The Los Angeles Rams (4-2) will visit the Jacksonville Jaguars (4-2) in Week 7. 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.
Is Matthew Stafford Playing in Week 7?
Stafford is not on the injury report and barring a surprise, he is expected to play.
We’ll continue to monitor the Rams’ injury report leading up to kickoff for any changes. You can also visit and bookmark our Fantasy News Tracker for the latest updates.
Should You Start or Sit Matthew Stafford in Week 7?
If you removed clocks, we’d struggle to tell time, so with Puka Nacua compromised, it shouldn’t be a surprise that Matthew Stafford struggled to make good on a seemingly perfect matchup.
Los Angeles was unable to stay on the field (under 23 minutes of possession) and that’s always going to kill the upside of a pocket-locked signal caller.
Stafford did what you’d expect and funneled 34.6% of his targets to Davante Adams, but this isn’t peak Adams and without much depth around him, failure at this level (181 pass yards after throwing for 389 last week against a better defense) was likely to happen.
We will see on the status of Nacua for the London game this week, but I’m not the least bit tempted to call Stafford’s number regardless. Josh Allen is on bye, and so is Lamar Jackson, but you’ve been filling the Jackson void for each of the past two weeks.
The streaming options are weak this week, but Aaron Rodgers (at CIN) or even C.J. Stroud (at SEA) coming off the bye could be sold to me.
