Matthew Stafford has been a very productive fantasy quarterback in his first season with the Los Angeles Rams. His rapport with Cooper Kupp is insane, and he is gunning for his first Super Bowl ring.

For fantasy, Stafford enters Week 16 as the overall QB5. He had some problems with accuracy going into the bye week, but coming out of it in Week 12, he has had 11 touchdowns to two interceptions. Stafford is heating back up at the right time for you to make your championship push.
