Who Should I Start? Matthew Stafford or Jimmy Garoppolo

Monday, January 20, 12:08 PM

After losing to the Philadelphia Eagles on Sunday in the Divisional Round of the playoffs, Los Angeles Rams quarterback Matthew Stafford said he would "take some time to think about it" when asked about his future. When asked about whether he has football left in him, Stafford said, "Sure feels like it." The 36-year-old nearly led the Rams to an improbable come-from-behind win in a blizzard in Philly, throwing for a season-high 324 yards and two touchdowns while also losing a fumble. He has two years left on his current deal. Stafford has 15 passing touchdowns in the playoffs for LA, tying Kurt Warner for the most in team history. Stafford finished the regular season as the QB19 in overall fantasy points with 3,762 passing yards, 20 touchdowns and eight interceptions. If he returns in 2025, his lack of rushing ability limits his fantasy upside as a QB2.

Los Angeles Rams Quarterback Jimmy Garoppolo made his Rams' debut on Sunday against the Seahawks. Despite playing mostly with second-string skill players, he racked up 334 passing yards to go with two touchdowns and one interception along with five rushing yards. Without much of a ground game, Jimmy G attempted 41 passes finishing with 27 completions (65.8% completion). Next week, he's expected to return to his role as backup QB to Matthew Stafford as the Rams host a game in the Wild Card game. Whenever the Rams' season concludes, the veteran will be a free agent, but his strong showing in Week 18 should help him find work as a backup either with the Rams or another team next season.
