Loses game and WR on SNF Stafford completed 34 of 49 pass attempts for 317 yards, one touchdown and one interception in Sunday's 26-20 overtime loss to Detroit. Impact Stafford fell short to his former club in a tightly-contested matchup that needed an extra time to complete. Unfortunately for the Rams, the Lions won the coin flip and marched to the end zone without giving Los Angeles' offense a chance to possess the ball in the extra period. Stafford performed well on a personal level despite losing a key member of the offense, Puka Nacua (knee), to an apparent knee injury. The severity of injury to last year's Rookie of the Year is currently unknown, what is clear is the Rams' inability to replace that type of talent on the field in the way the rookie did for Cooper Kupp last year. The latter looked healthy in his first 2024 action, which helps soften the fantasy blow from the loss of Nacua for Stafford ahead of next Sunday's tilt against Arizona.
