Who Should I Start? Matthew Stafford or Gardner Minshew

Thursday, November 13, 1:08 PM

Los Angeles Rams quarterback Matthew Stafford hasn't played like a 37-year-old in his 17th year in the league in 2025. In fact, he's playing some of the best football of his career and comes into a crucial Week 11 divisional battle against the Seattle Seahawks this Sunday on an incredible hot streak. Stafford went 24-for-36 passing for 280 yards and four touchdowns in last week's blowout win over the San Francisco 49ers to reach 400 passing TDs for his career. He not only leads the NFL with 25 passing touchdowns through 10 weeks, but Stafford is on an absolute heater, going 69-for-101 with 13 touchdowns and no picks in his last three games. Fantasy managers who scored Stafford off the waiver wire earlier this year are sitting pretty. However, will he be able to keep the good times rolling on Sunday versus Seattle? The Seahawks' defense is improved, but they are around the middle of the pack in average fantasy points allowed per week to QBs and passing yards allowed per game, so there's absolutely no reason why anyone should be benching the red-hot Stafford this weekend.

Kansas City Chiefs quarterback Gardner Minshew completed seven of nine passes (78%) for 70 yards and a touchdown in the 16-33 loss to the Seattle Seahawks. Minshew found Robert Tonyan in the back of the endzone on a rollout for an easy score. It was a nice sign to see for Chiefs fans, knowing they have a capable backup behind Patrick Mahomes. That said, Minshew will not have any fantasy value this season unless Mahomes gets injured.
