Who Should I Start? Matthew Stafford or Jeff Driskel

Saturday, November 30, 12:19 AM

Los Angeles Rams quarterback Matthew Stafford has played well in the last month. After tossing only three touchdowns in the Rams' first six games of the 2024-25 campaign, the 36-year-old signal-caller has 12 in the last five contests. Los Angeles needs some wins to keep the team's postseason hopes alive. Fantasy managers will likely see Stafford extra-motivated in Sunday's meeting with the Saints, and he'll have a good chance to produce versus a New Orleans defense that has allowed 23.6 points per game this season, one of the worst marks in the National Football League. With that in mind, Stafford deserves consideration in all fantasy formats, although he's a must-start in two-QB setups.

Washington Commanders quarterback Jeff Driskel got the starting nod in Sunday's preseason finale as the Commanders opted to rest starting quarterback Jayden Daniels and backup Marcus Mariota. Driskel tallied 73 passing yards while going 12-for-18 with an interception and no scores. His longest pass of the evening was for 12 yards to wideout Mitchell Tinsley. While his performance was quite underwhelming, he faced many New England starters. Over the previous two preseason games, the 31-year-old totaled 169 passing yards with 68 rushing yards. Driskel is currently listed as the number three option on the depth chart, and seeing him get the starting nod in this game solidifies his position on the depth chart. Driskel has a tough path to being fantasy-relevant in 2024 and will only get an opportunity in the regular season due to injuries to the other two passers on the roster.
