moment. If Stafford goes down this season due to the nagging back issue, Garoppolo could prove useful for those participating in deeper SuperFlex formats, especially with Puka Nacua and Davante Adams at his disposal.

Indianapolis Colts quarterback Daniel Jones completed 22 of his 30 pass attempts for 212 yards, two touchdowns, and one interception during Sunday's Week 6 win over the Arizona Cardinals. He also added 20 rushing yards and a rushing touchdown. Jones continues to play at a high level while enjoying a career resurgence in Indianapolis. His Colts are 5-1, and he has been a top-10 fantasy quarterback, amassing 10 touchdowns and just three turnovers through six games. The 28-year-old will look to keep his momentum going when he faces the Los Angeles Chargers in Week 7.
