Fantasy Impact:

While Schefter is suggesting that Stafford was told not to play through his back injury, the veteran signal-caller is likely going to try to weather the pain and play through the injury. We won't know until he tests his back during pregame warmups. And while he has once deemed with the injury-prone stigma after missing 19 games in the first two seasons of his career, Stafford has been on the field for every game since 2011. If Stafford indeed plays, he will get a tough but exploitable matchup with a Bears defense that is more vulnerable against the run than the pass. All things considered, fantasy owners are likely safer sitting Stafford for Week 10 with no guarantees that he even finishes the game if he plays.
