Quarterback Matthew Stafford was looking for more security on his current contract.
Future Hall of Famer Matthew Stafford was seeking more guaranteed money on his existing contract, which he signed after winning the 2022 Super Bowl for the Los Angeles Rams. Since then, multiple quarterbacks have been signed to deals that soar past Stafford’s $40 million per year average. Despite some injury issues in the two seasons since, Stafford play level is still top ten. The Rams and Stafford agreed to an additional $5 million for the 2024 season and an additional $4 million guaranteed roster bonus for 2025. Stafford is not going anywhere for the near future.
Matthew Stafford has been a very reliable quarterback in fantasy since teaming up with Sean McVay. He still has the cannon arm and supernatural no-look passes in his arsenal, being a cerebral point guard of the entire offense. Despite missing two games last season and emphasis on running the ball more, Stafford still finished as QB15 on the season. Stafford’s ADP is currently QB19, which is an absolute steal in all formats.

The veteran Quarterback for the Rams is looking for more guaranteed money and a raise.
Stafford has delivered on the Rams wishes from him, winning them a Super Bowl and providing consistent Quarterback play that allows Sean McVay’s offense to thrive. The veteran signal caller is looking to get more guaranteed money in the future remaining years from his contract, as well as a pay bump amidst the lavish QB extensions being handed out this offseason.
Stafford is a major value in every Fantasy format right now. His desire for more guaranteed money in future years indicate a likelihood he’ll be a valuable asset in Dynasty leagues for multiple years. In best ball formats, Puka Nacua and Cooper Kupp are both regularly going within the top 35 picks, which makes Stafford’s ADP of 151 feel underpriced.
Matthew Stafford is a full go for Week 11 against the Seahawks.
Matthew Stafford suffered a sprained UCL in his right thumb during Week 8, which caused him to miss Week 9. However, he had ample time to rest as the team had a bye week during Week 10. Stafford has now been cleared to play against the Seahawks at home in Week 11.
In Week 1, Stafford had an impressive game against the Seahawks, throwing for 334 yards and completing 24 out of 38 passes, but he failed to score any touchdowns. The return of Cooper Kupp from injury and the addition of Puka Nacua to the team’s underrated offense further strengthens Stafford’s position as a QB2 with QB1 potential for this week’s game.
