Who Should I Start? Matthew Stafford or Jayden Daniels

Saturday, November 29, 6:36 AM

Los Angeles Rams quarterback Matthew Stafford continues to rank as a strong fantasy QB1 as he carries his MVP candidacy into Sunday's Week 13 contest against the Carolina Panthers. Stafford continues to play at an elite level, amassing 25 touchdowns and zero interceptions over his last eight games. Between his prolific passing skills and the strong supporting cast around him, Stafford has not only cemented himself as a must-start quarterback in fantasy football, but he's also putting together a very strong bid to win MVP. He'll build on both of those campaigns against the Panthers, who have allowed the 11th-fewest fantasy points to quarterbacks in 2025, but also the 13th-most passing yards. Stafford, who is a must-start regardless of matchup, ranks as the overall QB6 in this week's RotoBaller fantasy rankings.

Washington Commanders quarterback Jayden Daniels (elbow) was ruled out for Week 13 against the Denver Broncos, but he has a chance to return in Week 14 against the Minnesota Vikings, according to Ian Rapoport of NFL Network. After dislocating his left elbow in Washington's Week 9 loss to the Seattle Seahawks, Daniels was a limited participant every day in practice this week and will have an opportunity to return after missing just four games. Daniels has expressed the desire to return to action despite the Commanders' 3-8 record and after dealing with knee and hamstring injuries earlier in the year. Marcus Mariota will continue filling in as Washington's starter until Daniels is able to return.
