Who Should I Start? Matthew Stafford or Geno Smith

Los Angeles Rams quarterback Matthew Stafford will look to build on a strong stretch of games as he takes on the Baltimore Ravens in Week 6. Over his last two games, Stafford has completed 59 passes for 764 yards, six touchdowns, and zero interceptions, ranking as the overall QB1 during that span. The veteran quarterback has shown that he can produce against strong defenses, so his Week 6 matchup against a very poor Ravens defense is all the more exciting. Baltimore has allowed the second-most fantasy points, the third-most passing yards, and the most passing touchdowns to opposing quarterbacks in 2025. They also have just one interception. Seeing Stafford post a third consecutive game with three touchdowns and zero interceptions is not out of the picture. He should be started as a mid-to-low QB1 in fantasy football.

The Las Vegas Raiders continue to stand behind Geno Smith and have not had any serious discussions about benching him, according to NFL Network's Tom Pelissero. Smith has thrown nine interceptions this season, and he has two different games with three picks. Las Vegas reportedly wants to do a better job getting its rushing game going, as the team believes this will help Smith in the passing game. Of course, if the Raiders start to run the ball effectively and still get poor results from Smith, a quarterback conversation will be necessary. Smith's backup is Kenny Pickett, whom the Raiders acquired for a fifth-round pick this past summer.
