Who Should I Start? Matthew Stafford or Jamari Thrash

Sunday, October 19, 1:13 PM

Los Angeles Rams quarterback Matthew Stafford went wild in a 35-7 beating of Jacksonville, accounting for all five L.A. touchdowns in an easy victory Sunday in London. The veteran QB finished 21-for-33 for only 182 yards, but did a ton of damage in the red zone, throwing four of his five scoring passes inside the five-yard line, three of which went to receiver Davante Adams. The Rams gained only 271 yards as a team, but controlled the game from start to finish as Stafford piled up a huge day for managers who started him. The Rams will take on New Orleans in Week 9 after a bye next week.

ESPN's Daniel Oyefusi writes that Cleveland Browns wide receiver Jamari Thrash, who caught only three passes as a rookie in 2024 after being taken in the fifth round, took advantage of opportunities in an unproven receiver room during offseason workouts and established himself as a reliable option in the passing game. "He's had a really strong spring," head coach Kevin Stefanski said. "He is here all the time working on his body. Very intelligent player, can line up in multiple positions which I think is valuable. And then he showed up, he's caught the ball well and you know the quarterbacks like how he gets open. He finds a way to get open versus zone, versus man." Since the 24-year-old isn't really an option on special teams, he's going to need to continue standing out in training camp and the preseason to win a spot on the 53-man roster heading into the regular season.
