The Los Angeles Rams (2-1) will host the Indianapolis Colts (3-0) in Week 4. Here’s the latest fantasy football news and advice to help you with your lineups this week and moving forward, specifically regarding QB Matthew Stafford.

Should You Start or Sit Matthew Stafford in Week 4?
Matthew Stafford is exactly who he is, and there is some comfort to that.
But there’s essentially no upside.
He’s finished every week this season in the QB15-20 range, and that’s to be expected from a pocket-locked quarterback in this world of athletes.
He’s completed 76.6% of his passes this season when not pressured, and with the Colts creating pressure at the fifth-lowest rate through three weeks (26.8% of opponent dropbacks), this could be an efficient day for the veteran.
Efficient for Stafford means good things for Puka Nacua and Davante Adams. He’d have to be near-perfect to put himself into the top 12 mix, and that’s why he again settles into that middling QB2 tier for me this weekend.
