Matthew Stafford a Clear Dynasty Sell-High Candidate Entering 2026

Friday, June 12, 6:40 AM

Los Angeles Rams quarterback Matthew Stafford put together a career year in 2025, throwing for 4,707 yards and 46 touchdowns across 17 games and winning his first NFL MVP award. Entering 2026, the veteran signal-caller should once again have a strong ecosystem around him in Los Angeles and has a good chance to be the leader of one of the NFL's best offenses. Even still, Stafford is facing likely production regression as he heads into his age-38 season. Stafford's touchdown rate spiked to 7.7% last year, a significant jump from both his 2024 rate (3.9%) and his career mark (4.8%). Because Stafford offers zero upside as a rusher, even a slight regression in his touchdown rate would significantly impact his fantasy production. Additionally, Stafford still faces heightened injury risk given his age and history of back and neck issues. In dynasty formats, managers may want to explore taking advantage of a clear sell-high window on Stafford.

Trevor Lawrence News

Is Trevor Lawrence Finally Becoming the Can't-Miss Player That Was Promised?

Saturday, June 6, 5:37 AM

Jacksonville Jaguars quarterback Trevor Lawrence has taken more than five years to approach anything close to the generational billing that made him the first overall pick in the 2021 NFL Draft. Now that he finds himself in the best situation of his young career, past fantasy hurts have left him somewhat overlooked and underrated by the dynasty community. A physical specimen at 6'6" and 220 pounds, Lawrence's rushing prowess was unlocked in his first season with Liam Coen, resulting in career-highs of 359 yards and nine rushing scores. Over the final 10 weeks of the 2025 season, he was the fantasy QB1, and while the pecking order of an incredibly deep Jaguars' receiving room is one of the more hotly contested debates in fantasy circles, Lawrence benefits from throwing to all of them. Still only 26 years old, Lawrence is RotoBaller's dynasty QB11, but if Coen and the Jaguars can continue to build upon what they established in 2025, he could soon be viewed as one of the biggest bargains in the game.
