Who Should I Start? Matthew Stafford or Kenny Pickett

Sunday, December 7, 9:24 PM

Los Angeles Rams quarterback Matthew Stafford completed 22 of his 31 pass attempts for 281 yards, three touchdowns, and zero turnovers during Sunday's Week 14 win over the Arizona Cardinals. Stafford bounced back from an ugly three-turnover game against the Panthers last Sunday and should remain under consideration for the NFL MVP award. The 37-year-old has 30 touchdowns over his last 10 games, benefitting tremendously from the superstar-caliber play of wide receivers Puka Nacua and Davante Adams. Stafford will continue to rank as a top-five fantasy quarterback heading into a Week 15 matchup against his old team, the Detroit Lions.

Las Vegas Raiders quarterback Kenny Pickett is set to make his first start of the season in Week 15 against the Philadelphia Eagles, per NFL Network's Ian Rapoport. Pickett entered in relief of Geno Smith (shoulder) in the Week 14 game against the Denver Broncos, and Smith is considered unlikely to start this Sunday in Philadelphia. Pickett stepped in and completed eight of 11 pass attempts for 97 yards and a touchdown after Smith left in the second half. The former first-round pick in 2022 is set to make his first start since Week 17 last season with the Eagles against the Dallas Cowboys. He completed 10 of 15 passes for 143 yards and a touchdown before leaving the game with a rib injury. He'll project as a low-end QB2 option for fantasy managers in superflex leagues in a tough road matchup if he's under center in potential inclement weather in Philly.
