Matthew Stafford or Jordan Love: who should I start in Week 5?
Both players' season market price, their usage this season and their last full season's numbers, with the draft market's own figures wherever it still has them.
Updated Oct 7, 2026 at 11:46 PM ET
The market prices Matthew Stafford 4.9 points a game ahead of Jordan Love this season, and that is the order this page leads on. Neither is in the consensus draft sample any more, so there is no current draft order to give between them: the market price is the live read on these two.

Byes and availability
Both are off in Week 11, so a roster holding the pair has that one week to cover twice.
What would change the answer
4.9 points a game is the entire case. The market restates it every week, and a line that moves moves the order with it.
The draft market is the half that is missing: when the consensus sample holds these two again it can order them differently from the price, and this page will follow the sample rather than the market price when it does.
