Matthew Stafford Contemplating His Future

Monday, January 20, 12:08 PM

After losing to the Philadelphia Eagles on Sunday in the Divisional Round of the playoffs, Los Angeles Rams quarterback Matthew Stafford said he would "take some time to think about it" when asked about his future. When asked about whether he has football left in him, Stafford said, "Sure feels like it." The 36-year-old nearly led the Rams to an improbable come-from-behind win in a blizzard in Philly, throwing for a season-high 324 yards and two touchdowns while also losing a fumble. He has two years left on his current deal. Stafford has 15 passing touchdowns in the playoffs for LA, tying Kurt Warner for the most in team history. Stafford finished the regular season as the QB19 in overall fantasy points with 3,762 passing yards, 20 touchdowns and eight interceptions. If he returns in 2025, his lack of rushing ability limits his fantasy upside as a QB2.

Trevor Lawrence Undergoes Shoulder Surgery

Wednesday, December 18, 12:10 PM

Jacksonville Jaguars quarterback Trevor Lawrence (shoulder) underwent surgery on Tuesday to fix his left AC joint sprain and is expected to return for spring workouts, according to head coach Doug Pederson. The Jaguars had to wait for Lawrence to clear the league's concussion protocol before he was cleared to go under the knife for his shoulder injury. The 25-year-old former first overall pick was placed on Injured Reserve on Dec. 4 and will obviously miss the rest of what was an extremely disappointing season in his fourth year in the league. In single-QB leagues next fall, fantasy managers will be avoiding Lawrence everywhere after he completed only 60.6 percent of his 284 pass attempts for a career-low 2,045 passing yards, 11 touchdowns and seven interceptions in 10 starts. He finished as the QB7 in 2022 and as the QB12 a year ago before bottoming out in 2024.
