Who Should I Start? Matthew Stafford or Joe Burrow

Sunday, November 9, 9:00 PM

Los Angeles Rams quarterback Matthew Stafford completed 24 of his 36 pass attempts for 280 yards, four touchdowns, and zero interceptions during Sunday's Week 10 win over the San Francisco 49ers. The veteran quarterback continues to strengthen his MVP candidacy, playing turnover-free football while racking up passing touchdowns. He has now thrown for at least four touchdowns in each of his last three games, totaling 13 touchdowns and zero turnovers during that three-week span. He has a whopping 25 touchdowns and just two turnovers in 2025, keeping the Rams in the hunt for the top seed in the NFC. All the while, he has maintained QB1 value in fantasy football despite his lack of rushing upside. Managers should start him in all leagues ahead of next week's matchup against the Seattle Seahawks.

Cincinnati Bengals quarterback Joe Burrow (toe) is inching his way closer to returning to the field. Burrow had his 21-day practice window opened on Monday and will practice in a limited capacity. Despite that, the Bengals have already ruled out Burrow for the upcoming Week 11 matchup against the Pittsburgh Steelers. It sounds like Burrow is aiming to get back on the field for the Thanksgiving matchup against the Baltimore Ravens in Week 13. It's worth noting that the Bengals sit at 3-6 with Joe Flacco likely drawing two more starts. If they lose both games, the Bengals might elect to hold out Burrow for the rest of the season. For now, it sounds like Burrow is aiming to play on Thanksgiving, but a lot could change over the next few weeks.
