Matthew Stafford Healthy, Set for Modified Camp Schedule

Saturday, July 25, 12:32 PM

Los Angeles Rams quarterback Matthew Stafford is healthy but will follow a modified practice schedule during training camp, according to Stu Jackson of TheRams.com. Sean McVay said Stafford will sit out Sunday and will not practice on Days 1 and 3 of the team's four-day blocks. The third day is more mental than physical, while the overall plan is designed to keep the 38-year-old fresh and ready for Week 1. The scheduled rest is not tied to a new injury or setback. Stafford is coming off an MVP season in which he started all 17 games, led the NFL with 4,707 passing yards and 46 touchdowns, and threw eight interceptions. His planned absences should not change his fantasy outlook as long as he remains healthy and continues working on the Rams' schedule.

Jalen Milroe Remains a High-Ceiling, Low-Floor Dynasty Hold

Saturday, June 20, 11:13 AM

After being selected in the third round of the 2025 NFL Draft, Seattle Seahawks quarterback Jalen Milroe carried the ball three times as a rookie, fumbling once on his way to four yards while attempting zero pass attempts, and he has fallen to QB42 in RotoBaller's dynasty rankings. Always viewed as a developmental prospect, he was never going to threaten for a starting role in his first season, but with veteran Drew Lock still on the roster and presumed to again serve as Sam Darnold's primary backup after signing a two-year deal in 2025, Milroe is unlikely to see even a path to playing time until 2027. An athletic marvel, Milroe scored 20 rushing touchdowns in his final season at Alabama and ran an unofficial 4.37-second 40-yard dash at his 2025 Pro Day, and with a skill set that has historically translated to fantasy points regardless of on-field results, he remains a hold in all superflex dynasty leagues. While accuracy issues could prevent him from ever making a start in the NFL, his rushing upside would make him an immediate plug-and-play fantasy option if ever provided the opportunity.
