Matthew Stafford Gets His Elite Receiver Back for Week 4

Friday, October 2, 10:24 PM

Los Angeles Rams quarterback Matthew Stafford had already been producing high fantasy totals over the last two weeks, and now, his ceiling will soar even higher as he gets his top target back for Week 4 against the Philadelphia Eagles. Superstar wide receiver Puka Nacua has been cleared to play after a two-week absence due to a hip injury. Stafford will now benefit from having the league's best one-two punch in Nacua and Davante Adams. Although Nacua is the bigger name here, Adams filled in admirably with the 25-year-old sidelined. Over the last two weeks, Adams has 15 catches for 332 yards and two touchdowns. The veteran will return to his role as the No. 2 receiver in Los Angeles, but both he and Nacua are still in must-start consideration for Week 4. The same goes for Stafford, who gets to reap the benefits of throwing to some of the best receivers in the NFL. We're also intrigued by this matchup against the Eagles, who have allowed the seventh-most fantasy points to quarterbacks this season. Philadelphia has yet to intercept a pass, and its defense most recently surrendered 247 yards and three total touchdowns to quarterback Case Keenum. The stars are aligning for another big QB1 performance from Stafford in fantasy football.

Caleb Williams Won't Practice This Week, Still Week-to-Week

Monday, October 5, 4:42 PM

Chicago Bears quarterback Caleb Williams (hamstring) will not practice this week, head coach Ben Johnson told Courtney Cronin of ESPN. The head coach still believes that Williams is operating on a "week-to-week" timeline as he recovers from a Grade 2 right-hamstring strain that he suffered in the Week 2 loss to the division-rival Minnesota Vikings. Johnson said that Williams is doing well attacking his rehab, but he will miss a third straight game this weekend in a big divisional tilt in Week 5 at Lambeau Field against the division-rival Green Bay Packers. The Bears already announced that backup Tyson Bagent will make the start this weekend in Green Bay after leading the team to victory over the New York Jets this past Sunday. Fantasy managers must remain patient with the former first overall pick from USC, but he will need to return to the practice field in some form next week if he is to have any chance of returning for a Week 6 matchup against the Atlanta Falcons.
