Daniel Jones vs Spencer Rattler: Who Should You Start?
There is a real production gap between these two quarterbacks. Daniel Jones (Indianapolis Colts) averaged 18.0 PPG over 13 games in 2025, outscoring Spencer Rattler (New Orleans Saints, 11.5 PPG) by 6.5 points per week. That separation would need a significant matchup swing to overcome.
Daniel Jones carries a 6.5-point PPG advantage from the 2025 season. That baseline matters, but it is one input among several. Matchup difficulty, scoring trends, and injury reports move the needle week to week, which is why the best answer changes depending on when you are asking.
Both lean on arm talent and offensive scheme as traditional pocket passers. Daniel Jones threw for 3101 yards and 19 touchdowns, while Spencer Rattler posted 1586 yards and 8 scores. Volume, red zone efficiency, and game script are the key week-to-week differentiators when neither carries rushing upside.
One scheduling note: Daniel Jones is off Week 14 and Spencer Rattler Week 12. If these two are on your roster, you will need a fill-in quarterback for both weeks. DraftCall flags bye conflicts so you can plan ahead rather than panic on waivers.
