Who Should I Start? Jimmy Garoppolo or Lamar Jackson

Sunday, January 5, 7:54 PM

Los Angeles Rams Quarterback Jimmy Garoppolo made his Rams' debut on Sunday against the Seahawks. Despite playing mostly with second-string skill players, he racked up 334 passing yards to go with two touchdowns and one interception along with five rushing yards. Without much of a ground game, Jimmy G attempted 41 passes finishing with 27 completions (65.8% completion). Next week, he's expected to return to his role as backup QB to Matthew Stafford as the Rams host a game in the Wild Card game. Whenever the Rams' season concludes, the veteran will be a free agent, but his strong showing in Week 18 should help him find work as a backup either with the Rams or another team next season.

Baltimore Ravens quarterback Lamar Jackson (back) suffered a minor back injury in last Saturday's wild-card win over the division-rival Pittsburgh Steelers but is not listed on the injury report this week as the team begins preparing for a Divisional Round showdown this Sunday against the hosting Buffalo Bills. Jackson's status for this weekend's big game was never really in question, but now it's official that the 28-year-old will be good to go. Last year's NFL MVP had only 175 passing yards and two touchdowns in the win over Pittsburgh, adding 81 rushing yards on 15 attempts, but he'll likely be needed to do more against Buffalo in what should be a high-scoring affair. The QB1 in overall fantasy points during the regular season, Jackson will be a high-priced, top-tier QB option for fantasy managers in playoff leagues against Buffalo, even if he's without top wideout Zay Flowers (knee) for a second straight game.
