Matthew Stafford News
Sunday, September 27, 8:36 PM
Los Angeles Rams quarterback Matthew Stafford completed 30 of his 55 pass attempts for 390 yards, two touchdowns, and two interceptions during Sunday's Week 3 loss against the Denver Broncos. He also rushed for 13 yards and took four sacks. There were both positives and negatives to take away from Stafford's performance on Sunday. The good news is that he racked up nearly 400 passing yards and delivered two touchdown passes, which is an impressive feat in itself but even more crazy when you consider that his top target, Puka Nacua (hip, groin), was inactive. The bad news is that he took four sacks, completed less than 55% of his passes, and had two costly turnovers in a game that ended up with a score differential of four points. Fantasy managers will ultimately be pleased with this outcome, but Stafford and the Rams will look to clean up some of the mistakes heading into Week 4 against the Eagles.

Mac Jones News
Thursday, July 30, 12:23 PM
San Francisco 49ers backup quarterback Mac Jones (undisclosed) is healthy for the start of training camp after dealing with an undisclosed issue during the offseason, according to Vic Tafur and Matt Barrows of The Athletic. Jones started slow in Wednesday's practice before improving throughout the session and finishing 11-for-15 passing. The 27-year-old signal-caller kept the Niners' offense afloat last year with Brock Purdy missing extended time with a turf-toe injury, throwing for 2,151 yards, 13 touchdowns, and six interceptions on 289 pass attempts in 11 games (eight starts) in his first year in the Bay Area. While Jones was not a standout by any means for fantasy football purposes as more of a game manager, he was a real-life savior for head coach Kyle Shanahan's offense, leading to the 49ers rebuffing trade inquiries on Jones in the offseason. That stance could change this summer if a QB-needy team makes the Niners an offer they can't refuse, but for now, Jones is an extremely valuable insurance policy for Purdy under center.
