Who Should I Start? Matthew Stafford or Cameron Ward

Saturday, November 29, 6:36 AM

Los Angeles Rams quarterback Matthew Stafford continues to rank as a strong fantasy QB1 as he carries his MVP candidacy into Sunday's Week 13 contest against the Carolina Panthers. Stafford continues to play at an elite level, amassing 25 touchdowns and zero interceptions over his last eight games. Between his prolific passing skills and the strong supporting cast around him, Stafford has not only cemented himself as a must-start quarterback in fantasy football, but he's also putting together a very strong bid to win MVP. He'll build on both of those campaigns against the Panthers, who have allowed the 11th-fewest fantasy points to quarterbacks in 2025, but also the 13th-most passing yards. Stafford, who is a must-start regardless of matchup, ranks as the overall QB6 in this week's RotoBaller fantasy rankings.

Tennessee Titans quarterback Cameron Ward completed 28 of 42 pass attempts for 256 yards and a touchdown and added 37 yards and a touchdown on six rushing attempts in his team's Week 12 loss to the Seattle Seahawks. After the game, Titans interim head coach Mike McCoy said that Ward's ability to take what the defense was giving with his legs is the "next part of his growth." The 23-year-old has now rushed for 70 yards over the last two weeks after recording 46 rushing yards over the first nine games of his NFL career. If Ward is going to continue to utilize his legs, it would obviously be a boost to his fantasy value. The rookie has struggled overall this season, but his performance against Seattle in Week 12 could be a sign of a late-season breakout. Ward could profile as a solid fantasy QB2 in Week 13 against the Jacksonville Jaguars.
