Matthew Stafford Gets His Elite Receiver Back for Week 4

Friday, October 2, 10:24 PM

Los Angeles Rams quarterback Matthew Stafford had already been producing high fantasy totals over the last two weeks, and now, his ceiling will soar even higher as he gets his top target back for Week 4 against the Philadelphia Eagles. Superstar wide receiver Puka Nacua has been cleared to play after a two-week absence due to a hip injury. Stafford will now benefit from having the league's best one-two punch in Nacua and Davante Adams. Although Nacua is the bigger name here, Adams filled in admirably with the 25-year-old sidelined. Over the last two weeks, Adams has 15 catches for 332 yards and two touchdowns. The veteran will return to his role as the No. 2 receiver in Los Angeles, but both he and Nacua are still in must-start consideration for Week 4. The same goes for Stafford, who gets to reap the benefits of throwing to some of the best receivers in the NFL. We're also intrigued by this matchup against the Eagles, who have allowed the seventh-most fantasy points to quarterbacks this season. Philadelphia has yet to intercept a pass, and its defense most recently surrendered 247 yards and three total touchdowns to quarterback Case Keenum. The stars are aligning for another big QB1 performance from Stafford in fantasy football.

Lamar Jackson News

Lamar Jackson Scheduled to Undergo MRI

Monday, October 5, 5:08 AM

Baltimore Ravens quarterback Lamar Jackson (ankle) is scheduled for an MRI on Monday to assess the severity of his ankle injury. Jackson was tackled awkwardly at the end of the first half and couldn't return in the 24-18 win over the Tennessee Titans. Head coach Jesse Minter said, "Hopefully, it's in a good spot," and added that the team discussed Jackson returning in the second half. In four games this season, Jackson has completed 68 of 96 passes for 967 yards, six touchdowns, and one interception, while adding 144 yards and a touchdown on the ground. The Ravens head on the road in Week 5 to take on the Atlanta Falcons, where it's currently unclear whether Jackson will be able to play on Sunday Night. Fantasy managers in Superflex leagues should consider adding backup Tyler Huntley in case Jackson misses time.
