Matthew Stafford Questionable Against Bills
Dec. 14, 2018
.Detroit Lions quarterback Matthew Stafford (back) was limited in practice all week and is questionable for Week 15 against the Bills. Stafford is as tough as they come and will play this Sunday, but he's an unattractive QB2 with a depleted offense going on the road against an underrated defense. Stafford will have LeGarrette Blount and Zach Zenner in the backfield and Kenny Golladay, TJ Jones and rookie Brandon Powell as his receivers. That's as bad as it gets in the NFL.

Matthew Stafford In Tough Spot Week 15
Dec. 13, 2018
.Detroit Lions quarterback Matthew Stafford had one of the least productive games of his 10-year career last week against the Cardinals, throwing for just 101 yards and no touchdowns. Despite the Lions winning 17-3, Stafford left much to be desired, and the situation doesn't get better this week on the road against the Bills. The 30-year-old signal caller leads one of the most depleted offenses in the NFL right now. Kerryon Johnson (knee) has missed several weeks and Marvin Jones (knee) is on the IR, so his weapons are limited. The Bills defense has kept them competitive all season and they have allowed the fewest fantasy points to quarterbacks this season, meaning Stafford could have his work cut out for him. Don't lean on him as anything more than low-end QB2.

Matthew Stafford Posts A Clunker Against Cardinals
Dec. 9, 2018
.Detroit Lions quarterback Matthew Stafford finished 15 of 23 for just 101 yards and no touchdowns in Sunday's 17-3 win over the Arizona Cardinals. This is arguably the worst statistical game in Stafford's career. Including Sunday's win, Stafford hasn't thrown for more than 245 yards in four straight games and has just two touchdowns in the same span. All things considered, Stafford's stat lines have ben dreadful and he is just about un-useable in fantasy football right now, especially with it being playoff time. Next week, the Lions travel to Buffalo to take on the Bills.

Matthew Stafford, Bruce Ellington Active
Dec. 9, 2018
.Detroit Lions quarterback Matthew Stafford (back), wide receiver Bruce Ellington (back) and tight end Michael Roberts (shoulder) are active in Week 14 against the Cardinals. Stafford is running out of playmakers on offense due to injuries and trades, so even in a good matchup he'll be a mediocre QB2 play this weekend. Ellington has an opportunity to be a bigger part of the offense with Marvin Jones out for the year. Ellington has seen a big increase in targets in recent weeks but hasn't done much with them, making him a low-end WR4/flex in PPR leagues. Roberts is a red zone weapon for Stafford but is a touchdown-dependent TE2. Receiver Brandon Powell (calf) is inactive, which is good news for TJ Jones in three-receiver sets.

Matthew Stafford, Bruce Ellington Questionable
Dec. 7, 2018
.Detroit Lions quarterback Matthew Stafford (back), wide receivers Bruce Ellington (back) and Brandon Powell (calf) and tight end Michael Roberts (shoulder) were all limited in practice on Friday and are questionable for Week 14 against the Cardinals. Everyone in this group should be able to suit up, barring some sort of setback. Stafford's ceiling is at rock bottom after losing his best weapons on offense. Even in a good matchup, he's a low-end QB2. Ellington has 17 targets in the last two games but has 13 catches and just 63 yards to show for it. He's merely a DFS sleeper with target upside. Powell will be the team's No. 4 wideout, at best. Roberts should be able to return and could see red-zone looks but is a touchdown-dependent TE2. Cornerback Darius Slay (ankle) is also questionable. If he sits out, it'd be good news for Cardinals top receiver Larry Fitzgerald.
Matthew Stafford Has Solid Matchup In Week 14
Dec. 6, 2018
.Detroit Lions quarterback Matthew Stafford hasnt provided steady fantasy production in several weeks now. It doesnt help that Stafford is now dealing with a back injury that has limited him in practice this week. However, if he good to go against the Cardinals, he has a chance to recover from his recent inconsistent play. Hes sitting as a fringe QB2 right now with little upside as many of his weapons are also injured. It would be hard to trust Stafford with your first-round playoff matchup but you could certainly do worse.

Kenny Golladay, Matthew Stafford Limited In Practice
Dec. 5, 2018
.Detroit Lions wide receiver Kenny Golladay (quadriceps), quarterback Matthew Stafford (back) and wide receiver Brandon Powell (calf) were all limited in practice on Wednesday. Golladay and Stafford should be fine to play in Week 14 against the Cardinals, while Powell has a chance to return after sitting out last Sunday. Golladay is the No. 1 wideout now that Marvin Jones is out for the year, but he disappointed in Week 13 with three catches for only 50 yards and could be shut down again while going up against Cardinals shutdown cornerback Patrick Peterson this weekend. Stafford has become a low-upside QB2 now that he's lost his best aerial weapons. Powell would have an opportunity for decent targets if he returns, but he can't be relied on in fantasy.
Matthew Stafford Very Mediocre Against Rams
Dec. 2, 2018
.Detroit Lions quarterback Matthew Stafford finished 20 of 33 for 245 yards with one touchdown and one interception in the 30-16 loss to the LA Rams. He was also strip sacked by Aaron Donald in the loss. The teams only touchdown was a Stafford pass to offensive lineman Taylor Decker, which is telling of the Lions day offensively. This team is just floundering and Stafford is playing very underwhelming football. At 4-8, all hope is long gone for the Lions as they head to Arizona in Week 14.

Matthew Stafford Has Tough Matchup On Sunday
Nov. 28, 2018
.Detroit Lions quarterback Matthew Stafford was flat out bad on Thanksgiving, throwing for just 236 yards, no touchdowns, and two interceptions against the Bears. This week he gets to face one of the fiercest pass-rush defenses in the NFL, the LA Rams. While the Lions will be at home again, Stafford will be without Marvin Jones (knee), who was placed on Injured Reserve earlier this week. That leaves his targets to be Kenny Golladay, Bruce Ellington, TJ Jones, and Theo Riddick, with the occasional last-ditch throw to a tight end. The only positive for Stafford is that the 10-1 Rams will likely get ahead early and stay ahead, meaning he will be throwing a lot. While this is the same defense that allowed 51 points in their last game against the Chiefs, the Lions are not even close to the Chiefs. Stafford is nothing but a QB2 in Week 13.
Matthew Stafford Falls Flat Against Bears
Nov. 23, 2018
.Detroit Lions quarterback Matthew Stafford finished 28 of 38 for 236 yards, while throwing two interceptions in the loss to the Bears on Thursday. This game marks the second time this year that Stafford did not throw for a touchdown and the third time that he threw multiple interceptions. This was a very poor showing for the 30-year-old signal caller, but it's a symbol of just how the Lions have been playing all year. Things don't get easier next week, as the Lions will likely be playing catch up to the Los Angeles Rams.

Matthew Stafford Hard To Trust Against Bears
Nov. 20, 2018
.Detroit Lions quarterback Matthew Stafford threw for just 220 yards and one touchdown in last week's victory over the Panthers. He now has a short week to prepare to face the the Bears for the second time in three weeks. In the first matchup, Stafford threw for two touchdowns in garbage time, which saved his day that included two interceptions. This Thursday, he could be without top wide receiver Marvin Jones (knee) again, as well as rookie running back Kerryon Johnson (knee). This puts added pressure on the 30-year-old signal caller to make things happen. That's not a favorable outlook against a defense of the Bears caliber. Stafford can serve as a QB2 this week, but there are better streaming options as you hunt for the playoffs.
Matthew Stafford Leads Detroit To Victory Over Panthers
Nov. 18, 2018
.Detroit Lions quarterback Matthew Stafford finished 23 of 37 for 220 yards and a touchdown in Sunday's 20-19 victory over the Carolina Panthers. It was an impressive day for the Lions offense, considering that Marvin Jones (knee) was inactive. As expected, Stafford looked at Kenny Golladay heavily on Sunday and it climaxed when the two connected for a 19-yard TD pass in the third quarter, which would wind up being the game-winning touchdown. This is great momentum for Stafford and the Lions as they host the Bears on Thanksgiving Day.

Matthew Stafford Has Some Upside Against The Panthers
Nov. 14, 2018
.Detroit Lions quarterback Matthew Stafford has a decent matchup at home with the Carolina Panthers this Sunday. Stafford saved his Week 10 stat line with two garbage-time touchdowns against the Bears; however, he did toss two interceptions. The Panthers are in damage control after getting torched by Ben Roethlisberger for 5 touchdowns last Thursday. With the Lions back home after two straight road games, Stafford will be looking to get back to winning ways. Since Golden Tate was traded, Kenny Golladay has been up-and-down, while Marvin Jones injured his knee last Sunday and did not practice Wednesday. Pay attention to his designation for the game, but if he plays look at Stafford as a QB2 against the Panthers.

Matthew Stafford Saves Fantasy Day In Garbage Time
Nov. 11, 2018
.Detroit Lions quarterback Matthew Stafford finished 25 of 42 for 274 yards with two touchdowns and two interceptions in Sunday's 34-22 loss to the Bears. The Lions got behind 26-7 in the first half, meaning they were forced to pass exclusively in the second half of yet another game. This garbage-time production was able to save Stafford's stat line as both of his touchdown's came in the fourth quarter. It was another week that Stafford was under duress the entire game, being sacked six times. Luckily, next week, Detroit gets to face a Carolina defense that was exposed by the Steelers on Thursday. The Lions will have to protect Stafford better if they want to have a chance at their fourth victory in Week 11.
Matthew Stafford Should Be On Benches In Week 10
Nov. 7, 2018
.Detroit Lions quarterback Matthew Stafford is coming off a pedestrian Week 9 performance against the Vikings when he passed for just 199 yards and no touchdowns or interceptions. However, he was sacked a career-high 10 times in the loss, and it seems to be a low point of the season for the 30-year-old signal caller who is without his safety net, Golden Tate. More of the same can be expected against a stout Chicago Bears defense this week. The Bears rank top 10 in the league in sacks with 24 and second in the league with 14 interceptions. That's not good news for Stafford coming off a rough performance. Keep him on your bench this week and hope things get better.

Matthew Stafford Held Without a Touchdown In Week 9
Nov. 4, 2018
.Detroit Lions quarterback Matthew Stafford finished 25 of 36 for just 199 yards and no touchdowns in the 24-9 loss to the Vikings. Stafford also fumbled in the fourth quarter, with Minnesota recovering and returning it for a touchdown. Stafford was under pressure all day, being sacked 10 times, a career high. Historically the 30-year-old struggles on the road, but the signal caller just couldn't get any help up front and it spelled trouble for the entire offense as the only points scored were three field goals. Things don't get any easier next week as the Lions face the Bears on the road.
Matthew Stafford A Risky Start In Week 9
Oct. 31, 2018
.Detroit Lions quarterback Matthew Stafford has a tough matchup this week on the road at Minnesota. Historically, Stafford isn't great on the road, and the Vikings allow just 17.7 fantasy points per game to opposing quarterbacks. While he just lost his safety net in Golden Tate to a trade, this means he will get to target Marvin Jones and Kenny Golladay more. Both receivers are great talents and have proven their big-play ability this year, so it will be interesting to see how the offense changes without Tate. While there is a good chance that Detroit will be playing from behind, count Stafford as a low-end QB1 this week.

.Detroit Lions quarterback Matthew Stafford finished 27 of 40 for 310 yards and threw for two touchdowns and one interception in a loss to the Seattle Seahawks. Stafford connected with Marvin Jones in the first quarter to put the Lions up 7-0, but they didn't score again until the fourth quarter. The Lions got behind in the second and were forced to throw the ball but that didn't lead to production for the signal caller. Things don't get any easier next week when the Lions travel to take on the Minnesota Vikings.
Matthew Stafford Draws Tough Matchup In Week 8
Oct. 24, 2018
.Detroit Lions quarterback Matthew Stafford faces off against the Seahawks at home this Sunday. Stafford performs better at home but Seattle allows the fewest fantasy points to quarterbacks. The Seahawks are one of two defenses in the league that have recorded more interceptions than passing touchdowns allowed. While Stafford has been more risk-averse this season, expect a tough day for the 30-year-old. He's not start worthy, except in two QB leagues.
Matthew Stafford Productive Against Dolphins

.Detroit Lions quarterback Matthew Stafford led the Lions to a 32-21 victory over Miami on Sunday. He finished 18 of 22 for 217 yards and two touchdowns. It was a unique afternoon for the Lions passing attack, as the leading pass catcher was tight end Michael Roberts, who was on the receiving end of both passing scores. While Stafford's stat line wasn't all worldly, it was good to see him interception free, on the road, against a solid defense. The Lions return home next Sunday to host the Seahawks.

Matthew Stafford Is A Low-End QB1 in Week 7

.Detroit Lions quarterback Matthew Stafford leaves the bye week and is preparing to face the Dolphins on the road in Week 7. Stafford has been solid but not great thus far; however, he is throwing to one of the best receiving groups in the league. According to Football Outsiders, Miami is ranked fifth against the pass, while also being ranked in the top 10 against wide receivers. Historically, Stafford isn't great on the road but with his weapons and solid offensive line, expect at least a low-end QB1 this week.

Stafford didn't have the biggest day for fantasy purposes, but the early game script didn't require the Lions to pass a lot. The Lions are on bye in Week 6 before traveling to Miami in Week 7.

Matthew Stafford Has Solid Matchup In Week 5
Oct. 3, 2018
.Detroit Lions quarterback Matthew Stafford is top 10 in the league in completions, yards, and touchdowns. He will look to continue to trend upward against Green Bay at home this Sunday. Vegas expects this game to be one of the highest-scoring games of the weekend, so expect the Lions to continue to air the ball out. The signal caller has thrown for at least 260 yards and two touchdowns in each of the last three games. While the numbers don't pop off the page, he has one of the best receiving corps in the league, and they can go off at any given time. The Packer's defense has been inconsistent thus far so it's safe to fire up Stafford as a QB1 in Week 5.
