Who Should I Start? Matthew Stafford or Kyler Murray

Monday, December 9, 7:08 AM

Los Angeles Rams quarterback Matthew Stafford completed 23 of his 30 pass attempts for 320 yards and two touchdowns while leading the Rams to a thrilling 44-42 win over the visiting Bills. Stafford did not throw an interception for a fourth straight week and connected with Puka Nacua on the eventual game-winning score with just under two minutes left. The veteran reached 3,000 total passing yards on the season for the 12th time in his career and now has 19 touchdowns to go with seven interceptions. He and the Rams are on a short week this week before facing a tough matchup against the 49ers in San Francisco. Back in Week 3, Stafford had 221 passing yards and one touchdown in a 27-24 win over the Niners, but he didn't have either Nacua or Cooper Kupp in that contest. With those options available and the offense clicking, Stafford still has QB1 upside despite the tough matchup.

Arizona Cardinals quarterback Kyler Murray delivered an average fantasy performance in the Week 14 loss to the Seahawks. Murray's official stat line was 25 completions on 38 attempts for 259 yards, two passing touchdowns, and two interceptions, while also adding 16 rushing yards. Murray's interception struggles since the bye week continued in this game, as he threw interceptions on back-to-back passes in the first quarter, making it challenging for the Cardinals to stay competitive. Despite keeping the ball clean through the first 10 weeks of the season, Murray has thrown at least one interception in each of his last three games, more than doubling his season total. However, Murray was still able to bounce back from the two interceptions, and the Cardinals' offense looked better in the second half. It was just a little too late for the Cardinals in this matchup. The Cardinals will host the New England Patriots in a Week 15 game, giving Murray great bounce-back potential.
