Matthew Stafford

Matthew Stafford is coming off an MVP season in which he led the league in passing yards (4,707) and TD passes (46) while throwing only eight interceptions and taking just 23 sacks. He finished QB3 in fantasy scoring despite rushing for one yard all season and zero touchdowns. Stafford dealt with back issues last summer but played all 17 regular-season games plus three playoff games. The 38-year-old Stafford was feeling good enough to sign a contract extension that should keep him around for at least two more seasons. With offensive wizard Sean McVay as his head coach and the dynamic duo of Puka Nacua and Davante Adams at wide receiver, Stafford seems well positioned for another big season.

Matthew Stafford has agreed to a one-year, $55 million extension with the Rams. He is now under contract for LA for the next two seasons.

Fantasy Impact

The Rams are in a Super Bowl window, so this is hardly a surprising move. Stafford will give them the boost they need off of an MVP season to help them continue to compete for the next two years. As for Ty Simpson, it looks like he will be on the Jordan Love trajectory where we will need to wait at least two years to really get a shot as a starter.
