BALLER MOVE: Start in 10+ Team Leagues
POSITIONAL VALUE: Low-End QB1
ANALYSIS: Matthew Stafford is a low-end QB1 option this week. With nine touchdowns, six interceptions, and 1,969 passing yards on the season, The 36-year-old's fantasy value has seen a boost thanks to the return of Cooper Kupp and Puka Nacua.
Nacua was ejected in Week 9 against the Seattle Seahawks, limiting his impact on the game. With Nacua available for the entire game this week, the veteran quarterback should put up big fantasy numbers. Starting Stafford with his two favorite weapons in the mix is a wise choice.
Stafford takes on the Miami Dolphins this week, who concede the second-fewest fantasy points to opposing quarterbacks. While Miami has been tough on quarterbacks, they have shown some vulnerability recently.
Matthew Stafford is a bad, bad man!
Throws an absolute DOT rolling to the left…I don’t think you understand how difficult that is.

Kyler Murray scored 22.18 fantasy points facing them in Week 8, and Josh Allen posted 22.10 fantasy points in Week 9. Both Murray and Allen are talented quarterbacks, and Stafford is just as capable of putting up similar numbers.
Given his weapons and the contest, Stafford remains a solid low-end QB1. He should be in your starting lineup this week.
