ESPN Fantasy Football on Matthew Stafford

Stafford's mobility concerns and flat Week 1 suggest managed expectations despite 46-TD 2025 season.

Stafford completed 15 of 25 passes for only 155 yards and a pick (4.1 fantasy points) in Week 1 loss to the 49ers in Australia. The source notes the Rams' pass game looked really flat; Stafford's lower body looked tight when asked to move in the pocket or get to the edges on boot, and he offers basically no rushing value. While Sean McVay will make proper corrections ahead of the Monday night game versus the Giants, the source believes we need to manage expectations with Stafford this season after he threw a career-best 46 touchdowns in 2025. Stafford can still produce QB1 weeks, but expectations should be tempered.
