Matthew Stafford Remains a Strong QB1 Option Against Washington

Saturday, November 7, 8:48 AM

Los Angeles Rams quarterback Matthew Stafford has maintained QB1 value despite the absence of Davante Adams (hamstring), and he should continue to rank as a top-10 option for Week 9 against the Washington Commanders. Although the veteran quarterback hasn't had one of his primary receivers available, he has still been able to produce at a high level for fantasy football thanks to his advanced passing skills and a supporting cast headlined by superstar Puka Nacua. The 38-year-old routinely gets the Rams into scoring position, and he's now up to 15 touchdowns this season (plus eight turnovers). It seems unlikely that he'll replicate last season's QB3 finish, but he is still the QB10 in scoring this year. He'll also benefit from this week's matchup against the Commanders, who have allowed the fifth-most passing touchdowns and ninth-fewest interceptions to opposing quarterbacks. He ranks as the overall QB10 in RotoBaller's Week 9 fantasy football rankings.

Colts Haven't Ruled Out Trading Daniel Jones Before Deadline

Monday, November 9, 9:46 AM

When speaking to the media on Monday, Indianapolis Colts head coach Shane Steichen would not confirm if the team has told quarterback Daniel Jones that he will not be traded, according to Kevin Bowen of 107.5 The Fan. The Colts reportedly informed Jones on Saturday that he will not be moved by Tuesday's trade deadline, according to The Ringer's Tom Pelissero, but that does not mean that the 29-year-old signal-caller will not be on the move if the Colts receive an offer too good to pass up. Jones has been one of the worst starting QBs in the NFL through the first half of the 2026 season after coming off a torn Achilles tendon late last year. His disappointing second year with the Colts continued in the Week 9 loss in a plus matchup against the Dallas Cowboys, as Jones went 20-for-34 passing for only 180 yards, one touchdown, and one interception. It has not helped Jones' cause that he has been without top wideout Alec Pierce (heel) for most of the year, and the receiver remains out for the foreseeable future. Still, Jones will have more QB2 streaming appeal this weekend if he remains with the Colts past Tuesday's deadline for a Week 10 matchup against the Miami Dolphins.
