Who Should I Start? Matthew Stafford or Tyrod Taylor

Sunday, November 2, 8:32 PM

Los Angeles Rams quarterback Matthew Stafford completed 24 of his 32 pass attempts for 281 yards, four touchdowns, and zero interceptions during Sunday's Week 9 victory over the New Orleans Saints. He also took two sacks and finished with a loss of four rushing yards. The veteran quarterback is enjoying an MVP-caliber campaign at the age of 37, racking up 21 touchdowns and just two interceptions through eight games. He ranks third among quarterbacks in fantasy points per game since Week 4, and he's eighth in fantasy points per game for the full season. Stafford lacks rushing upside, but his spectacular passing stats should keep him in the mid-range QB1 tier for Week 10 against the San Francisco 49ers. In his last outing against the Niners, Stafford racked up 389 passing yards and three passing touchdowns.

New York Jets quarterback Tyrod Taylor (knee) was able to practice in full on Wednesday. Taylor took over for Justin Fields during their loss to the Carolina Panthers in Week 7. Sadly, Taylor suffered a knee injury during that game, which kept him sidelined in Week 8. Luckily, Taylor has been able to rest and recover over the last few weeks. It appears the 36-year-old will be ready to go if called upon to start against the Cleveland Browns this weekend. Head coach Aaron Glenn hasn't announced a starter yet, so fantasy managers will have to stay tuned for that.
