Who Should I Start? Matthew Stafford or Shedeur Sanders

Thursday, November 13, 1:08 PM

Los Angeles Rams quarterback Matthew Stafford hasn't played like a 37-year-old in his 17th year in the league in 2025. In fact, he's playing some of the best football of his career and comes into a crucial Week 11 divisional battle against the Seattle Seahawks this Sunday on an incredible hot streak. Stafford went 24-for-36 passing for 280 yards and four touchdowns in last week's blowout win over the San Francisco 49ers to reach 400 passing TDs for his career. He not only leads the NFL with 25 passing touchdowns through 10 weeks, but Stafford is on an absolute heater, going 69-for-101 with 13 touchdowns and no picks in his last three games. Fantasy managers who scored Stafford off the waiver wire earlier this year are sitting pretty. However, will he be able to keep the good times rolling on Sunday versus Seattle? The Seahawks' defense is improved, but they are around the middle of the pack in average fantasy points allowed per week to QBs and passing yards allowed per game, so there's absolutely no reason why anyone should be benching the red-hot Stafford this weekend.

Cleveland Browns rookie quarterback Shedeur Sanders (back) will be the team's No. 2 QB on Sunday against the New York Jets in Week 10, according to head coach Kevin Stefanski. Sanders missed the Week 8 loss to the New England Patriots due to back tightness, but he's ready to back up fellow rookie Dillon Gabriel once again coming out of the team's bye week. With the 23-year-old signal-caller back to full health, Bailey Zappe will revert to the QB3 role. Sanders has slowly risen up Cleveland's QB depth chart this year following the trades of Kenny Pickett and Joe Flacco. The Browns want to get an extended look at Gabriel as the starter under center, but it doesn't mean that Sanders won't make his NFL debut for the team later this year. Still, he should only be rostered right now in dynasty/keeper leagues.
