Matthew Stafford Week 14 Outlook - Rams at Bears

By Mike Tagliere (FantasyPros), Wed, Dec 5th 2018, 12:44pm EST

After throwing for multiple touchdowns in six straight games from Week 2 through Week 8, Stafford has thrown one or less touchdowns in four of the last five games. The loss of Golden Tate has hurt quite a bit, as has the loss of Marvin Jones. Unfortunately, going to play in Arizona isn't likely to correct these issues, as the Cardinals have yet to allow a quarterback finish better than the QB10 against them, and they've played Patrick Mahomes, Philip Rivers, Jared Goff, Russell Wilson, and Aaron Rodgers. Knowing that, it's a miracle they've allowed just 16 passing scores through 12 games. They bring the pressure, as their sack-rate is 8.64 percent, third-highest in the NFL, while Stafford has been sacked 23 times in the last five games. With Patrick Peterson covering his top receiver, it's likely going to be a long day for Stafford, making him a non-option in Week 14.
