News: 3 days agoStafford completed 14 of 19 passes for 110 yards, one touchdown and one interception in Sunday's 19-9 win over the Jets. He also registered three rushing attempts for minus-4 yards.

Spin: Stafford threw for only nine yards in the first quarter and was picked off in the second, finishing the first half with a modest 46 passing yards. He was only moderately more effective in the second half, though Stafford's 11-yard touchdown pass to Tyler Higbee in the fourth quarter helped the Rams pull away and improve to 9-6. After struggling in the cold Sunday, Stafford will be glad to be back in Los Angeles for Week 17 against the Cardinals.

ESPN Fantasy Projection: Two years removed from a Super Bowl victory and a top-six fantasy finish, Stafford managed a mostly healthy 2023 season, in which he averaged nearly 16 fantasy points per contest. It was a comeback of sorts for the 36-year-old, who missed the final seven games of 2022 with a back injury and was without the pass-catching talents of Cooper Kupp to start 2023. A surprisingly effective performance from the offensive line, as well as the stunning emergence of Puka Nacua, helped Stafford regain his fantasy relevance. The vet heated up as the season progressed, recording five multi-touchdown performances between Weeks 11 and 17 (he registered just one such effort prior to the team's Week 10 bye). He heads into 2024 as an ideal QB2 and superflex target.
