Stafford has thrown for 2,262 yards (66 percent completion rate) with nine touchdowns to nine turnovers through nine games this season, making for an average fantasy option on a per-game standard.

Rams' Matthew Stafford: Four-touchdown performance Thursday
Matthew Stafford completed 25 of 34 passes for 279 yards with four touchdowns and one interception in the Los Angeles Rams' 30-20 win over the Vikings on Thursday night. He also rushed three times for minus-4 yards.Stafford had a banner night across the board, clearly benefiting from the return of both Puka Nacua (knee) and Cooper Kupp (ankle) to the field. The duo predicably served as Stafford's top targets, accounting for 12 of the quarterback's completions, 157 of his yards and one of his touchdown passes (Kupp). Stafford also hit Demarcus Robinson for scoring tosses of 25 and 10 yards in the second half, and his first end-zone strike of the night went to Kyren Williams from five yards out. Stafford's passing yardage was his second highest of the campaign and game also marked his first multi-touchdown tally of the season, affording the veteran signal-caller plenty of momentum heading into a Week 9 road showdown against the division-rival Seahawks on Sunday, Nov. 3.

Rams' Matthew Stafford: Struggles despite earning team win
Matthew Stafford (back) completed 14 of 23 pass attempts for 154 yards, no touchdowns and one interception in Sunday's 20-15 win over the Raiders.Stafford entered this contest dealing with a sore back, but he had the bye week to rest and did not appear limited Sunday. The veteran quarterback simply cruised in the back seat while the running game (both touchdowns) and defense (four takeaways) drove Los Angeles to its second victory of the year. Stafford's low-use game marked the first time this season that he has failed to reach 200 passing yards. With just three touchdowns to six turnovers through six weeks, Stafford makes for a middling fantasy option in a tough matchup against Minnesota on Thursday Night Football in Week 8.

Rams' Matthew Stafford: Back no longer bothersome
Coach Sean McVay said Monday that Matthew Stafford (back) is "doing great, and he's not going to miss any time," Gary Klein of the Los Angeles Times reports.Stafford was dealing with back soreness after the 24-19 Week 5 loss to the Packers, but a well-timed Week 6 bye provided ample time for the veteran quarterback to recover. While Stafford will be available for Sunday's game against the Raiders, the Los Angeles Rams are expected to remain without wide receiver Puka Nacua (knee), while the status of wide receiver Cooper Kupp (ankle) still is up in the air.

Coach Sean McVay noted Monday that Matthew Stafford is dealing with some back soreness following Sunday's 24-19 loss to the Packers, Adam Grosbard of The Orange County Register and Greg Beacham of the Associated Press report.That said, McVay indicated that Stafford's back issue shouldn't impact the QB's availability for the Los Angeles Rams' Oct. 20 game against the Raiders. In any case, added context regarding Stafford's status should surface once the team resumes practice following a Week 6 bye.

Rams' Matthew Stafford: Pads stats late
Matthew Stafford completed 29 of 45 passes for 260 yards, one touchdown and one interception in Sunday's 24-19 loss to the Packers.The contest got off to a strange start for Stafford, as the Los Angeles Rams' offense struggled to get going through the air. That was clear during the team's lone touchdown drive in the first two quarters, as he attempted only three passes that went for just 12 yards. However, things opened up in the second half with the Packers jumping out to a multi-score lead, and Stafford responded with five completions for double-digit gains. While he's making the most of his situation as the team plays without several offensive linemen as well as Puka Nacua (knee) and Cooper Kupp (ankle), Stafford has yet to throw for multiple touchdowns in a game this season.

Rams' Matthew Stafford: So-so numbers in Week 4 defeat
Matthew Stafford completed 20 of 29 passes for 224 yards with no touchdowns and one interception while netting minus-1 yard on his only rush attempt. He also lost a fumble.Stafford once again was playing with a makeshift receiving corps in the absence of Cooper Kupp (ankle) and Puka Nacua (IR, knee), which makes his final numbers more than serviceable. However, the veteran signal-caller simply couldn't generate enough scoring drives, and he also fumbled at his own 13-yard line midway through the second quarter to set up a short Bears touchdown drive. Stafford showed plenty of chemistry with Tutu Atwell and Jordan Whittington in particular (a combined 10-144-0 line on 14 targets).

Rams' Matthew Stafford: Spurs compact victory
Matthew Stafford completed 16 of 25 pass attempts for 221 yards and a touchdown in Sunday's 27-24 win over the Los Angeles Rams.Stafford struggled at times against the 49ers' loaded defense, but the veteran persevered to lead his offense into field-goal range in the closing moments of Sunday's victory. The 36-year-old has provided mixed results from the pocket after losing his top two receiving options in consecutive weeks to begin the season. Stafford's lack of production as a rusher (zero attempts through three weeks) makes him a middling fantasy option heading into a matchup against Chicago on Sunday.

Rams' Matthew Stafford: Loses another weapon Sunday
Matthew Stafford completed 19 of 27 pass attempts for 216 yards with no touchdowns or rushing attempts and one lost fumble in Sunday's 41-10 loss to the Cardinals.Stafford struggled mightily after losing top wideout Cooper Kupp (ankle) in the first half of Sunday's blowout loss to a division rival. It was the veteran signal-caller's first game without a TD pass in a Los Angeles Rams uniform since Week 1 of last season. The loss of Kupp is concerning considering Stafford lost the services of 2023 ROTY Puka Nacua (knee) in last week's loss. Stafford will likely lead a ragtag group of receivers into a difficult matchup against the 49ers on Sunday.
