Fantasy Football analysis: Rams QB Matthew Stafford ($6,200)

Stafford has averaged 21.9 DFS points throughout the year and performed above his average last Monday against the Cardinals. He threw for 202 yards and a touchdown through the air and also ran for a score on the ground to earn 24.28 fantasy points.

That performance also ended a streak of four games where he threw at least one interception.

Fantasy Start/Sit Recommendation

Stafford has immense value as the third-cheapest option among all starting quarterbacks in the divisional round this weekend. Stafford has had a high floor but a low ceiling as a fantasy option this year and facing an opportunistic Bucs defense, he’s bound to throw an interception or two and bring down his numbers. Sit Stafford.
