Who Should I Start? Matthew Stafford or Russell Wilson

Saturday, November 8, 2:08 PM

Los Angeles Rams quarterback Matthew Stafford is having one of the best seasons of his career, and he remains a must-start fantasy quarterback in Week 10 against the San Francisco 49ers despite his limited rushing upside. Stafford now has 16 touchdowns and zero interceptions over his last five games, leading the Rams to a 6-2 start while supporting big fantasy performances from Puka Nacua, Davante Adams, and Kyren Williams. Stafford himself is the overall QB9 so far, and he's fourth in the MVP race with +500 odds. He has become matchup-proof this season and should be started against all opponents. With that said, a matchup against the San Francisco 49ers certainly doesn't hurt. The Niners have allowed the ninth-most fantasy points to opposing quarterbacks in 2025 and have forced just one interception. Stafford racked up 389 yards and three touchdowns when he faced the 49ers earlier this season.

According to NFL Media's Ian Rapoport and Mike Garafolo, New York Giants quarterback Russell Wilson "is expected to emerge as a trade candidate" ahead of the deadline. With the G-Men winless through the first three games of the season, head coach Brian Daboll made the call to bench Wilson heading into the Week 4 meeting with the Los Angeles Chargers. In his place, Jaxson Dart will get the start. Despite the demotion, Wilson vowed to "respond" the right way by serving as a mentor to the rookie. Without question, his best days are behind him. However, the 36-year-old could find himself in a more favorable situation, so fantasy managers in Superflex setups with room on the roster may want to consider stashing him. Wilson started three games this season, throwing for 778 yards, three touchdowns, and three picks while completing a career-low 59.1% of his attempts.
