5) Joe Burrow vs. Buffalo
This is another tough matchup for an elite QB. The Bills are ranked 1st overall in the league against the pass and #2 in the league against the QB position in fantasy points allowed. Burrow may be getting Tee Higgins back to join Ja’Marr Chase in what should end up being a high-volume passing day for Burrow and the Bengals. While it may look ugly in real life, Burrow should pile up stats that help our fantasy teams.
6) Matthew Stafford vs. Arizona
I was worried about Stafford in last week’s matchup against the Panthers because I felt like there was a chance Kyren Williams would score all of the Rams’ touchdowns in a game that L.A. would control from early on. Well, I was half right. Stafford only managed 13.62 fantasy points in a game that the Rams actually lost. This week, they face a Cardinals defense that has only allowed one 300-yard passer this season. If I gave you ten guesses, would you have guessed that it was Bryce Young who threw for 300+ yards against them? The same concern I had for Stafford last week carries over to this game. The Cardinals usually fall behind early and have to play catch-up every week, so opposing quarterbacks haven’t been racking up the yards. When all things are equal in fantasy, we prefer to start a quarterback who will get us higher volume. That usually means it’s the QB for a losing team. So maybe we should be looking harder at…
