Matthew Stafford Fantasy

The Los Angeles Rams and quarterback Matthew Stafford finalized a four-year, $160 million contract extension that includes $135 million guaranteed that should allow him to finish his career in Los Angeles, according to sources. Stafford will cash in after winning the Super Bowl in his first season in Los Angeles. He threw for 4,886 yards, 41 touchdowns and 17 interceptions in 17 regular season games in 2021 in his first year with the Rams. The 34-year-old developed excellent chemistry with receiver Cooper Kupp last season and will also have Allen Robinson II to throw to next season. Stafford will be a solid fallback option as a QB1 after the elite names come off the board in fantasy drafts.

The Los Angeles Rams have made signing quarterback Matthew Stafford to a contract extension a priority, and one league source said Stafford's deal could go as high as $45 million per season. However, the Rams will try to keep the annual number closer to $35 million per year for a deal in the three- to four-year window. Head coach Sean McVay seems committed to Stafford while he's on the roster, so any Stafford extension could hint at McVay's own timeline for remaining with the team. Despite Stafford being a priority, The Athletic's Jourdan Rodrigue isn't getting an overwhelming sense of urgency for the team to rush through the process. In his first season in LA, Stafford threw for 4,886 yards, 41 touchdowns and a league-high 17 interceptions in the regular season before leading the Rams to a Super Bowl title. He'll be a popular QB1 target in 2022 fantasy drafts.

Los Angeles Rams quarterback Matthew Stafford went 26-for-40 for 283 yards, three touchdowns and two interceptions in the 23-20 win over the Cincinnati Rams in Super Bowl LVI on Sunday. Stafford put together an excellent game-winning drive late in the fourth quarter and relied mostly on Super Bowl MVP Cooper Kupp with Odell Beckham Jr. (knee) not returning after suffering an injury in the first half. Stafford finished the regular season with a career-high 4,886 passing yards and a career-high-tying 41 touchdowns, but he also led the league with 17 interceptions. As long as he has Kupp to throw to, he should be in the QB1 mix moving forward, but it will be interesting to see how the Rams offense adjusts if Beckham leaves in free agency.
