Who Should I Start? Matthew Stafford or Jared Goff

Saturday, September 27, 1:51 AM

Los Angeles Rams quarterback Matthew Stafford has played quite well this season and should continue to rank as a mid-to-low fantasy QB2 for this week's matchup against the Indianapolis Colts. Stafford has 739 yards, five touchdowns, and two interceptions so far, ranking 17th among quarterbacks in fantasy points. His productivity has been aided by big plays from star receivers Puka Nacua and Davante Adams (hamstring). He should pick up right where he left off this weekend, despite a matchup against the 3-0 Indianapolis Colts. The Colts have played quite well so far, but two of their three games have been against winless teams, and their third was against a 1-2 Broncos squad. The Rams are easily the toughest team the Colts have faced, and Stafford should be able to find some success through the air. A lack of rushing prowess limits Stafford's upside, but he's still a must-start in two-quarterback leagues. RotoBaller's experts have the veteran ranked as the overall QB18 this week.

Detroit Lions quarterback Jared Goff has been playing at a high level so far in 2025, completing 77.9% of his pass attempts for 761 yards, seven touchdowns, and one interception through his first three games. Goff has a difficult matchup in Week 4 against the Cleveland Browns. Through three games, Cleveland has allowed the fifth-fewest passing yards in the NFL (521) and has recorded 11 sacks, tied for the fourth-most in the league. Goff may struggle to move his offense up and down the field against Cleveland as easily as he has over the past two weeks against the Chicago Bears and Baltimore Ravens. In Week 4, Goff profiles as a solid fantasy QB2 in two-quarterback formats, but he should be avoided where possible in single-QB leagues.
