Yahoo Fantasy Football on Matthew Stafford
From the article
Stafford doesn't look fully healthy right now. Some of his sideline and downfield attempts lack his usual zip, and his throwing motion is feeling a little more Philip Rivers-like. I wasn't surprised to see Monday's report that his elbow is sore.
STACKED’s take
Stafford's sore elbow limits his ceiling; he's QB16 in EPA per dropback.
Stafford doesn't look fully healthy right now; his sideline and downfield attempts lack his usual zip, and his throwing motion resembles Philip Rivers-like mechanics. Monday's report confirmed his elbow is sore, which aligns with his throwing motion. Over the past month, his average depth of target is just 5.4 yards downfield. The Rams have remained top-five in neutral pass rate in the two games without Davante Adams. Stafford is a lower-ceiling QB2 right now and is fantasy's QB16 this year on QB16 EPA per dropback. He faces a Washington defense allowing the third-most half PPR points per game to quarterbacks (22.0). The Rams enter as 5.5-point road favorites with a 26.5-point implied team total (eighth).
