Matthew Stafford

With all of his weapons back last week, Stafford balled out as the QB5 for the week. Now, he is primed for an encore performance against a bottom-five pass defense. Overall, Stafford is the QB28 in fantasy points per game. Among 37 qualifying quarterbacks, he is 18th in yards per attempt, 25th in CPOE, and seventh in highly accurate throw rate. Since Week 4, Seattle has allowed the seventh-highest passing yards per game, the fifth-most passing touchdowns, the second-highest passer rating, and the fourth-most fantasy points allowed via passing.

With Puka Nacua and Cooper Kupp back in Week 8, Stafford carved up the Vikings' secondary, completing 73.5% of his passes with 279 passing yards and four scores. Entering Monday night football, Stafford was the QB4 in fantasy scoring for Week 8. He has wonderful matchups in two of his next three games (SEA, NE), facing pass defenses that have allowed the 13th-most and 12th-most fantasy points via passing (per Fantasy Points Data). Stafford will be a fringe QB1 in weekly rankings and a stout streamer in both matchups.
