Matthew Stafford Expected to Start in Week 1

Monday, September 1, 4:32 PM

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.
