Who Should I Start? Matthew Stafford or Deshaun Watson

Saturday, November 30, 12:19 AM

Los Angeles Rams quarterback Matthew Stafford has played well in the last month. After tossing only three touchdowns in the Rams' first six games of the 2024-25 campaign, the 36-year-old signal-caller has 12 in the last five contests. Los Angeles needs some wins to keep the team's postseason hopes alive. Fantasy managers will likely see Stafford extra-motivated in Sunday's meeting with the Saints, and he'll have a good chance to produce versus a New Orleans defense that has allowed 23.6 points per game this season, one of the worst marks in the National Football League. With that in mind, Stafford deserves consideration in all fantasy formats, although he's a must-start in two-QB setups.

There's an "overwhelming likelihood" that Cleveland Browns quarterback Deshaun Watson (Achilles) will remain with the team in 2025, according to Albert Breer of The MMQB. However, the Browns are expected to "work to put competition in the quarterback room, either through the draft or free agency," Breer said. This is an important development given that there has been significant speculation about Watson's future in Cleveland. Per Breer's understanding, Watson will be given the chance to recover from his Achilles tear and regain the starting role in Cleveland, but it won't merely be given to him as easily as it was ahead of the 2024 season. Rather, the veteran quarterback will have to get healthy and beat out competition if he has any shot at starting in Week 1 next year.
