Los Angeles Rams quarterback Matthew Stafford posted disappointing fantasy results in Week 6, largely due to the extreme positive game script against the Baltimore Ravens. Los Angeles won the game by running the ball and draining the clock, which meant Stafford didn't have to throw the ball much. He also suffered from the brief exit of teammate Puka Nacua (ankle), who didn't like his normal self even when he returned. While Nacua could be sidelined against the Jacksonville Jaguars in Week 7, Stafford is still a strong candidate to bounce back in a game that should feature more of a neutral game script. The veteran lacks rushing upside but is still the overall QB10 in fantasy football this season. He should be rostered in all leagues at this point, so if he's still available on waivers, add him before it's too late.

Los Angeles Rams quarterback Matthew Stafford will look to build on a strong stretch of games as he takes on the Baltimore Ravens in Week 6. Over his last two games, Stafford has completed 59 passes for 764 yards, six touchdowns, and zero interceptions, ranking as the overall QB1 during that span. The veteran quarterback has shown that he can produce against strong defenses, so his Week 6 matchup against a very poor Ravens defense is all the more exciting. Baltimore has allowed the second-most fantasy points, the third-most passing yards, and the most passing touchdowns to opposing quarterbacks in 2025. They also have just one interception. Seeing Stafford post a third consecutive game with three touchdowns and zero interceptions is not out of the picture. He should be started as a mid-to-low QB1 in fantasy football.

Los Angeles Rams quarterback Matthew Stafford has gotten off to an outstanding start to the season despite missing most of training camp with a back issue. He leads the NFL with 1,503 passing yards on the year and is second with 11 passing touchdowns. He has thrown multiple touchdowns in each of his last four games after lighting up the San Francisco 49ers for 389 yards and three touchdowns last Thursday. Stafford only has two interceptions on the year as well, and he has led the Rams to a 3-2 record with close losses to the Niners and Eagles. This week, he'll visit the Ravens, whose defense has been shreddable this season, by just about every position, but especially opposing quarterbacks. Stafford has been thriving with Puka Nacua and Davante Adams each playing at a high level, and he'll look to bounce back from last week's tough loss with a big game in Baltimore on Sunday.
Oct 7, 2025 10:50 AM EST
Los Angeles Rams quarterback Matthew Stafford has been on an absolute heater of late, recording 764 passing yards and six touchdowns over his last two games. The 37-year-old now gets an extremely favorable Week 6 matchup against the banged-up Baltimore Ravens, who have allowed 81 points over their last two contests. Stafford's lack of rushing ability limits his fantasy potential, but he leads the NFL in passing yards (1,503) through five weeks and has also thrown for 11 touchdowns. He should be rostered as a low-end starter for Week 6 in single-QB formats, and he profiles as a must-start player in two-quarterback leagues.
Oct 6, 2025 11:00 AM EST
Los Angeles Rams quarterback Matthew Stafford completed 30 of his 47 pass attempts for 389 yards, three touchdowns, and zero interceptions during Thursday's Week 5 overtime loss to the San Francisco 49ers. The veteran signal caller was truly remarkable once again, as he has now thrown for 764 yards and six touchdowns over his last two games. He did take one sack and lose a fumble Thursday, but from a fantasy perspective, that's a very small blemish relative to his overall dominance throwing the football. Stafford now ranks fifth among quarterbacks in fantasy points per game, and he's currently first in total scoring, pending the results of the rest of Week 5. He should be deployed as a low-end QB1 against the Ravens in Week 6.
Oct 3, 2025 12:29 AM EST
Los Angeles Rams quarterback Matthew Stafford has plenty of momentum heading into a Week 5 clash against the San Francisco 49ers. He ranks as the overall QB12 in fantasy football this season and is coming off a spectacular outing that saw him rack up 375 yards, three touchdowns, and zero interceptions. He fared quite well in Week 4, but he did so against the Indianapolis Colts, whose defense is nothing more than average this season. He'll face a tougher test Thursday night in the form of the 49ers, who have allowed the fifth-fewest passing yards and fantasy points to opposing quarterbacks in 2025. Stafford's top-12 upside is undeniable, but he'll rank as a mid-to-high QB2 this week.
Oct 2, 2025 12:34 AM EST
Los Angeles Rams quarterback Matthew Stafford completed 29 of 41 pass attempts for 375 yards, three touchdowns, and zero interceptions during Sunday's Week 4 win over the Indianapolis Colts. Heading into the Sunday night window with just three games left to be played, he leads all quarterbacks this week in passing yards and fantasy points. The big game was enough to remind fantasy managers that he's a viable option for your starting lineups despite his lack of rushing upside. He picked apart a Colts defense that had been very good entering Week 4, and he should continue to find success heading into a divisional battle against the San Francisco 49ers, who recently lost Nick Bosa (knee) for the year. Stafford is a fringe top-12 fantasy quarterback going forward.
Sep 28, 2025 8:00 PM EST
Los Angeles Rams quarterback Matthew Stafford has played quite well this season and should continue to rank as a mid-to-low fantasy QB2 for this week's matchup against the Indianapolis Colts. Stafford has 739 yards, five touchdowns, and two interceptions so far, ranking 17th among quarterbacks in fantasy points. His productivity has been aided by big plays from star receivers Puka Nacua and Davante Adams (hamstring). He should pick up right where he left off this weekend, despite a matchup against the 3-0 Indianapolis Colts. The Colts have played quite well so far, but two of their three games have been against winless teams, and their third was against a 1-2 Broncos squad. The Rams are easily the toughest team the Colts have faced, and Stafford should be able to find some success through the air. A lack of rushing prowess limits Stafford's upside, but he's still a must-start in two-quarterback leagues. RotoBaller's experts have the veteran ranked as the overall QB18 this week.
Sep 27, 2025 1:51 AM EST
Los Angeles Rams quarterback Matthew Stafford completed 19 of 33 pass attempts for 196 yards, two touchdowns, and one interception in his team's 33-26 Week 3 loss to the Philadelphia Eagles. The 37-year-old is off to a solid start to his 2025 season, completing 66.3% of his passes for 739 yards, five touchdowns, and two interceptions through three games. Stafford's complete lack of rushing ability limits his fantasy upside. Still, he's averaging over 30 pass attempts per game while piloting a Rams offense that can put up points in bunches. Stafford is worth rostering in all two-quarterback formats, and profiles as a low-end QB2 heading into his Week 4 matchup against the Indianapolis Colts.
Sep 23, 2025 9:37 PM EST
Los Angeles Rams quarterback Matthew Stafford is tough to trust in fantasy football ahead of his Week 3 matchup against the Philadephia Eagles. While Stafford is a talented veteran who is able to rack up touchdowns and limit turnovers in the Rams' offense, he'll face his toughest test of the season this week in the Eagles. Philadelphia has allowed the ninth-fewest fantasy points to opposing quarterbacks, limiting Patrick Mahomes II to 187 yards, one touchdown, and one interception. While a negative game script could work in Stafford's favor, the tough matchup and the quarterback's lack of rushing upside drop him to the low-end QB2 range this week. He's only worth starting in 2QB or superflex leagues.
Sep 20, 2025 11:17 AM EST
Los Angeles Rams quarterback Matthew Stafford completed 23 of his 33 pass attempts for 298 yards, two touchdowns, and one interception during Sunday's Week 2 win over the Tennessee Titans. The veteran signal caller was quite productive on the road, finishing just a couple of yards away from a 300-yard, two-touchdown performance. He put together this dominant showing despite Los Angeles leading for more than half the game. In a situation where some teams might run the ball more, Stafford was still given an opportunity to rack up passing yards. He also did so against a solid Titans pass defense that intercepted Bo Nix twice just one week earlier. Stafford's lack of rushing upside is unfortunate, but fantasy managers should rest assured that there's no concern about Los Angeles deviating from a pass-heavy approach while leading in future weeks. He's firmly in the mid-range QB2 conversation for Week 3 against the Philadelphia Eagles.
Sep 15, 2025 6:52 PM EST
Los Angeles Rams quarterback Matthew Stafford is not a top fantasy option for Week 2 against the Tennessee Titans. Instead, he ranks as a low-end QB2. First of all, the Titans' passing defense showed major strides in Week 1, intercepting Bo Nix twice. This was the lone bright spot for a Tennessee team that struggled essentially everywhere else. Additionally, the Rams are favored to win, so they could adopt a run-heavy approach that aims to drain the clock. If so, we'll see fewer attempts from Stafford through the air. With a respectable matchup and potentially positive game script, Stafford, who lacks rushing upside, drops to the fringe top-24 range.
Sep 13, 2025 11:47 AM EST
Los Angeles Rams quarterback Matthew Stafford is healthy for the 2025 season, and he'll have some low-end fantasy appeal when he takes the field in Week 1 against the Houston Texans. While Stafford lacks the rushing upside needed to be a top fantasy quarterback, his strong and accurate arm puts him in the conversation as a starter in two-quarterback leagues. The Texans ranked near the middle of the league in most metrics against quarterbacks last year, although their 19 interceptions did rank second-most in the NFL. However, Stafford has a track record of playing clean, turnover-free football, so this matchup isn't a major concern. The presence of Puka Nacua and Davante Adams should elevate his game (and his fantasy production) in Week 1.
Sep 6, 2025 10:03 AM EST
Los Angeles Rams quarterback Matthew Stafford (back) was not listed on the team's official injury report Wednesday, according to Tom Pelissero of NFL Network. The veteran signal caller missed most of camp, but he evidently had enough recovery time to be ready for the Rams' upcoming season opener against the Houston Texans. Stafford is less than two years removed from a Pro Bowl campaign in which he threw for 3,965 yards and 24 touchdowns with Cooper Kupp and Puka Nacua at his disposal. His productivity dipped slightly last year, but he was still healthy for 16 games and led the Rams to a 10-win season. Heading into 2025, Stafford still has a strong group of weapons at his disposal, including Nacua and Davante Adams. Although he lacks rushing upside, his role in a strong passing offense gives him fantasy relevance as a mid-to-low QB2.
Sep 3, 2025 9:32 PM EST
Los Angeles Rams quarterback Matthew Stafford (back) is expected to start in Week 1 this Sunday against the Houston Texans, according to head coach Sean McVay. An aggravated disc in Stafford's back caused him to miss most of training camp this summer, but he practiced in full last week and has been on track to play in the regular-season opener for a few weeks now. With that said, the 37-year-old veteran signal-caller may not be 100 percent early on and could be on the injury report during the week more often than not this year as the Rams try to keep him healthy for a full season. Stafford proved at the end of last year that he still has what it takes to lead the team deep into the postseason, but for fantasy purposes, he's a risky, low-end QB2 target because of injury concerns. In single-QB, 12-team leagues, Stafford will likely begin on the waiver wire.
Sep 1, 2025 4:32 PM EST
According to Sarah Barhop of ESPN, Los Angeles Rams quarterback Matthew Stafford (back) was seen participating in 11-on-11s during Monday's practice session. This is an excellent sign as the veteran quarterback has been dealing with a lingering back injury throughout most of training camp. Seeing Stafford continue to participate in full during the team's practice sessions suggests the 37-year-old may not be in danger of missing time during the regular season. Fantasy managers should continue to monitor his status in case he faces a setback. Last season, Stafford had a bit of a down season, throwing for just 3,762 yards and 20 scores. If Stafford were to face a setback and miss time in the regular season, Jimmy Garoppolo would slot in as the team's QB1.
Aug 25, 2025 2:36 PM EST
Los Angeles Rams head coach Sean McVay said that quarterback Matthew Stafford (back) has been a full participant at practice all week. When asked how Stafford has looked the last few days, McVay said, "He's looked like the stud we know." However, Stafford will not travel with the team to Cleveland for their preseason finale against the Browns on Saturday. The 37-year-old veteran has now practiced four straight days without restrictions and appears to be on track to be ready for the Week 1 regular-season opener on Sunday, Sept. 7, against the Houston Texans. He may not be 100% to begin the season, but it's good news for receivers Puka Nacua and Davonte Adams that Stafford should be on the field in Week 1. Expect Stafford to be limited early in the practice week next week. For fantasy purposes, he has become a low-end QB2 with injury risk.
Aug 21, 2025 5:13 PM EST
Los Angeles Rams quarterback Matthew Stafford (back) is practicing again on Tuesday, according to Adam Grosbard of the Los Angeles Daily News. Stafford practiced for the first time at training camp this summer on Monday after recovering from an aggravated disc in his back. The 37-year-old was extremely limited and made only around 20 throws on Monday as the Rams ease him back in. Head coach Sean McVay said Stafford's workload is "a very fluid situation and demands flexibility." He almost certainly won't play in the preseason finale this Saturday against the Cleveland Browns, but the plan is to have him "upright" for the Week 1 regular-season opener on Sept. 7 against the Houston Texans. The Rams have been optimistic all along that Stafford will be ready for Week 1, although it sounds like he may not be 100%, making him an even riskier low-end QB2 selection in superflex fantasy leagues.
Aug 19, 2025 1:30 PM EST
Los Angeles Rams quarterback Matthew Stafford (back) has returned to practice on Monday at training camp, according to Ari Meirov of The 33rd Team. The Rams never provided an update on Stafford's scheduled workout on Saturday before their second preseason game against the Los Angeles Chargers, but apparently it went well, and the 37-year-old is practicing for the first time this summer after aggravating a disc issue in his back. Stafford will most likely be limited on Monday, though, and there's no timetable for when he might be a full-go. The Rams have remained optimistic that Stafford will be ready for the Week 1 regular-season opener. If he's not ready, Jimmy Garoppolo will start under center to begin the year. Stafford showed late last year that he can still take the Rams deep into the playoffs, but for fantasy purposes, he's a big injury risk as a low-end QB2.
Aug 18, 2025 12:51 PM EST
The Los Angeles Rams declined to comment on reports of quarterback Matthew Stafford's (back) possible workout Saturday morning. Stafford has been absent from training camp practices all summer due to disc aggravation in his back and has yet to appear in preseason action, leaving questions about his readiness for Week 1. Head coach Sean McVay is expected to provide clarity when he meets with the media Monday. Stetson Bennett IV started Saturday's preseason game against the Chargers in Stafford's place. The veteran remains the unquestioned starter when healthy, but at this stage of his career, he is best viewed as a two-quarterback or superflex-league option only.
