The Los Angeles Rams will host the Detroit Lions in Week 15. 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 15?
Stafford is not on the injury report, and barring a surprise, he is expected to play.

Should You Start or Sit Stafford in Week 15?
He’s back; that didn’t take long.
After the Panthers tied him in knots, Stafford was back to his efficient ways on Sunday in the desert, burning the Cardinals for 281 yards and three scores on his 22 completions. That gives him seven straight with multiple touchdown passes and seven 3+ TD and 0 INT efforts in his last 10.
Week 14 was the seventh time this season that he averaged north of eight yards per pass, and that’s precisely what it takes to produce QB1 numbers with this profile. He’s a top-5 option at the position for me against a defense that has allowed 18+ QB points in three straight and in five of six following their Week 8 bye.
