Who Should I Start? Matthew Stafford or Dak Prescott

Sunday, November 17, 6:46 PM

Los Angeles Rams quarterback Matthew Stafford had one of his best games of the 2024-25 campaign in the Week 11 win over the Patriots. The signal-caller threw for 295 yards off 18-for-27 passing. He also tossed four touchdown passes, with Puka Nacua and Cooper Kupp pulling in three of them. Stafford had only three touchdowns in his first six games of the season. But in all fairness, Nacua and Kupp spent time on the shelf. With Stafford throwing 10 touchdowns in the Rams' previous four contests, he deserves starting fantasy consideration for the Sunday night showdown with the Eagles in Week 12, especially since Josh Allen, Joe Burrow, Kirk Cousins, and Aaron Rodgers will have the week off.

ESPN's Adam Schefter reported that the Dallas Cowboys have officially placed quarterback Dak Prescott (hamstring) on injured reserve. The move was merely a formality, as it was expected that he'd miss the remainder of 2024 after suffering an avulsion fracture in his hamstring. In his absence, Dallas will continue to roll with quarterback Cooper Rush as their starter, though for how long remains to be seen. Rush didn't have a particularly encouraging outing last weekend against the Philadelphia Eagles when he completed 13-of-23 passes for 45 yards. With fourth-year player Trey Lance the only other active quarterback on the roster, it might be worth it for the Cowboys to see what they've got in the 24-year-old.
