Who Should I Start? Matthew Stafford or Tyrod Taylor

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.

Leading up to their Thursday night road matchup with the New England Patriots, New York Jets head coach Aaron Glenn has refused to name a starting quarterback, again leaving doubt about whether it will be Justin Fields or Tyrod Taylor leading the offense. Although Glenn has stuck with Fields for the Jets' previous two games, the Ohio State alum put together another dismal performance in last weekend's 27-20 victory over the Cleveland Browns. In truth, it will be difficult to trust either in Week 11 outside of superflex/2QB formats, given New York will be without its top receiving threat, Garrett Wilson (knee). Even then, New England's defense has been stifling in 2025, affording the eighth-fewest total yards per contest (306.2) to opposing offenses. Fantasy managers can steer clear of this QB room until the offense gets back on track.
