Who Should I Start? Matthew Stafford or Brock Purdy

Sunday, December 7, 9:24 PM

Los Angeles Rams quarterback Matthew Stafford completed 22 of his 31 pass attempts for 281 yards, three touchdowns, and zero turnovers during Sunday's Week 14 win over the Arizona Cardinals. Stafford bounced back from an ugly three-turnover game against the Panthers last Sunday and should remain under consideration for the NFL MVP award. The 37-year-old has 30 touchdowns over his last 10 games, benefitting tremendously from the superstar-caliber play of wide receivers Puka Nacua and Davante Adams. Stafford will continue to rank as a top-five fantasy quarterback heading into a Week 15 matchup against his old team, the Detroit Lions.

San Francisco 49ers quarterback Brock Purdy went 16-for-29 for 168 yards and one touchdown in the team's 26-8 win over the Cleveland Browns in Week 13. Purdy's production reached season lows in completions, completion rate, and passing yards, but it was enough to finish as a top-12 quarterback in fantasy. Despite Purdy's mediocre stat line, it was an improvement over his performance against the Panthers, when he threw three interceptions and completed just one pass of 10 air yards or more. Against Cleveland, Purdy managed to complete six of his 11 such pass attempts, including a 30-yard bomb to George Kittle that set up a chip-shot field goal for Matt Gay at the end of the first half. San Francisco is on bye in Week 14, but it has favorable matchups in the fantasy football playoffs with meetings against the Titans in Week 15 and the Bears in Week 17.
