Who Should I Start? Matthew Stafford or Jalen Hurts

Monday, January 20, 12:08 PM

After losing to the Philadelphia Eagles on Sunday in the Divisional Round of the playoffs, Los Angeles Rams quarterback Matthew Stafford said he would "take some time to think about it" when asked about his future. When asked about whether he has football left in him, Stafford said, "Sure feels like it." The 36-year-old nearly led the Rams to an improbable come-from-behind win in a blizzard in Philly, throwing for a season-high 324 yards and two touchdowns while also losing a fumble. He has two years left on his current deal. Stafford has 15 passing touchdowns in the playoffs for LA, tying Kurt Warner for the most in team history. Stafford finished the regular season as the QB19 in overall fantasy points with 3,762 passing yards, 20 touchdowns and eight interceptions. If he returns in 2025, his lack of rushing ability limits his fantasy upside as a QB2.

Philadelphia Eagles quarterback Jalen Hurts (knee) injured his left knee and was in the medical tent briefly in Sunday's Divisional Round win against the visiting Los Angeles Rams. Although Hurts returned to the game, head coach Nick Sirianni didn't have much of an update on the star QB on Monday during his press conference. After the win when asked how he was feeling, Hurt simply said, "I finished the game." Sirianni said the Eagles will know more on Hurts' status for the NFC Championship on Sunday versus the division-rival Washington Commanders in the coming days. It's unclear exactly what the nature of Hurts' knee injury is, but with trip to the Super Bowl on the line, we're expecting him to do everything in his power to be out there. We'll have a better idea on his status when Philly releases their first injury report of the week on Wednesday. In the Week 11 win over the Commanders, Hurts went 18-for-28 for 221 yards, no TDs or interceptions and added 10 carries for 39 yards and a TD on the ground.
