Who Should I Start? Matthew Stafford or Geno Smith

Sunday, December 7, 9:24 PM

Los Angeles Rams quarterback Matthew Stafford completed 22 of his 31 pass attempts for 281 yards, three touchdowns, and zero turnovers during Sunday's Week 14 win over the Arizona Cardinals. Stafford bounced back from an ugly three-turnover game against the Panthers last Sunday and should remain under consideration for the NFL MVP award. The 37-year-old has 30 touchdowns over his last 10 games, benefitting tremendously from the superstar-caliber play of wide receivers Puka Nacua and Davante Adams. Stafford will continue to rank as a top-five fantasy quarterback heading into a Week 15 matchup against his old team, the Detroit Lions.

Las Vegas Raiders quarterback Geno Smith (shoulder) was ruled out for the rest of Sunday's game against the Denver Broncos due to a shoulder injury that he suffered in the fourth quarter. Smith received tape on his fingers for abrasions he suffered earlier in the game, but ultimately it was a shoulder injury that knocked him out of the 24-17 loss. The veteran quarterback continued to play through that until suffering a shoulder injury. Smith landed hard on his shoulder and was immediately taken to the locker room. Kenny Pickett took over under center for the rest of Sunday's game. Smith completed 13 of 21 passing attempts for 116 yards and one touchdown before exiting the game. It's unclear at the moment if he'll be ready to play against the Philadelphia Eagles next week, but even if he is, the Raiders might decide to turn to Pickett or Aidan O'Connell under center.
