Who Should I Start? Matthew Stafford or Josh Johnson

Saturday, December 6, 9:43 AM

Los Angeles Rams quarterback Matthew Stafford is looking to bounce back after playing his worst game of the season last Sunday against the Carolina Panthers. In the Rams' loss to the Panthers, Stafford broke an eight-game turnover-free streak as he was intercepted twice and also lost a fumble. This was his first multi-turnover game of the year, as well as his first three-turnover performance since Week 1 of the 2022 season. Needless to say, Week 13 was an uncharacteristic showing for Stafford, who had previously been neck-and-neck with Drake Maye in the race for MVP. Despite the blemish, the 37-year-old still ranks as the overall QB6 in fantasy scoring this year. He should return to top-five form against the Arizona Cardinals, who have allowed the ninth-fewest fantasy points to quarterbacks in 2025 but have also surrendered the ninth-most total scoring to opposing offenses. Stafford ranks as the overall QB3 in this week's RotoBaller fantasy rankings and should be started in all leagues.

Well-traveled Washington Commanders quarterback Josh Johnson completed 15 of 22 passes for a game-high 173 yards with one touchdown and an interception on Friday against the New England Patriots. Jayden Daniels is the no-doubt starter for Washington with Marcus Mariota also in the fold as the likely backup, leaving Johnson and Sam Hartman competing for the third spot. Hartman struggled while the 38-year-old Johnson proved to be the more effective of the two, at least in the opener. Washington will next take on Cincinnati on Aug. 18.
