Who Should I Start? Matthew Stafford or Sam Darnold

Sunday, November 9, 9:00 PM

Los Angeles Rams quarterback Matthew Stafford completed 24 of his 36 pass attempts for 280 yards, four touchdowns, and zero interceptions during Sunday's Week 10 win over the San Francisco 49ers. The veteran quarterback continues to strengthen his MVP candidacy, playing turnover-free football while racking up passing touchdowns. He has now thrown for at least four touchdowns in each of his last three games, totaling 13 touchdowns and zero turnovers during that three-week span. He has a whopping 25 touchdowns and just two turnovers in 2025, keeping the Rams in the hunt for the top seed in the NFC. All the while, he has maintained QB1 value in fantasy football despite his lack of rushing upside. Managers should start him in all leagues ahead of next week's matchup against the Seattle Seahawks.

Seattle Seahawks quarterback Sam Darnold should be a quality option at the position in Week 10 against the Arizona Cardinals. Darnold has been on a tear recently. He is coming off an impressive four-touchdown performance against the Commanders in Week 9. Darnold is comfortable in the offense, and it shows. The matchup with the Cardinals is not scary. While Arizona does boast a solid defense, Darnold already took advantage of this matchup in Week 4. The Cardinals have not seen an offense as dialed in as Seattle's yet this season. As such, Darnold has a great chance to exceed the 16.08 fantasy points he scored in Week 4. As long as wide receiver Jaxson Smith-Njigba continues to play at a high level, Darnold will succeed for fantasy. Start him as a quality QB1 in Week 10.
