Who Should I Start? Matthew Stafford or Jacoby Brissett

Monday, January 13, 11:43 PM

Los Angeles Rams quarterback Matthew Stafford completed 19 of his 27 pass attempts for 209 yards, two touchdowns, and zero interceptions during Monday's Wild Card win over the Minnesota Vikings. The veteran signal-caller also took two sacks in the contest. All in all, this was a highly productive showing from Stafford and the Rams' offense. The 36-year-old had averaged 153 yards and just 0.3 passing touchdowns over his last three games, so the Rams' playoff win allowed him to get back on track with his highest yardage and touchdown totals since Week 14. His performance suggests that he's still capable of outperforming talented defenses when necessary, including pivotal playoff matchups. Fresh off dismantling the Minnesota Vikings, Stafford will turn around and prepare for another talented NFC team, the Philadelphia Eagles, in the Divisional Round.

New England Patriots quarterback Jacoby Brissett relieved rookie Drake Maye (head) during the second quarter of Sunday's game against the New York Jets. He finished the first half and was eventually declared the quarterback for the second half, too, after Maye was downgraded to out. Brissett finished Week 8 having completed 15 of 24 passes for 132 yards, plus one sack and 11 rushing yards. He failed to score a touchdown, but more importantly, he played turnover-free football and led an efficient game-winning drive near the end of the fourth quarter. In the event that Maye enters concussion protocol and misses Week 9 against the Titans, Brissett would temporarily return to the starting quarterback role. He's still off the fantasy radar in most leagues.
