    The Top QBs To Start in Week 17

    Matthew Stafford, QB, Los Angeles Rams (at Giants)

    Analysis by Kyle Soppe | That’s now five straight games with multiple TD passes for Matthew Stafford — a streak he extended in the first half of last week’s win over the New Orleans Saints. Over the past two weeks, the veteran QB has completed 49 of 67 passes (73.1%).

    There’s no way around it — Stafford is a top-10 play this weekend, very much deserving consideration to be played over flashier options like Tua Tagovailoa (at BAL), Kyler Murray (at PHI), and Justin Fields (vs. ATL).

    I’d argue that he doesn’t have the ceiling of those options, but the elevated floor that Stafford is sporting at the moment makes him a very appealing option with all the chips in the middle of your table.

    Before Thanksgiving, you had Stafford rostered as a streamer that you’d look at the right matchup. Now, he’s very much a starter as his Los Angeles Rams chase a playoff berth.
