Los Angeles Rams quarterback Matthew Stafford is healthy for the 2025 season, and he'll have some low-end fantasy appeal when he takes the field in Week 1 against the Houston Texans. While Stafford lacks the rushing upside needed to be a top fantasy quarterback, his strong and accurate arm puts him in the conversation as a starter in two-quarterback leagues. The Texans ranked near the middle of the league in most metrics against quarterbacks last year, although their 19 interceptions did rank second-most in the NFL. However, Stafford has a track record of playing clean, turnover-free football, so this matchup isn't a major concern. The presence of Puka Nacua and Davante Adams should elevate his game (and his fantasy production) in Week 1.

Kansas City Chiefs quarterback Patrick Mahomes completed 24 of his 39 pass attempts for 258 yards, one touchdown, and zero interceptions during Friday's loss to the Los Angeles Chargers. He also added 57 rushing yards and one rushing touchdown. While the Chiefs came up short in Brazil, Mahomes still had a solid fantasy showing. Specifically, he played turnover-free football and was able to make things happen both on the ground and through the air. He'll drop to the low-end QB1 range heading into next week's clash with the Philadelphia Eagles, who just limited Dak Prescott to 188 passing yards.
