Matthew Stafford vs. Cardinals — Poised for Big Numbers in High-Scoring Matchup

Stafford commands the Rams' passing attack with top targets Puka Nacua and Davante Adams at his disposal in the huddle. While starting tackle Alaric Jackson serves a one-game suspension that could invite pressure, Stafford demonstrated his elite passing upside against Buffalo, producing over 320 yards and three scores when kept clean.

Facing a 1-4 Arizona team in an expected high-scoring home contest, our models project Stafford for 282 passing yards and 2.5 passing touchdowns (21.2 fantasy points). With his start rate surging to 84% across leagues, fantasy managers should feel confident slotting him into their lineups as a dependable option with high weekly upside.

Outlook C.J. Stroud

Expanding Arsenal Offers High Upside in London Matchup

C.J. Stroud heads to London playing sharp, turnover-free football, racking up 608 passing yards and three touchdowns over his last two games. Houston's aerial attack receives a massive boost following the acquisition of Marvin Harrison Jr. to pair alongside Nico Collins, aligning with head coach DeMeco Ryans' stated plan to lean aggressively into the passing game.

With primary running back David Montgomery doubtful, Houston could rely even more on Stroud's arm. Our weekly projection pegs him for roughly 228 passing yards and 17.6 fantasy points against Jacksonville. Given his pristine ball security and upgraded supporting cast, fantasy managers can confidently slot Stroud into lineups as a reliable starting option.
