The Los Angeles Rams will visit the Arizona Cardinals in Week 14. 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 14?
Stafford is not on the injury report, and barring a surprise, he is expected to play.

Should You Start or Sit Stafford in Week 14?
Shake it off and move on.
Stafford threw an end zone interception early against the Panthers and followed it up with a Pick-6 on the next drive. Yes, that means he had as many picks in the first quarter on Sunday as he had in the first three months of 2025.
Yikes.
He would later add in a lost fumble for good measure.
Take a step back and think about what you’re complaining about. Back in August, we weren’t sure if Stafford was going to play because of the back injury. And now, one bad week after months of dominance (six top-8 finishes), and we are let down?
It’s a blip on the radar. He still got his two short-range TDs to Davante Adams and threw one-third of his passes to Puka Nacua. He’s as reliable a pocket-locked QB as we have in the game and a true MVP front-runner.
None of that has changed, and I expect his video game numbers to return this weekend against a Cardinals defense that has allowed a touchdown on 27.7% of drives over the past month, sixth highest.
