Who Should I Start? Matthew Stafford or Ryan Tannehill

Saturday, December 13, 8:57 AM

Los Angeles Rams quarterback Matthew Stafford meets his old team, the Detroit Lions, for a revenge game on Sunday in Week 15. Stafford is having the best season of his storied career, completing exactly one-third of his pass attempts for 3,354 yards, 35 touchdowns, and just four interceptions. He has supported fantasy-relevant roles for a wide variety of Rams skill players, including Puka Nacua, Davante Adams, and Colby Parkinson, as well as running backs Kyren Williams and Blake Corum. Stafford's strong campaign should continue this week. While he was already quite matchup-proof, he should find plenty of success against the Lions, who have allowed the fifth-most passing touchdowns and sixth-most fantasy points to opposing quarterbacks in 2025. He ranks as the overall QB2 in this week's RotoBaller fantasy rankings and should be started in all leagues.

The Minnesota Vikings have had talks with former Tennessee Titans quarterback Ryan Tannehill about a potential deal, sources tell FOX Sports' Jordan Schultz. Talks are ongoing but nothing is imminent at this moment. For the time being, the Vikings have told free-agent QB Aaron Rodgers that they are not interested and are moving ahead full steam with last year's first-rounder, J.J. McCarthy (knee), as their starting signal-caller in 2025. However, after both Sam Darnold and Daniel Jones left in free agency this offseason, the Vikes continue to search for QB insurance behind McCarthy, and Tannehill could be their guy. The 36-year-old didn't join a team for the 2024 season and played in only 10 games (eight starts) in his final season in Tennessee in 2023, throwing for 1,616 yards, four TDs and seven picks. If Tannehill joins the Vikings, it would strictly be as their backup behind McCarthy.
