Matthew Stafford News
Monday, September 21, 8:15 PM
Los Angeles Rams quarterback Matthew Stafford completed 22 of his 31 pass attempts for 327 yards, four touchdowns, and one interception during Monday's blowout win over the New York Giants. He also took one sack in the victory. After tallying 155 yards, zero touchdowns, and one interception in last week's season opener, Stafford bounced back in a huge way on national television. Best of all, he did it without Puka Nacua (hip), who was ruled out shortly before kickoff. Stafford relied heavily on his rapport with veteran receiver Davante Adams, and the reigning MVP should continue to produce at a high level once Nacua rejoins this elite receiver room. The 38-year-old quarterback may not have the same rushing upside as some of the other flashy names in fantasy football, but his elite arm keeps him in the top-eight quarterback range going forward. He's a borderline must-start quarterback for Week 3 against the Denver Broncos.

Dak Prescott News
Sunday, September 20, 7:34 PM
Dallas Cowboys quarterback Dak Prescott shook off the rust that plagued him in Week 1 to dominate the divisional rival Washington Commanders at home. Prescott slung two touchdowns each to wide receiver CeeDee Lamb and tight end Jake Ferguson, racking up 279 yards through the air in the process. He added four carries for 26 yards on the ground for a fantasy football finish of 29.8 PPR points. The Commanders have long struggled on defense, with their secondary and linebackers being a particular point of weakness. Prescott confirmed his status as an elite draft pick in superflex and six-point passing touchdown fantasy leagues, and Dallas' offense hummed with efficiency. While this was one of their softer matchups, it was still encouraging from a season-long potential standpoint to see them work well. Next week presents a greater challenge against the Baltimore Ravens, though they'll get to play that game at home, which helps. The Ravens also just lost to the New Orleans Saints, so Dallas may be able to poke some holes in their defense. Prescott will be a QB1 in fantasy football for that matchup.
