2023 Outlook
Speaking on his wife's podcast Tuesday morning, Rams' QB Matthew Stafford reiterated that he will not be retiring from football any time soon.
Fantasy Impact
Stafford relayed a hard "no" when Kelly Stafford asked him if he would be retiring, clarifying the rumor that has been swirling around since his most recent back injury. The reigning Super Bowl champ will have a full offseason to return to health, where he should slot in as the signal caller for the Rams again in 2023.
Matthew Stafford has been diagnosed with a spinal cord contusion and will likely miss the remainder of the season.
Fantasy Impact
Stafford was placed on IR for his injury on Saturday, and now the official diagnosis is a spinal cord contusion. He's expected to miss the remainder of the season, and it's still unclear if this injury will affect anything for next year. The Rams' offense hasn't been very good this year, and this especially hurts the fantasy value for the pass catchers on the offense.
The Rams placed Matthew Stafford on injured reserve Saturday.
Fantasy Impact
Stafford would be eligible to return in Week 17, but the Rams will likely have the veteran sit out the rest of the season. John Wolford will likely serve as the Rams' starting quarterback for the remainder of the season. Fantasy managers should downgrade the Rams' pass catchers for the remainder of the season.
Matthew Stafford has cleared concussion protocol, but has been ruled out for Week 13 by head coach Sean McVay.
Fantasy Impact
Stafford will be ruled out with a neck injury and John Wolford will start for the Rams against Seattle. Fantasy managers should expect Stafford's status for the remainder of the season to remain very much in doubt.
Rams' head coach Sean McVay stated it is "safe to say" that Matthew Stafford will not play Sunday.
Fantasy Impact
Stafford is not slated to practice Wednesday and he remains in the concussion protocol. McVay stated that Stafford has not had any setbacks in the concussion protocol. Fantasy managers should expect Bryce Perkins to likely start against the Seahawks Sunday.
