Who Should I Start? Matthew Stafford or Trevor Lawrence

Sunday, December 7, 9:24 PM

Los Angeles Rams quarterback Matthew Stafford completed 22 of his 31 pass attempts for 281 yards, three touchdowns, and zero turnovers during Sunday's Week 14 win over the Arizona Cardinals. Stafford bounced back from an ugly three-turnover game against the Panthers last Sunday and should remain under consideration for the NFL MVP award. The 37-year-old has 30 touchdowns over his last 10 games, benefitting tremendously from the superstar-caliber play of wide receivers Puka Nacua and Davante Adams. Stafford will continue to rank as a top-five fantasy quarterback heading into a Week 15 matchup against his old team, the Detroit Lions.

Jacksonville Jaguars quarterback Trevor Lawrence (ankle) was limited by an ankle injury earlier this week, but he practiced in full on Friday and has been removed from the Week 15 injury report. Lawrence will be active this Sunday when the New York Jets come to town. The 26-year-old former first overall pick is just outside the top 10 at the QB position in overall fantasy points this year, but he profiles as a low-end QB1 option in the first week of the fantasy playoffs in most leagues with a juicy matchup against the Jets. The Jags may not end up having to throw the ball all that much on Sunday, but Lawrence has been more productive in recent weeks, throwing for at least two TDs in each of the last three games with at least 229 passing yards. At the very least, Lawrence will be a viable streaming option for fantasy managers in need at the position in Week 15. During Jacksonville's current four-game winning streak, Lawrence has completed 59.6% of his passes for 882 yards, eight TDs, and four picks while adding 79 rushing yards and a touchdown on the ground.
