Outlook Matthew Stafford

Matthew Stafford at Washington — Arm Soreness Clouds Favorable Matchup

Stafford is officially questionable for Week 9 after icing his right elbow and experiencing arm soreness following his last outing, making injury reports vital to monitor. With Davante Adams currently sidelined on injured reserve, Stafford continues to lean heavily on Puka Nacua and Tutu Atwell to pace the Rams' passing game.

If cleared to play, Stafford encounters an enticing road matchup against a vulnerable Washington secondary in a potentially high-scoring game. Our models project roughly 275 passing yards and two touchdowns (21.5 fantasy points), giving him top-tier weekly upside. Despite the lingering arm soreness, he remains a solid start in all formats, though fantasy managers should keep a backup plan ready.
