Aaron Rodgers or Matthew Stafford Week 15 Start 'Em, Sit 'Em: Fantasy football projections for QBs

Picking the right quarterback to use in Week 15 fantasy football lineups may be the key to advancing to the second round of the playoffs. Some managers may debate between Aaron Rodgers and Matthew Stafford, who are both risky but carry upside in their current situations. Here's which one is a better pick this week.

Is Aaron Rodgers a good fantasy pick in Week 15?

Aaron Rodgers (GETTY)

Aaron Rodgers has been generally disappointing for the New York Jets this year, but he still carries streaming value in fantasy football in the right situations. He ranks as the overall QB18 but has finished as a fantasy starter among the top 12 weekly quarterbacks four times. This includes his most recent game last week when he finished as the QB11.

Rodgers also set a season-high last week with 339 passing yards, so he carries some momentum into his Week 15 matchup against the Jacksonville Jaguars. They are one of the NFL's worst defenses by many measures, making Rodgers an intriguing streamer this week.

Is Matthew Stafford a good fantasy pick in Week 15?

Matthew Stafford (GETTY)

Matthew Stafford ranks as the overall QB16 in fantasy football this year but has been much better for the Los Angeles Rams in recent weeks. He has finished among the top ten weekly quarterbacks four times in his past nine games and has increased his production as his offensive weapons have returned to the lineup.

Up next for Stafford is a relatively challenging matchup against the San Francisco 49ers' solid passing defense. He finished as the QB22 in their earlier matchup this season, but that was without his top two wide receivers. Their return to the lineup and his recent form, including ten touchdown passes in his past four games, still make him an interesting option for Week 15 lineups.

Sportskeeda's Who Should I Start tool predicts that Rodgers will score nearly four additional fantasy points than Stafford this week. His superior yardage projections and being more likely to score touchdowns mainly give him better overall projections.
