Matthew Stafford Losing Fantasy Value While Teammates are Injured

Thursday, November 12, 5:21 AM

Los Angeles Rams quarterback Matthew Stafford is losing fantasy football value as the offensive skill players around him miss time with injuries. Wide receiver Davante Adams (hamstring) has been out for several weeks, and now wideout Puka Nacua (knee, turf toe) is going to miss time too. Not many proven pass catchers are left for the Rams, so that makes Stafford a riskier fantasy starting option until he gets at least one of the wideouts back. Stafford also has just two touchdowns and 385 passing yards across the past two games combined, while also throwing two interceptions, so he's trending down for lack of production of late too. Most fantasy owners will still start Stafford due to a favorable matchup against Arizona in Week 10, but he is going to be benched by others and possibly dropped in some leagues too.

Geno Smith News

Geno Smith Has Week 10 Streaming Appeal

Wednesday, November 11, 5:17 AM

New York Jets quarterback Geno Smith draws a Buffalo defense that allowed 15 passing touchdowns through its first seven games. Smith threw for 577 yards and five touchdowns against Miami and Las Vegas before struggling in last Sunday's loss to Kansas City. He finished with just 165 passing yards, playing without Garrett Wilson (concussion), who remains uncertain for Week 10. Buffalo has faced more than 38 pass attempts per game this season, giving Smith a chance to rebound if the Jets are forced to throw frequently. Wilson's availability will be important when evaluating Smith for Sunday's matchup. Available in most fantasy leagues, Smith is a potential one-week streaming option, especially if Wilson returns to the lineup.
