ANALYSIS: Matthew Stafford is leading one of the most pass-heavy options with an elite playcaller and two great receiving threats. The 35-year-old isn't going to go for 500 yards anymore, but he still presents some fantasy upside.
Stafford hasn't been great this season and his sprained thumb on his throwing hand creates even more questions, but with Cooper Kupp and Puka Nacua at receiver, I believe his best football of the season is still ahead of him. In Weeks 1-4, Stafford was without Kupp, who was on IR. He scored between 11.5-16.2 points in those first four games. Since getting Kupp back, Stafford's scoring hasn't really changed all that much. From Weeks 5-8, he's scored between 11.4-16.9 points. However, there's reason to believe that Stafford should have better games on the horizon.
His TD rate this season is just 2.9%. His career average is at 4.6%. During his time with the Rams, his TD rate is 5.0%. We should be expecting that TD rate to climb significantly in the second half of the season. Coming off their Week 10 bye, Stafford will get the Seahawks, who have given up the 15th-most points to quarterbacks, and then the Cardinals, who have allowed the eighth-most.
Stafford is averaging 34.8 passes per game, which is in the top 12 in the league. He'll have plenty of volume. He has two excellent receivers to target and a TD rate we should be expecting to climb. He can be viewed as a solid QB2 and a decent streamer for the next two weeks.
