Would you start Ryan or Stafford at QB this week (2)?

Stafford played a really good defense last week in Arizona and still threw for 4 touchdowns. I think I'd roll with the hot hand.

Ryan had his only touchdown pass on a busted played that went for 88 yards and it was against the Bears.

Not saying roll with Stafford the entire year, but I am saying that Stafford seemed more dialed in than Ryan in Week 1

I'd go Stafford as well.

I lean Ryan. Stafford had a big game last week but it basically all came in the 4th quarter. I think he has a fine matchup this week and could certainly have a good week, but I wouldn't expect a similar performance as last week.

Ryan plays a good GB defense, but it's also a GB team with a potent offense against an ATL defense that's not great. I expect this to either be a close game that's a shootout, giving Ryan an opportunity for a bunch of yards. Or for GB to be up, forcing ATL to throw it a lot to come back.

That's not to mention that Ryan is the better fantasy QB in general. I'd go with him this week.

Thanks for all the replies. I was leaning Ryan because, as stated above, that game will likely be a shoot out and he'll put up good numbers. But I know if I don't play Stafford and he balls out again I'm gonna kick myself. Deciding between these 2 is definitely a good problem to have and looking at my matchups i should do fine with either. Thanks for the help.

Lets look at the data:

Green Bay allowed almost 2 passing touchdowns per game last year, 8 yards per attempt, 285 yards per game, and a 65% completion percentage. Russell did just shite the bed but they always start slow and I'm willing to trust the data here.

The Giants allowed less than 1 touchdown a game last year, 6 yards per attempt, 58% completion percentage, and 0.34 points per attempt. All below average.

The Falcons are at home and Lions are on the road.

I'm starting Matt Ryan here.
