Matthew Stafford a Risky Play with Numerous Targets Injured

Saturday, November 14, 7:12 AM

Los Angeles Rams quarterback Matthew Stafford is watching his teammates get hurt left and right, which has made him a risky fantasy football option for Week 10 against the Arizona Cardinals. The Rams will be without Puka Nacua (knee) and Davante Adams (hamstring) this week, marking the first time in 2026 that both receivers have been absent for the same game. Wide receiver Jordan Whittington (back) and tight end Terrance Ferguson (ankle, hamstring) are also on injured reserve and won't play Sunday. That leaves Konata Mumpfield and Tutu Atwell as Stafford's best wide receivers, while tight ends Colby Parkinson and Tyler Higbee could end up being his top targets overall. If Stafford could complement his passing prowess with some rushing upside, we'd feel better about starting him without his top targets. However, he needs to throw the ball in order to have a successful fantasy performance, and that's a much riskier bet this week. We've already started to see the decline, as he has been held to fewer than 230 passing yards in each of his last three games, and he is currently on a three-game interception streak. Managers should strongly consider benching Stafford this week, as he ranks as the overall QB18 in RotoBaller's latest fantasy football rankings.

Trevor Lawrence Among Elite QB Options Against Titans

Saturday, November 14, 6:14 AM

Jacksonville Jaguars quarterback Trevor Lawrence remains a clear QB1 in fantasy in a Week 10 matchup against the Tennessee Titans. The former top pick is coming off a down fantasy performance in a 33-10 blowout against the Baltimore Ravens that was dominated by the rushing attack. That could mean a repeat performance against the Titans in what should be another blowout victory, but the 27th-ranked defense against quarterbacks in fantasy is too juicy of a matchup to overthink it. Lawrence will have all of his weapons at his disposal, and could be the reason the Jaguars gain a big lead in the first place. The Titans also rank slightly better against the run than the pass, so Liam Coen could switch things up and pass more early. Overall, Lawrence has done a great job this season of protecting the ball and finding the end zone consistently, tossing three or more touchdowns in four of eight games. There is very little downside beyond potentially unfavorable game script for Lawrence, making him a set-and-forget starter in Week 10.
