Latest

Matthew Stafford’s current injury designation is shown in the live status box above, which updates automatically from the official NFL injury report. The reigning MVP missed most of 2025 training camp with an aggravated disc in his back but still played all 17 games that season.

After a flat Week 1 opener against San Francisco (15 of 25 for 155 yards), he threw for 327 yards and four touchdowns in the Week 2 win over the Giants without Puka Nacua, per FantasyPros. Nacua returned from a two-game hip and groin absence in Week 4.

Fantasy Action: Stafford is a QB1 whose ceiling rises with Nacua healthy, and he has shown he can still produce when Nacua sits; Davante Adams is on injured reserve, so Nacua is his clear top target for Week 9 at Washington.
