Who Should I Start? Matthew Stafford or Dak Prescott

Wednesday, October 15, 2:11 AM

Los Angeles Rams quarterback Matthew Stafford posted disappointing fantasy results in Week 6, largely due to the extreme positive game script against the Baltimore Ravens. Los Angeles won the game by running the ball and draining the clock, which meant Stafford didn't have to throw the ball much. He also suffered from the brief exit of teammate Puka Nacua (ankle), who didn't like his normal self even when he returned. While Nacua could be sidelined against the Jacksonville Jaguars in Week 7, Stafford is still a strong candidate to bounce back in a game that should feature more of a neutral game script. The veteran lacks rushing upside but is still the overall QB10 in fantasy football this season. He should be rostered in all leagues at this point, so if he's still available on waivers, add him before it's too late.

Dallas Cowboys quarterback Dak Prescott completed 25 of his 34 pass attempts for 261 yards, three touchdowns, and zero interceptions during Sunday's Week 6 loss against the Carolina Panthers. The veteran quarterback had another productive game as he played turnover-free football and didn't even take a sack. He now has a whopping 11 touchdowns and zero turnovers over his last three games. Not only is he the QB1 during that span, but he is also the top-scoring fantasy quarterback through the first six weeks of the 2025 season. Fantasy managers should continue to trust Prescott in fantasy football, as he has shown that he and the Cowboys' offense will rack up yardage regardless of their matchup. Dallas seems to find itself in a shootout every week, which bodes well for Prescott's fantasy outlook -- and he should only improve when CeeDee Lamb (ankle) returns. Prescott is a high-end QB1 heading into Week 7 against Washington.
