Stafford completed 22 of 35 pass attempts for 374 yards and three touchdowns while adding two carries for 16 yards in Sunday's 31-27 loss to the Seahawks in the NFC Championship Game.

EDGE Analysis

The veteran gunslinger walked into a harsh road environment against the league's stingiest defense in 2025 (17.2 points allowed/game) and twirled a statistical gem despite failing one game short of a Super Bowl appearance. The loss brings Stafford's MVP-caliber campaign to a close, and he finished three postseason contests averaging 312.0 passing yards with six total passing touchdowns to one interception. Stafford was one of the top producers in fantasy this year, as he amassed 4,707 passing yards and a career-high 46 touchdowns in 17 starts during the regular season. The 38-year-old blew past his draft value after a preseason back injury quelled expectations to start his 16th season in the pros. Stafford will likely run it back with the Rams in 2026 for the final year of his current deal with both of his superstar wide receivers (Puka Nacua and Davante Adams) in tow, so he should be a popular pick in fantasy drafts next year.

Stafford completed 20 of 42 pass attempts for 258 yards with no touchdowns or interceptions while losing one yard on a kneel-down in Sunday's 20-17 overtime playoff win against Chicago.

EDGE Analysis

Stafford overcame blistery conditions at Soldier Field and threw for over 250 yards for the seventh straight game while navigating his club to an overtime win over the Bears. The 37-year-old coughed up the ball in the snow twice, but neither fumble resulted in a turnover for Los Angeles. Stafford was held without a touchdown for the first time in 19 starts this season, but the MVP candidate played like one in clutch moments while letting the ground game and defense cook Sunday. The Rams will shift their focus to the Seahawks for the NFC Championship Game next Sunday, with the two clubs splitting their regular-season series in 2025. Stafford threw for 587 yards and five touchdowns in those two games, which softens the prospects of having to face Seattle's dominant defense on the road.

Stafford (right finger) was a full participant at Wednesday's walkthrough, Adam Grosbard of The Orange County Register reports.

EDGE Analysis

Stafford banged his right hand on a follow-through in the second quarter of this past Saturday's wild-card win at Carolina, and while his accuracy and touch dipped afterward, he still played all 76 offensive snaps, completing 24 of 42 passes for 304 yards, three touchdowns and one interception, rushing twice for no yards and taking only one sack. On Monday, coach Sean McVay revealed to Sarah Barshop of ESPN.com that Stafford was diagnosed with a sprained index finger, but he also wasn't concerned about the quarterback's status for Sunday's divisional-round game in Chicago. Stafford himself expressed a similar sentiment Wednesday, telling Adam Grosbard of The Orange County Register that he feels "great" and doesn't expect to wear any protection on his right hand. With a full listing to kick off the week, Stafford is good to go ahead of the weekend.

Rams head coach Sean McVay said Monday that Stafford is managing a sprain on the index finger of his throwing hand, but there are no concerns about his status for Sunday's divisional-round matchup against the Bears, Sarah Barshop of ESPN.com reports.

EDGE Analysis

Stafford didn't end up missing any snaps after injuring his right index finger during Saturday's 34-31 wild-card win over the Panthers, in which he completed 24 of 42 passes for 304 yards, three touchdowns and one interception. McVay has already confirmed that the 2025 first-team All-Pro quarterback will be good to go for a road matchup against Chicago, but Stafford's practice reps could be capped this week.

Stafford suffered an injury to a finger on his throwing hand during Saturday's 34-31 wild-card win over the Panthers, but he's believed to have avoided a dislocation after X-rays returned negative, Ian Rapoport of NFL Network reports.

EDGE Analysis

Stafford appeared to jam his finger in the first half of Saturday's contest, and though he didn't end up missing any snaps, the injury may have affected the accuracy and velocity of his throws early on in the second half. The newly minted first-team All-Pro selection didn't seem to be compromised in the fourth quarter, however, as he tossed a pair of go-ahead touchdowns in the final 15 minutes to help the Rams seal the win. Stafford could require further treatment for the finger during the upcoming week, but he doesn't appear to be at any real risk of missing the Rams' divisional-round matchup next weekend against a yet-to-be-determined opponent.

Stafford completed 24 of 42 passes for 304 yards, three touchdowns and one interception in Saturday's 34-31 wild-card round win over the Panthers.

EDGE Analysis

Stafford played well to start the game and led a pair of touchdown drives in the Rams' first three possessions. His first was a 14-yard strike to Puka Nacua, and the second also went to Nacua, though Stafford wasn't credited with a touchdown, as his pass was ultimately ruled a lateral. Late in the second quarter, he hit his hand on a defender with a follow-through, which seemed to affect his accuracy and power on throws early in the second half. However, Stafford led two touchdown drives in the final eight minutes of the fourth quarter, which he capped with passing scores of 13 and 19 yards. While there was some inconsistency during the game, Stafford ultimately delivered and avoided Carolina's upset bid to advance the Rams to the divisional round.

Stafford completed 25 of 40 pass attempts for 259 yards and four touchdowns while taking one carry for three yards in Sunday's 37-20 win over Arizona.

EDGE Analysis

Stafford bounced back nicely from a three-interception dud in Week 17, but it wasn't all smooth sailing during a sluggish first half against the fledgling Cardinals. The MVP candidate looked the part coming out of halftime when he conducted scoring drives on three consecutive possessions to put the game out of reach. The 37-year-old will finish the 2025 regular season leading the league in both passing yards (4,743) and touchdown passes (48) while earning the Rams the NFC's No. 5 seed heading into the playoffs. Stafford's incredible regular-season accomplishments should make him one of the top DFS options available in the wild-card round when the Rams visit the 8-9 Panthers.

Rams head coach Sean McVay said Friday that he will play his starters, including Stafford, during Sunday's regular-season finale against the Cardinals, Sarah Barshop of ESPN.com reports.

EDGE Analysis

Los Angeles' postseason position may already be locked into place by the time Sunday's matchup against Arizona kicks off, as the team will be guaranteed the No. 6 seed on the NFC side of the playoffs if the 49ers emerge victorious over the Seahawks on Saturday night. Should Seattle win that contest, however, the Rams would have a chance to earn the No. 5 seed by defeating the Cardinals. That said, and though McVay has confirmed that the Rams' starters will play in either scenario, it's entirely plausible that Stafford and other key veterans won't be tasked with playing a full assortment of snaps Week 18, especially if the outcome of Sunday's game doesn't have any impact on playoff seeding.

Stafford completed 22 of 38 pass attempts for 269 yards, two touchdowns and three interceptions in Monday's 27-24 loss to the Falcons.

EDGE Analysis

Stafford's red-hot play came to a screeching halt with a trio of interceptions thrown (one pick-six) in a surprising loss to the now 7-9 Falcons on Monday Night Football in Week 17. The 37-year-old was bailed out from committing a fourth turnover in the fourth quarter when an offsides penalty committed by an uninvolved defender erased a strip fumble recovery for Atlanta. Stafford showed his resiliency by overcoming his personal follies and nearly mounting a comeback from a 21-0 deficit at halftime. The MVP candidate certainly hurt his bid by having his worst game of the season in front of a national audience, but he will get an opportunity to redeem himself against the Cardinals on Sunday. Head coach Sean McVay stated after the loss that he plans on playing Stafford and the rest of his healthy starters in Week 18, according to Stu Jackson of the team's official site.

Stafford completed 29 of 49 passes for 457 yards with three touchdowns and no interceptions in the Rams' 38-37 overtime loss to the Seahawks on Thursday night. He also rushed twice for six yards.

EDGE Analysis

Stafford's outstanding numbers, which included a season-high passing yardage total, ultimately went for naught from a real-world football perspective, but the veteran signal-caller certainly delivered handsomely for fantasy managers rolling with him in their playoff games. With Davante Adams (knee/hamstring) sidelined, Stafford unsurprisingly focused even more attention than usual on Puka Nacua, who he'd end up connecting with on 12 occasions for 225 yards and two touchdowns from one yard (fourth quarter) and 41 yards (overtime) out. Stafford also hit rookie tight end Terrance Ferguson from three yards out with under four minutes remaining in the first half for his third three touchdown-pass tally over the last five games, and he'll next take aim at the Falcons in a Week 17 road matchup on Monday night, Dec. 29.
