Matthew Stafford missed the Rams' Week 10 27-17 loss to the Arizona Cardinals with a concussion. Backup John Wolford filled in and threw for an underwhelming 212 yards, a touchdown, and an interception.
Stafford cleared all the concussion protocol barriers and is expected to be under center in The Caesars Superdome when the Rams travel to the New Orleans Saints in Week 11.
Cooper Kupp suffered a high-ankle sprain in last week's loss and will be out for at least the next four weeks. Kupp leads the Rams in all receiving categories. What is Matthew Stafford's fantasy outlook without Cooper Kupp? Is Matthew Stafford starting in Week 11 against the Saints?

What is Matthew Stafford's Fantasy Football Outlook Without Cooper Kupp?
Last year's QB5 in fantasy football is averaging 12.7 PPG through the first 10 weeks. Stafford is owned in roughly 50% of fantasy leagues and currently sits as the QB26 of the year. If you drafted Matthew Stafford, odds are you have dropped him by now.
If the reigning Super Bowl champion is on your roster in a SuperFlex, 2QB, or deeper league, the loss of Cooper Kupp devastates Stafford's fantasy outlook. Cooper Kupp has accounted for 75% of Stafford's touchdowns and 42% of his passing yards.
Stafford has struggled majorly this year. The former Detroit Lion has thrown for eight touchdowns and eight interceptions through eight games. With the loss of Cooper Kupp, Matthew Stafford is a bottom-tier fantasy option at the quarterback position.
Is Matthew Stafford Starting in Week 11 Against the Saints?
The Los Angeles Rams offense was as inept as ever with John Wolford filling in for Stafford. Nonetheless, Wolford led the Rams to score 17 points, 0.6 more than their average on the season.
Matthew Stafford is averaging less than 10 points per game on the road this year. The former Georgia Bulldog returns on the road this Sunday, but fantasy owners shouldn't have Stafford in their lineups.
Leave Stafford on your bench against the Saints. New Orleans ranks average against fantasy quarterbacks, but the loss of Cooper Kupp tanks Stafford's ceiling. Van Jefferson, Allen Robinson, and Ben Skowronek hold the Rams' receiving corps intact for Stafford to target.
