Who Should I Start? Matthew Stafford or Jayden Reed

Friday, October 25, 9:12 AM

Los Angeles Rams quarterback Matthew Stafford had all of his weapons back on offense and made use of every single one in their 30-20 win over the Minnesota Vikings. The veteran signal-caller finished the game with 279 yards, four touchdowns, and one interception while throwing 25-for-34. He was able to find nine different pass-catchers in this game, and his chemistry with Puka Nacua and Cooper Kupp returned right away. This was his first game of the season with more than one touchdown and no sacks. The Rams will get some extra rest before heading to Seattle in Week 9.

Green Bay Packers wide receiver Jayden Reed was very quiet on the stat sheet until late in the Packers' 30-27 victory on the road in Jacksonville against the Jaguars. Reed only earned three targets, two receptions and 55 receiving yards on the afternoon, but no reception was bigger than late in the fourth quarter when Malik Willis found Reed on the sideline for the 51-yard catch and run to help set up Brandon McManus' game-winning field goal. It's been a quiet few weeks for Reed, as his target volume has fallen off week by week, but he's still a dynamic player that can hit in a big way for fantasy purposes. Against the Lions in Week 9, Reed is more of a mid-range WR2 with major upside for fantasy managers.
