Who Should I Start? Matthew Stafford or Kyler Murray

Sunday, November 17, 6:46 PM

Los Angeles Rams quarterback Matthew Stafford had one of his best games of the 2024-25 campaign in the Week 11 win over the Patriots. The signal-caller threw for 295 yards off 18-for-27 passing. He also tossed four touchdown passes, with Puka Nacua and Cooper Kupp pulling in three of them. Stafford had only three touchdowns in his first six games of the season. But in all fairness, Nacua and Kupp spent time on the shelf. With Stafford throwing 10 touchdowns in the Rams' previous four contests, he deserves starting fantasy consideration for the Sunday night showdown with the Eagles in Week 12, especially since Josh Allen, Joe Burrow, Kirk Cousins, and Aaron Rodgers will have the week off.

Arizona Cardinals quarterback Kyler Murray was sensational in the Cardinals' 31-6 victory over the New York Jets. Murray's official stat line was 22/24 for 266 passing yards and one passing touchdown while adding 21 rushing yards and two rushing touchdowns. Murray had very few negative plays and operated the Cardinals' offense with elite efficiency, helping to end the game early. Murray and rookie wide receiver Marvin Harrison Jr. got back on track, connecting for a 9-yard touchdown reception. With the Cardinals' offense firing on all cylinders and a favorable upcoming schedule, Kyler Murray is a must-start for the foreseeable future. However, fantasy managers must look to other options in Week 11, when the Cardinals are on a bye.
