    Is Matthew Stafford Playing vs. the Eagles?

    Stafford does not have an injury designation heading into the game this weekend. Barring any setbacks, he is on track to play vs. the Eagles.

    We’ll continue to monitor the Rams’ injury report. You can also visit and bookmark our NFL Injury Tracker and Fantasy News Tracker for the latest updates.

    Should You Start or Sit Matthew Stafford in the Divisional Round?

    The Rams didn’t need Matthew Stafford to do much in the second half of last week’s dominating effort against the Vikings, and that suppressed his volume in a major way (27 attempts). He did, however, prove capable of executing a clear plan — if you trust Sean McVay to scheme up creativity, Stafford could clear 275 passing yards for the seventh time this season and pay off his very manageable price tag.

    He threw for 243 yards and two touchdowns against the Eagles earlier this season, and that came in a 37-20 loss.

    Is that his ceiling? In that game, Los Angeles was behind for the entire second half and got a vintage Cooper Kupp performance (11 targets and a touchdown). If all of those things fall into place, Stafford will finish as a viable place to save money but not a slate-breaker. There is far too much upside elsewhere at the QB position to target a road underdog playing outside in what could be a wintery mix of precipitation.

    If I’m pivoting from the expensive quarterbacks this week, Stafford still ranks on a per-dollar basis behind Jared Goff and Patrick Mahomes.
