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 head coach Aaron Glenn told reporters on Monday that veteran quarterback Tyrod Taylor (knee) "will be practicing this week," according to Eric Allen of NewYorkJets.com. Glenn remains mum on who will be the team's starting QB coming out of their bye to face the Cleveland Browns this Sunday in Week 10. The Jets were leaning toward starting Taylor in Week 8 against the Cincinnati Bengals before he came down with a knee injury, forcing Fields into another start. Fields led the Jets to their first win of 2025, going 21-for-32 passing for 244 yards, one touchdown, and no interceptions while adding 31 rushing yards on 11 carries. It seemed as though Fields did enough to get another shot as the starter following the team's Week 9 bye, but apparently, New York isn't sold. If Taylor makes his first start of the year this Sunday, he'd be an unattractive, low-end QB2, at best, against a Browns defense that is the strength of their team.
