Who Should I Start? Matthew Stafford or Lamar Jackson

Los Angeles Rams quarterback Matthew Stafford (finger) underwent additional testing after Saturday's Wild Card win over the Carolina Panthers, but his X-rays came back negative, according to Ian Rapoport of NFL.com. Additionally, medical personnel confirmed that Stafford did not suffer a dislocated finger. Stafford played through the injury and finished the game with 304 passing yards, three touchdowns, and one interception. Given that Stafford essentially had his finger bent further than normal and didn't suffer any fracture or dislocation, he should be good to play next weekend against the Chicago Bears or the Seattle Seahawks. Even if he's limited in practice this week, bettors and DFS players shouldn't worry about his availability or effectiveness for the playofs.

The Baltimore Ravens surprisingly fired long-time head coach John Harbaugh after 18 seasons at the helm on Tuesday, and they are looking for a new head coach who will "reach and "invigorate" quarterback Lamar Jackson, according to Ian Rapoport of NFL Network. Baltimore wants to find someone who can get the "absolute most" out of Jackson going forward. The two-time MVP QB seemed disinterested during the 2025 season, but he also missed a few games with a hamstring injury and was constantly listed on the injury report with nagging lower-body injuries. The 28-year-old dual-threat QB also missed a game late in the year with a back contusion. There were reports of a rift between Jackson and Harbaugh this year, and there were even rumors that Jackson could be traded in the offseason. With Harbaugh now out in Baltimore, it appears that the Ravens are moving forward with the plan to keep Jackson as the face of the franchise.
