Matthew Stafford Set for Big Game Against Former Team

Saturday, December 13, 8:57 AM

Los Angeles Rams quarterback Matthew Stafford meets his old team, the Detroit Lions, for a revenge game on Sunday in Week 15. Stafford is having the best season of his storied career, completing exactly one-third of his pass attempts for 3,354 yards, 35 touchdowns, and just four interceptions. He has supported fantasy-relevant roles for a wide variety of Rams skill players, including Puka Nacua, Davante Adams, and Colby Parkinson, as well as running backs Kyren Williams and Blake Corum. Stafford's strong campaign should continue this week. While he was already quite matchup-proof, he should find plenty of success against the Lions, who have allowed the fifth-most passing touchdowns and sixth-most fantasy points to opposing quarterbacks in 2025. He ranks as the overall QB2 in this week's RotoBaller fantasy rankings and should be started in all leagues.

Daniel Jones Undergoes Surgery, Expected to be Ready for Training Camp

Saturday, December 13, 6:43 PM

Indianapolis Colts quarterback Daniel Jones (Achilles) underwent surgery to repair his Achilles, which will sideline him for six to eight months. This should give Jones the ability to get fully cleared in time for training camp next summer. Jones is set to become an unrestricted free agent this offseason, but the two sides have reportedly not been discussing a contract extension. According to ESPN's Adam Schefter, the Colts are expected to try to re-sign Jones, but the question is at what cost. Before going down in Week 14, Jones was experiencing a bounce-back season. The 28-year-old threw for 3,101 yards, 19 touchdowns, eight interceptions, while rushing for 164 yards on 45 rushing attempts and five scores over 13 games in 2025.
