BALLER MOVE: Add in 14+ Leagues
ROSTERED IN: 55% of Leagues
ANALYSIS: Despite missing Cooper Kupp, Matthew Stafford is off to a solid start early this season. The 35-year-old completed 18-of-33 pass attempts for 269 yards, one touchdown, and two interceptions in Monday's loss to the Bengals. Despite struggling on Monday night, Stafford has thrown for 0ver 300 yards in two of his last three games. Despite the excellent yardage, his overall fantasy scoring has been somewhat lacking because he has just two touchdowns on the season. He's thrown 126 attempts through three weeks. That kind of volume, especially combined with his passing efficiency, will eventually lead to more touchdowns.

There is optimism that Kupp will be ready to play by Week 5, giving Stafford another weapon with rookie sensation Puka Nacua and Tutu Atwell. Based on how these two receivers have played and the ancillary weapons of Van Jefferson and Tyler Higbee, adding Kupp will give Stafford a full arsenal.
The Rams have just 252 rushing yards through three weeks, ranking 25th in the league, which means this team will need to continue leaning on Stafford and the passing game. Stafford will play against Indianapolis, Philadelphia, and Arizona in the next three weeks. All three teams are in the top 10 in most points given up to opposing quarterbacks through the season's first three weeks.
