Who Should I Start? Matthew Stafford or Joshua Dobbs

Saturday, November 15, 11:44 AM

Los Angeles Rams quarterback Matthew Stafford continues to play at an MVP level, and he should be started in all fantasy leagues ahead of Week 11 against the Seattle Seahawks. Despite having no rushing upside, Stafford has been delivering some of the best fantasy performances of his career lately. He has a whopping 20 passing touchdowns over his last six games and ranks as the overall QB7 in fantasy football this season. Sunday's matchup will pit two divisional foes head-to-head with a chance to gain -- or lose -- key ground in the NFC West. The Seahawks have been tough on quarterbacks this year, but they still surrendered 258 passing yards and two touchdowns to Jacoby Brissett last week. The ceiling remains incredibly high for Stafford, who has repeatedly proven that he is matchup-proof.

New England Patriots quarterback Joshua Dobbs completed 11 of his 16 pass attempts for 106 yards, one touchdown, and zero interceptions during Saturday's preseason win over the Minnesota Vikings. The veteran backup looked solid, albeit against the Vikings' second-team defense. With only Drake Maye and Ben Wooldridge alongside him in the Patriots' quarterback room, Dobbs is in line to earn the backup job ahead of Week 1. The 30-year-old has seen increased opportunities over the last few seasons, including the 2023 campaign in which he threw for 13 touchdowns with the Vikings and Arizona Cardinals. He spent 2024 backing up Brock Purdy in San Francisco but did attempt 47 passes through two games (one start). If Maye were to suffer an injury, Dobbs possesses the experience, mobility, and arm needed to keep the Patriots competitive down the stretch.
