Matthew Stafford confirmed on the Green Light podcast that he is operating on a year-to-year timeline, though conversations with legendary signal-callers have him open to playing into his 40s. The 38-year-old quarterback is coming off an elite campaign where he averaged 21.1 Fantasy Points Per Game (No. 4) and paced the league with a 122.7 Passing EPX (No. 1).
The offseason addition of Myles Garrett has further inspired Stafford, who commands high-end QB2 status with an undeniable weekly ceiling for an ascendant Los Angeles roster. At 38.3 years of age, Stafford has counterintuitively become a top value in fantasy football dynasty leagues based on the assumption that the 2025 NFL MVP will retire soon.

The Los Angeles Rams are preparing to shift Terrance Ferguson into a prominent role after an incremental rookie season where he parlayed a deep seam-stretching role into 231 yards and three scores. With Colby Parkinson and Tyler Higbee projected to handle more traditional inline duties, team insiders view Ferguson as the primary tight end target earner on the perimeter.
Given that rookie Max Klare faces a slow developmental curve, Ferguson has maximum late-round upside appeal for fantasy managers looking for an ADP exploit in fantasy football best ball formats, as well as dynasty and seasonal leagues.
Long secret meetings between Sean McVay and rookie quarterback Simpson confirm the head coach was fully invested in drafting him 13th overall as the future of the franchise. The Rams intentionally kept their interest quiet, even instructing Simpson to hide their pre-draft interactions to ensure they could secure him as Matthew Stafford’s successor.
If he ever wants to leave coaching, McVay will have a successful career in acting. Meanwhile, the 23-year-old Simpson is viewed as the heir apparent and expected to spend his first two NFL seasons developing on the bench while Stafford remains the starter.
The Los Angeles Rams just made a move to prepare for the future at No. 13 by securing Ty Simpson, a former five-star pedigree weapon who possesses the elite processing and 64.5-percent Completion Percentage needed to orchestrate Sean McVay’s offensive symphony. While his 22.7 Breakout Age (9th-percentile) looks sluggish on paper, it was a pure situational delay behind Bryce Young and Jalen Milroe, and his historic 0.9% Interception Rate proves he is the high-floor, surgical distributor this system craves.
In dynasty formats, Simpson is a player you may have to wait on, but has a massive ceiling, as his 76.0 College QBR and underrated mobility make him a future Superflex cornerstone in one of the most QB-friendly systems in the NFL.
Puka Nacua has checked into a rehab facility following a civil lawsuit alleging he bit a woman and made an antisemitic remark on New Year’s Eve. His attorney cited intense media coverage as a factor in his treatment entry, while Rams coach Sean McVay expressed support for Nacua’s growth and a desire to keep him on the team long-term.
Although Nacua is eligible for a contract extension, negotiations are expected to proceed more slowly than those of his peers as he works through these personal and legal challenges. Nacua’s quick action and self-awareness reinforces the “buy the dip” advice for fantasy football dynasty leagues.
On Monday, Rams HC Sean McVay told reporters that Matthew Stafford will not require surgery this offseason to repair a herniated disk. Interesting news considering the veteran’s back was a major storyline entering the 2025 season. He missed much of training camp, and no one knew how much it would impact his play for the 2025 season. Turns out, it was a non-issue, as Stafford led Los Angeles to the NFC Championship game.
The 37-year-old Stafford was as sharp as ever this past season. He completed 65% of his passes for 4,707 yards and a career-high 46 TD passes against only eight interceptions. Stafford is an MVP candidate for the first time in his career and could take home the award at the 15th annual NFL Honors this Thursday night. Looking ahead, his future remains unclear, as Stafford isn’t under contract for 2026 and hasn’t yet declared if he intends to play.
