News: 3 days agoStafford completed 25 of 33 passes for 258 yards, two touchdowns and no interceptions in Sunday's 28-20 win over the Commanders.

Spin: Stafford continued his second-half resurgence, recording multiple touchdowns and topping 250 passing yards for the third consecutive game. He connected with Cooper Kupp for a 62-yard score just after halftime -- his longest completion of the day -- and followed that with a 23-yard touchdown toss to Demarcus Robinson early in the fourth quarter to clinch victory for the Rams. Stafford has also avoided mistakes in the midst of his hot streak, as he has not turned the ball over in three consecutive contests heading into a key Week 16 matchup against the Saints.

ESPN Fantasy Projection: Stafford is looking for a rebound season after a rough, injury-plagued 2022 campaign in which he was limited to 11 TDs and eight INTs in nine games. Stafford contributed zero top-10 fantasy outings and -- believe it or not -- has finished only one of the past five seasons as a top-15 fantasy QB. The exception was, of course, during the team's Super Bowl run in 2021 -- a season in which Stafford threw 41 TDs and finished sixth in fantasy points. Perhaps Stafford rebounds in a big way in his age-35 season, but -- QB aside -- the Rams are suddenly in rebuild mode and he's also a nonfactor with his legs (9 rushing yards in 2022). Stafford figures to max out as a fringe QB1/streamer this season.
