2024 Fantasy Outlook
Stafford bounced back somewhat from an injury-riddled 2022 campaign but still was only QB15 in fantasy last season. That might be his ceiling at this point, though in his last six games he averaged 20.6 fantasy points. Prorated to a full season, that would place him third among QBs. In that stretch he threw 15/3 TD/INT with 8.0 YPA, compared to 9/8 TD/INT with 7.3 YPA in his first nine games. The biggest difference was his red-zone TD rate, which jumped from an absurdly low 13.9 percent to an above-average 28.6. That likely will normalize around league average (23.5 percent) this year, but if his 71.5 percent on-target rate (23rd) doesn't improve or if he doesn't increase his 7.7 average target depth (15th), he's unlikely to be much more than a middling fantasy QB. And that's with good health, which can't be assumed for the 36-year-old, who adds nothing on the ground (65 rushing yards last year in 15 games). Stafford has a solid pair of wide receivers in Cooper Kupp and Puka Nacua, and No. 3 wideout Demarcus Robinson came on late last season. Running back Kyren Williams gives the Rams a balanced offense, and Sean McVay's still calling plays, so Stafford at least still has plenty of fantasy value in two-QB leagues. Read Past Outlooks
RANKS
Loses another weapon Sunday
Stafford completed 19 of 27 pass attempts for 216 yards with no touchdowns or rushing attempts and one lost fumble in Sunday's 41-10 loss to the Cardinals.
ANALYSIS
Stafford struggled mightily after losing top wideout Cooper Kupp (ankle) in the first half of Sunday's blowout loss to a division rival. It was the veteran signal-caller's first game without a TD pass in a Rams uniform since Week 1 of last season. The loss of Kupp is concerning considering Stafford lost the services of 2023 ROTY Puka Nacua (knee) in last week's loss. Stafford will likely lead a ragtag group of receivers into a difficult matchup against the 49ers on Sunday.

The Rams turned in the worst Super Bowl title defense in NFL history last year (5-12), and Stafford was a big reason why. Before missing a game with a concussion and then the last seven games with a spinal cord contusion, Stafford struggled to a 10/8 TD/INT in nine games. His YPA dropped by more than a yard from the previous year to 6.9 (21st) while his average target depth dropped by nearly two yards to 6.7, 29th in the NFL. Stafford’s downfield passing took a big hit as his on-target percentage sank to 37.5 (30th) on attempts of 20-plus yards. Other than Cooper Kupp, who only played nine games, Stafford didn’t have a quality wideout to target -- Allen Robinson was a free-agent bust, Van Jefferson missed the first six games with a knee injury and Ben Skowronek and Tutu Atwell failed to develop. Robinson is gone, but the Rams did not acquire additional receiving weapons through free agency or the draft other than fifth-round pick Puka Nacua. So, it will be Kupp, Jefferson, Skowronek and Atwell again, along with TE Tyler Higbee. Stafford doesn’t run and the offensive line is poor (though second-round pick Steve Avila could help at LG). It’s not a good fantasy recipe.

Latest Fantasy Rumors
Could be without top two WRs
Stafford may be without his top two targets in Week 3 against the 49ers, as Jourdan Rodrigue of The Athletic reports that Cooper Kupp left the locker room in a walking boot after Sunday's 41-10 loss to the Cardinals.
ANALYSIS
Kupp injured his ankle in the first half against Arizona, and the walking boot points to the possibility of additional missed time. The Rams are already without Puka Nacua, who is on IR due to a knee injury he aggravated in Week 1. If both star wide receivers are unavailable, Stafford would have the likes of Demarcus Robinson, Tyler Johnson and Tutu Atwell as his top wide receivers.
