Who Should I Start? Matthew Stafford or Lamar Jackson

Sunday, November 2, 8:32 PM

Los Angeles Rams quarterback Matthew Stafford completed 24 of his 32 pass attempts for 281 yards, four touchdowns, and zero interceptions during Sunday's Week 9 victory over the New Orleans Saints. He also took two sacks and finished with a loss of four rushing yards. The veteran quarterback is enjoying an MVP-caliber campaign at the age of 37, racking up 21 touchdowns and just two interceptions through eight games. He ranks third among quarterbacks in fantasy points per game since Week 4, and he's eighth in fantasy points per game for the full season. Stafford lacks rushing upside, but his spectacular passing stats should keep him in the mid-range QB1 tier for Week 10 against the San Francisco 49ers. In his last outing against the Niners, Stafford racked up 389 passing yards and three passing touchdowns.

Baltimore Ravens quarterback Lamar Jackson returned from a three-game absence and picked apart the Miami Dolphins for four touchdowns through the air with a 78.3 completion percentage. He'll have a tougher task ahead of him in Week 10 against the Minnesota Vikings. They're around the middle of the pack in terms of fantasy points allowed to opposing QBs, with an average of 16.62 per game. Over the last three weeks, however, the Vikings have given up 19 or more fantasy points in each game. Jackson is already a must-start, and should continue to roll while the offense is the healthiest it's been all season.
