Who Should I Start? Matthew Stafford or Jaxson Dart

Saturday, September 6, 10:03 AM

Los Angeles Rams quarterback Matthew Stafford is healthy for the 2025 season, and he'll have some low-end fantasy appeal when he takes the field in Week 1 against the Houston Texans. While Stafford lacks the rushing upside needed to be a top fantasy quarterback, his strong and accurate arm puts him in the conversation as a starter in two-quarterback leagues. The Texans ranked near the middle of the league in most metrics against quarterbacks last year, although their 19 interceptions did rank second-most in the NFL. However, Stafford has a track record of playing clean, turnover-free football, so this matchup isn't a major concern. The presence of Puka Nacua and Davante Adams should elevate his game (and his fantasy production) in Week 1.

According to a report from NFL Network's Ian Rapoport, the New York Giants could use rookie quarterback Jaxson Dart as early as Week 1. Rapoport reported that the Giants have a package of plays ready to go for the rookie from Ole Miss, which they are ready to deploy as soon as their season-opening game Sunday against Washington. The Giants signed veteran quarterback Russell Wilson to be their immediate starter, but the drumbeat is already going for Dart, who impressed during the preseason. The Giants traded back into the first round to select the rookie early this year, and the dynamic will be worth watching this season in Superflex and dynasty formats, especially.
