Stafford completed 40 of 54 pass attempts for 383 yards and 3 TDs without an INT, good for his third QB1 finish in four weeks. He achieved it while feeding his top WR Puka Nacua a historic 24 targets in the Rams overtime loss to the Bills on Monday Night Football. Stafford became the first QB to throw for at least 380 passing yards in two separate weeks this season.
2026 Fantasy Football Impact: QB1 run built on volume
Stafford and the Rams continue to deploy a high-volume passing offense, attempting over 50 passes for the third consecutive week. Stafford leads all QBs with 43.3 pass attempts per game while the Rams rank fourth in neutral pass rate at 63.8%.
It's reflected in his production, as he ranks as a QB1 with 19.0 PPR points per game despite producing fewer than 0.5 rushing points per game.
It’s also helping mask some passing inefficiency, as Stafford’s 6.9 adjusted yards per attempt ranks 19th among QBs and is a sizable drop from his 8.8 mark, which topped all but one QB last season.
Stafford is in a favorable spot to continue his stretch of QB1 success and improve his passing efficiency, with both his top WRs Nacua and Davante Adams healthy headed into a Week 6 matchup against a Cardinals defense allowing the third-most points to QBs.
