LAR QB Matthew Stafford - Week 16 Fantasy Football Outlook

Week 16 at New York Jets

The rain was largely the story of the Rams-49ers last week, as neither team could get anything going until the fourth quarter when the heaviest rain stopped. Matt Stafford was 16-for-27 for 160 yards and had no touchdowns or interceptions, which is probably the most impressive stat given the driving rain.

With the Rams on the road in New York, the weather might be drier but much colder.
That won't impact anything, especially not with the Jets ranking 31st aFPA against quarterbacks, but it still isn't the cozy dome the Rams play in at home. Stafford is a mid-end QB2 this week and is an easy start in superflex, but in standard leagues you likely have better options.

LAR QB Matthew Stafford - Week 15 Fantasy Football Outlook

Week 15 at San Francisco 49ers

The Rams put up 44 points on the Bills, Matthew Stafford had over 300+ yards, and he still was only QB9 on the week. It kind of just shows the limitations on Stafford's ceiling without any rushing and the Rams becoming run-heavier in the red zone.

Another potential shootout is on tap as the Rams take on the 49ers, it's not a terrible matchup as the 49ers are just 12th aFPA against quarterbacks, but it's not as tough as last week against the Bills and Stafford proved he could still thrive in difficult matchups thanks to his incredibly talented pair of receivers. Stafford is a back-end QB2 by the rankings and with no one bye he can be skipped over in standard leagues, but does make sense in superflex.

LAR QB Matthew Stafford - Week 14 Fantasy Football Outlook

Week 14 vs Buffalo Bills

It was an ugly week for Matthew Stafford against the lowly Saints defense. He was a massive letdown in a week everyone back to him in season-long and DFS. He finished with just 183 yards and 2 touchdowns on 24 passing attempts.

The Bills are 3rd aFPA against quarterbacks, so even with a healthy offensive line and receiving corps, this isn't a good spot for Stafford. Given the bye weeks, Stafford is in play for superflex leagues, but in standard leagues you can look elsewhere.

LAR QB Matthew Stafford - Week 13 Fantasy Football Outlook

Week 13 at New Orleans Saints

I continue to think Matthew Stafford is a viable fantasy option with Puka Nacua, Cooper Kupp, and Kyren Williams healthy. However, I also need to remember that the floor is so much lower in tougher matchups without any ability to rush for yards. Stafford wasn't terrible against Philadelphia, but he just didn't have. a ton of time as he took 5 sacks during the game.

Thankfully, the New Orleans defense is starting to fade down the stretch and have dropped to 13th aFPA against quarterbacks this season. Stafford is a QB2 who may lack the required upside to be a high-end QB1. However, he's still viable for superflex.

LAR QB Matthew Stafford - Week 12 Fantasy Football Outlook

Week 12 vs. Philadelphia Eagles

With Puka Nacua and Cooper Kupp both healthy, Matthew Stafford really does have a significantly higher ceiling than we have been used to without one or both of them. That said, the Eagles' secondary is a big step up from the Patriots. They've done a great job shutting down seemingly everyone lately.

Even with the bye weeks, Stafford is just QB15 this week. The Eagles are 2nd aFPA against quarterbacks and the matchup has been brutal. This is a stay-away in standard leagues, but you may not have another option in superflex.

LAR QB Matthew Stafford - Week 11 Fantasy Football Outlook

Week 11 at New England Patriots

One of the strangest losses of the season last week for the Rams. They did a great job shutting down the Dolphins' offense, but couldn't get anything in sync on offense. Matthew Stafford nearly threw for 300 yards while the rushing game struggled. Stafford hasn't dealt well with pressure this season and thankfully New England gets very little pressure so this hopefully is a better matchup.

The Patriots are 15th aFPA against quarterbacks this season, so it's a middle-of-the-road matchup for Stafford. He's more of a QB2 this week in superflex and there are better options in standard leagues.

LAR QB Matthew Stafford - Week 10 Fantasy Football Outlook

Week 10 vs. Miami Dolphins

It turns out, that even if your top receiving weapon punches someone and gets ejected, Matthew Stafford can still put up a 300-yard game. Well, 298 yards, but hey, maybe he hits 300 if Puka Nacua doesn't get ejected. The offense is starting to click with everyone healthy and the arrow is pointing up on the Rams passing offense.

Stafford comes in at QB9 on the week despite a matchup against a tough Dolphins secondary that is 2nd aFPA against quarterbacks so far this season. The tough matchup shouldn't deter you away from Stafford in superflex. In standard leagues, it may be more of a question, but he's still a QB1 on the week.
