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.

Mac Jones News

Mac Jones Remains a Deep-League Superflex Stash

Tuesday, November 10, 10:15 AM

San Francisco 49ers quarterback Mac Jones took the final three kneel-downs in Sunday's win over the Las Vegas Raiders and has yet to attempt a pass this season. Dianna Russini reported that the Minnesota Vikings checked in on Jones before Tuesday's trade deadline and found San Francisco's asking price too high. Minnesota is set to send a 2027 third-round pick to Las Vegas for Kirk Cousins, according to NFL Network. Brock Purdy has started all eight games this season and thrown 17 touchdown passes heading into Sunday's visit to the Dallas Cowboys. Jones is worth a bench spot in deep Superflex leagues where most starting quarterbacks are already rostered, especially for managers who start Purdy. When Purdy missed time with a toe injury in 2025, Jones threw for 2,151 yards and 13 touchdowns in eight starts. He attempted at least 39 passes in five of those starts and topped 300 yards three times. His quietest start came against the Atlanta Falcons, when he threw for 152 yards without a touchdown on 26 attempts.
