Los Angeles Rams quarterback Matthew Stafford and the Rams stayed atop the NFC West with a 19-9 road win against the Jets, although the veteran's passing totals were not impressive. Stafford threw for 110 yards with a touchdown and an interception while completing 14 of his only 19 pass attempts. Neither offense was very productive in the cold in New York City, but Stafford did just enough to get the Rams their fourth straight victory. He and the Rams come home to finish the regular season with games against the Cardinals and Rams.

Los Angeles Rams quarterback Matthew Stafford is coming off a rough showing, throwing for only 160 yards and completing 59.3% of his attempts in the Thursday night win over the 49ers. He also failed to throw a touchdown after hurling two in each of his previous three games heading into Week 15. The Rams are clinging to the top spot in the NFC West, although the team will need a win over the New York Jets to enhance their chances of making the postseason. Unfortunately, Stafford will have his work cut out for him, with the Jets allowing only 13 passing touchdowns this season. Granted, the signal-caller still has some value, at least in multi-quarterback fantasy formats. However, fantasy managers shouldn't expect a big day out of Stafford in Week 16.

Los Angeles Rams quarterback Matthew Stafford went 16-for-27 with just 160 passing yards and no sores during his victory over the San Francisco 49ers on Monday evening. Neither team was able to find the end zone, but Stafford was able to do just enough to deliver the victory. His top receiver was Puka Nacua, who brought in seven of his eight targets for 97 yards. He was unable to connect with his No.2 wideout Cooper Kupp at all, but he did target him three times. He also looked to his tight end, Colby Parkinson, quite often as he brought in two of his five targets (second on the team) for 21 yards. While Stafford came into Thursday night averaging an impressive 23.5 PPR points over his previous four contests, the veteran took a significant step back in this game. Fantasy managers should still view Stafford as a low-end QB1 given his elite pass catchers, but should start him with caution next weekend, facing a tough New York Jets secondary who have allowed the eighth-fewest PPR points to opposing QBs.

Los Angeles Rams quarterback Matthew Stafford has been on a nice roll lately, and he brings intriguing upside as he leads the Rams into a critical matchup with the 49ers on Thursday. Stafford has thrown multiple touchdowns with no interceptions in four straight games, totaling 10 touchdowns over that span. Since getting Puka Nacua and Cooper Kupp back in Week 9, he has averaged 272 passing yards per game while posting at least 290 passing yards in four of those six games. He's up to 3,303 passing yards on the year coming into this matchup with San Francisco, who ranks in the top 10 at limiting fantasy production for QBs. Stafford is RotoBaller's QB20, but he has QB1 upside based on his current form.
Dec 11, 2024 3:41 PM EST
Los Angeles Rams quarterback Matthew Stafford completed 23 of his 30 pass attempts for 320 yards and two touchdowns while leading the Rams to a thrilling 44-42 win over the visiting Bills. Stafford did not throw an interception for a fourth straight week and connected with Puka Nacua on the eventual game-winning score with just under two minutes left. The veteran reached 3,000 total passing yards on the season for the 12th time in his career and now has 19 touchdowns to go with seven interceptions. He and the Rams are on a short week this week before facing a tough matchup against the 49ers in San Francisco. Back in Week 3, Stafford had 221 passing yards and one touchdown in a 27-24 win over the Niners, but he didn't have either Nacua or Cooper Kupp in that contest. With those options available and the offense clicking, Stafford still has QB1 upside despite the tough matchup.
Dec 9, 2024 7:08 AM EST
Los Angeles Rams quarterback Matthew Stafford and the Rams are 6-6 coming into a pivotal matchup in the late window this week against the Buffalo Bills in Week 14. Stafford has been on a nice roll with multiple touchdowns and no interceptions in three straight games. He's up to 17 touchdowns and seven interceptions on the season and should reach 3,000 passing yards this week. Last week, he completed 14 of 24 passes for 183 yards and two touchdowns to beat the Saints. He did tweak his ankle in that game but was able to go through full practices all week and does not have an injury designation. The veteran is RotoBaller's QB17 against the Bills, who have ranked slightly above league average against QBs this season.
Dec 6, 2024 5:59 PM EST
Los Angeles Rams quarterback Matthew Stafford (ankle) was listed as a full practice participant on Wednesday. Head coach Sean McVay said on Monday that Stafford was dealing with a lateral ankle sprain coming out of the Week 13 win over the New Orleans Saints and wasn't expected to have limitations in practice this week. That holds true after the team's first practice of the week, and the 36-year-old veteran signal-caller should be fine to play in Week 14 versus the Buffalo Bills this Sunday, barring a setback in practice on Thursday or Friday. Stafford runs fewer than any QB in the league, but he also has two of the best receivers in the league to throw the ball to, resulting in multiple touchdown passes in each of the last three games. On the season, he's averaging 18.2 fantasy points per game, which is tied for 23rd among QBs. Stafford sets up as a solid midrange QB2 against Buffalo in Week 14.
Dec 4, 2024 7:38 PM EST
Los Angeles Rams quarterback Matthew Stafford (ankle) was diagnosed with a lateral ankle sprain following Sunday's Week 13 win over the New Orleans Saints, head coach Sean McVay told members of the media, including The Athletic's Jourdan Rodrigue. McVay expects Stafford to be okay, and he does not anticipate the quarterback's practice or game status will be affected. The veteran signal-caller hasn't played a full 17-game season since 2021, but he's trending that way in 2024 with 12 starts over 12 games. The 36-year-old has remained a solid mid-range QB2 option in fantasy football, all while supporting the fantasy value of teammates Cooper Kupp, Puka Nacua, and Kyren Williams. Stafford himself has eight touchdowns and zero interceptions over his last three games, ranking as the overall QB8 in fantasy football during that span. He has low-end streaming appeal heading into Week 14 against the Buffalo Bills.
Dec 3, 2024 12:06 AM EST
Los Angeles Rams quarterback Matthew Stafford completed 14 of his 24 pass attempts for 183 yards, two touchdowns, and zero interceptions during Sunday's Week 13 win over the New Orleans Saints. The veteran turned in his second-lowest yardage total of the season, but he still managed to turn in his third consecutive outing with at least 21 fantasy points. He has continued to play quite well lately, ranking as the overall fantasy QB7 from Week 8 through Week 13. Not only has he supported the Rams and his own fantasy value, but he has also boosted the value of the players around him, including Cooper Kupp, Puka Nacua, and Kyren Williams. Stafford is a top-18 fantasy option for Week 14 against the Bills while keeping Kupp, Nacua, and Williams in must-start territory.
Dec 2, 2024 12:39 AM EST
Los Angeles Rams quarterback Matthew Stafford has played well in the last month. After tossing only three touchdowns in the Rams' first six games of the 2024-25 campaign, the 36-year-old signal-caller has 12 in the last five contests. Los Angeles needs some wins to keep the team's postseason hopes alive. Fantasy managers will likely see Stafford extra-motivated in Sunday's meeting with the Saints, and he'll have a good chance to produce versus a New Orleans defense that has allowed 23.6 points per game this season, one of the worst marks in the National Football League. With that in mind, Stafford deserves consideration in all fantasy formats, although he's a must-start in two-QB setups.
Nov 30, 2024 12:19 AM EST
Los Angeles Rams quarterback Matthew Stafford will line up for an excellent matchup on the road this weekend against the New Orleans Saints. The Georgia product has had the Rams' offense humming in recent weeks, tossing for 1,408 yards and a 12:3 TD:INT ratio over his last five appearances. That output (281.6 yards, 2.4 TDs per game) over an entire season would put him on pace for 4,787 yards and 40 passing touchdowns. Stafford will get another exploitable test this Sunday in a Saints defense, letting up the third-most passing yards per game in the NFL (256.6) through 12 weeks. New Orleans has given up just ten scores through the air, but allowing 6.8 yards per attempt puts them at the fourth-highest mark in the league. The 36-year-old is RotoBaller's QB16 for this week's slate of action.
Nov 29, 2024 9:55 PM EST
Los Angeles Rams quarterback Matthew Stafford completed 24 of his 36 pass attempts for 243 yards, two touchdowns, and zero turnovers during Sunday's Week 12 loss to the Philadelphia Eagles. Stafford delivered the production needed to support himself, Puka Nacua, and Cooper Kupp in fantasy football, but it wasn't enough to pull off the upset victory over Philadelphia. The veteran has six touchdowns and zero interceptions over his last two games, putting him in the high-end QB2 range heading into next week against the New Orleans Saints.
Nov 25, 2024 12:27 AM EST
Los Angeles Rams quarterback Matthew Stafford had a rough start to the 2024-25 campaign. But in all fairness, the signal-caller was without Cooper Kupp and Puka Nacua for a portion of the season. However, with the duo back on the field, Stafford has thrown 10 touchdowns in his last four games. With the Rams still fighting to keep their playoff hopes alive, Los Angeles will host Philadelphia for Sunday Night Football. The Eagles defense has played well all year, allowing only 17.9 points per game, the sixth-best mark in the National Football League. Still, with Joe Burrow, Josh Allen, and Kirk Cousins getting the week off, Stafford deserves some consideration for a spot in any fantasy lineup, even with a tough matchup on tap.
Nov 23, 2024 2:40 AM EST
Los Angeles Rams quarterback Matthew Stafford had one of his best games of the 2024-25 campaign in the Week 11 win over the Patriots. The signal-caller threw for 295 yards off 18-for-27 passing. He also tossed four touchdown passes, with Puka Nacua and Cooper Kupp pulling in three of them. Stafford had only three touchdowns in his first six games of the season. But in all fairness, Nacua and Kupp spent time on the shelf. With Stafford throwing 10 touchdowns in the Rams' previous four contests, he deserves starting fantasy consideration for the Sunday night showdown with the Eagles in Week 12, especially since Josh Allen, Joe Burrow, Kirk Cousins, and Aaron Rodgers will have the week off.
Nov 17, 2024 6:46 PM EST
Los Angeles Rams quarterback Matthew Stafford can continue to be benched in most single-QB leagues as he faces the New England Patriots in Week 11. While the Rams enter Sunday's game as favorites and the Patriots' defense hasn't been a major turnover machine this year, it should be emphasized that New England has allowed the 12th-fewest fantasy points per game to opposing quarterbacks. They've also allowed the 11th-fewest touchdowns to opposing quarterbacks, which could be a result of both their solid goal-line defense and other teams' tendencies to run the ball at a greater rate of frequency. All in all, the stars don't appear to be aligning for Stafford in fantasy football this week. He's outside the top 12 fantasy quarterbacks, making him startable only in deeper or 2-QB leagues.
Nov 16, 2024 9:16 AM EST
Los Angeles Rams quarterback Matthew Stafford completed 32 of 46 passes for 293 yards, zero touchdowns, and one interception during Monday's Week 10 loss to the Miami Dolphins. He also took four sacks and fumbled twice, but both loose balls were recovered by Los Angeles. Stafford has now failed to throw for a touchdown in more than 44 percent of his games this season, but Monday's scoreless effort is particularly concerning given the Rams' favorable matchup, negative game script, and Puka Nacua and Cooper Kupp both being healthy. Even with another favorable matchup on tap against New England, Stafford is not a dependable fantasy option, especially in single-quarterback leagues.
Nov 12, 2024 12:19 AM EST
Los Angeles Rams quarterback Matthew Stafford could have another successful fantasy outing despite the difficult matchup in Week 10. With both of his top wideouts, Cooper Kupp and Puka Nacua back in action, Stafford has averaged an impressive 26.3 PPR points over the past two weeks. In this span, Stafford has thrown at least two passing scores in each game and averaged 288.5 yards per game. On Monday, Stafford will face a tough Miami defense who has allowed the fewest points to opposing QBs this season. However, despite the unappealing matchup, his two star wideouts will provide Stafford with enough upside to consider him a low-end QB1 in all formats.
Nov 9, 2024 2:44 PM EST
Los Angeles Rams quarterback Matthew Stafford completed 25 of his 44 pass attempts for 298 yards, two touchdowns, and an interception in Sunday's 26-20 win over the Seattle Seahawks. The interception was a double whammy in that it set up a Seahawks touchdown just before halftime and also inadvertently led to the disqualification of Puka Nacua, who was ejected for throwing a punch at the end of the play. Stafford recovered, though, connecting with Demarcus Robinson for a touchdown once in the third quarter and again in overtime to secure the Rams' victory. Stafford faced heavy pressure throughout the game which affected his accuracy, though he was never sacked. Stafford is back in play as a streaming option in fantasy and will face the Miami Dolphins on Monday night in Week 10.
Nov 4, 2024 3:50 AM EST
Los Angeles Rams quarterback Matthew Stafford had all of his weapons back on offense and made use of every single one in their 30-20 win over the Minnesota Vikings. The veteran signal-caller finished the game with 279 yards, four touchdowns, and one interception while throwing 25-for-34. He was able to find nine different pass-catchers in this game, and his chemistry with Puka Nacua and Cooper Kupp returned right away. This was his first game of the season with more than one touchdown and no sacks. The Rams will get some extra rest before heading to Seattle in Week 9.
Oct 25, 2024 9:12 AM EST
Los Angeles Rams quarterback Matthew Stafford has been a fantasy dud since losing Cooper Kupp (ankle) to injury in Week 2. His last game epitomized his struggles as the once prolific passer went 14-for-23 for 154 yards and an interception against the Las Vegas Raiders, marking the third time Stafford failed to crack double digits in fantasy points this season. Lucky for Stafford, Kupp is off the injury report and will be playing when the Rams kick off Week 8 against the Minnesota Vikings, who gave up 280 yards and two touchdowns to Jared Goff last week. Minnesota has allowed 10 passing touchdowns this season and the sixth most passing yards but also leads the league in interceptions (11), making the matchup something of a double-edged sword. The future Hall-of-Famer's recent play has him pegged as a QB2 but with his favorite weapon back in the fold a rebound into top-12 territory isn't out of the question.
