Who Should I Start? Matthew Stafford or Brock Purdy

Saturday, September 27, 1:51 AM

Los Angeles Rams quarterback Matthew Stafford has played quite well this season and should continue to rank as a mid-to-low fantasy QB2 for this week's matchup against the Indianapolis Colts. Stafford has 739 yards, five touchdowns, and two interceptions so far, ranking 17th among quarterbacks in fantasy points. His productivity has been aided by big plays from star receivers Puka Nacua and Davante Adams (hamstring). He should pick up right where he left off this weekend, despite a matchup against the 3-0 Indianapolis Colts. The Colts have played quite well so far, but two of their three games have been against winless teams, and their third was against a 1-2 Broncos squad. The Rams are easily the toughest team the Colts have faced, and Stafford should be able to find some success through the air. A lack of rushing prowess limits Stafford's upside, but he's still a must-start in two-quarterback leagues. RotoBaller's experts have the veteran ranked as the overall QB18 this week.

San Francisco 49ers quarterback Brock Purdy (toe) has been removed from the injury report and will return in Week 4 after missing the past two games. Backup Mac Jones handled starts in his absence, but Purdy looked sharp in his lone appearance this season, completing 26 of 35 passes for 277 yards, two touchdowns, and two interceptions against a tough Seahawks defense in Week 1. Purdy now draws a challenging matchup with the Jaguars, who lead the league in interceptions forced through three weeks. Complicating matters, the 49ers' offensive line remains shaky, and wideouts Jauan Jennings (ankle) and Ricky Pearsall (knee) are both battling injuries. Given the circumstances, Purdy profiles as a safe QB2 in Week 4.
