Who Should I Start? Matthew Stafford or Josh Allen

Tuesday, August 12, 1:08 PM

Sarah Barshop of ESPN says that Los Angeles Rams quarterback Matthew Stafford (back) is not warming up with the other quarterbacks to start Tuesday's training camp practice. Stafford didn't have any limitations during a pre-game workout on Saturday before the preseason opener against the Dallas Cowboys and was expected to practice for the first time this summer on Monday. The Rams held the 37-year-old out on Monday, and it looks like Stafford is going to miss another practice as he deals with a disc aggravation in his back. The Rams are choosing to be "flexible and fluid" with Stafford, but the longer he goes without practicing, the more questions will arise as to whether he'll be 100% for the Week 1 regular-season opener. If for some reason Stafford's back injury lingers, Jimmy Garoppolo would run L.A.'s offense.

Buffalo Bills quarterback Josh Allen won't play in the preseason opener on Saturday against the New York Giants, according to head coach Sean McDermott. Mitchell Trubisky will start for the Bills this weekend and play with the starters for around a quarter. Allen could see a little bit of action in the final two preseason games, but the Bills aren't in a rush to put the three-time Pro Bowler out there in exhibition contests. The 29-year-old is RotoBaller's top QB target in fantasy heading into the 2025 season. He threw for fewer than 4,000 yards in 2024 for the first time since 2019, but he threw 28 touchdowns and only six interceptions while adding 531 rushing yards and 12 rushing TDs in 17 regular-season games. Allen will be a prime MVP candidate and has rushed for an astounding 27 touchdowns in the last two seasons.
