Matthew Stafford, Los Angeles Rams (Rostered in 33.9% of leagues on ESPN)
In his game against the Philadelphia Eagles, Stafford completed 21 of his 37 passes for 222 yards and two touchdowns.
- These numbers were boosted by the return of Cooper Kupp, who led the team with eight receptions for 118 yards.
- Stafford is currently second in dropbacks among quarterbacks this season, with 225.
- He has thrown for 1,457 yards so far, ranking fourth overall. However, his low touchdown total of five is his main drawback. With Kupp back in the mix, that number is expected to increase.
- Next week, the Rams will face the Arizona Cardinals, making Stafford an attractive streaming option at quarterback.
