Los Angeles Rams QB Matthew Stafford said he is looking to play beyond the 2026 season but will take things on a year-to-year basis.
Huddle Up: Stafford is coming off an outstanding 2025 season and will be the starting quarterback for the Rams as long as he decides to play. He has one of the top receiver duos to work with in the NFL and can be a low-end No. 1 or high-end No. 2 quarterback in fantasy leagues.

ESPN's Adam Schefter commented on the new deal that Los Angeles Rams QB Matthew Stafford signed on Thursday, May 21, saying, "I think with a deal like this it shows that he's probably planning on playing a couple more years."
Huddle Up: If this is a sign that Stafford is going to play a few more years, he could be worth pursuing in dynasty leagues as a result. Coming off the best year of his career, Stafford is a bona fide QB1 for the 2026 season and beyond until he proves otherwise.

Los Angeles Rams QB Matthew Stafford has reached an agreement on a one-year, $55 million extension worth up to $60 million with incentives, according to ESPN sources.
Huddle Up: Fresh off of winning MVP honors, Stafford is now under contract with the Rams for two more seasons. While he might not be able to repeat the numbers from his MVP campaign, he should remain a QB1 as long as he stays healthy.

Los Angeles Rams QB Matthew Stafford has made significant progress in contract extension talks with the Rams, according to sources.
Huddle Up: It is not known how long Stafford will play, but a new contract could indicate more than one more season. He is coming off a productive 2026 season and can be considered a low-end No. 1 or a high-end No. 2 quarterback in fantasy leagues.

Los Angeles Rams QB Matthew Stafford (shoulder) is likely to see a modified approach with the number of throws he takes leading up to the regular season, as they look to preserve the veteran.
Huddle Up: Stafford missed most of the offseason and training camp in 2025, but he responded favorably when the games got underway. He was a fantasy stud, throwing for 4,706 yards, 46 TDs and just eight INTs. As such, it wouldn't be shocking to see a similar approach by the team's coaching staff, keeping the oft-injured Stafford fresh for the season. He should once again be a top-tier fantasy quarterback, but due to his propensity for injury, have alternatives on hand.

Los Angeles Rams QB Matthew Stafford has had "good dialogue" with the team on his contract, according to head coach Sean McVay.
Huddle Up: Stafford has one year left with a $16 million base salary and a $48,266,668 salary cap number. The 2025 NFL MVP was second among QBs in fantasy points last season, which will raise his draft stock and increase the amount of risk in taking the 38-year-old so high as a high-end QB1.

Los Angeles Rams QB Matthew Stafford will likely engage in negotiations for a raise on the heels of his 2025 Most Valuable Player campaign, according to NFL Network's Ian Rapoport.
Huddle Up: The 38-year-old Stafford led the league in passing yards (4,707) and passing touchdowns (46) in 2025, narrowly edging out New England Patriots QB Drake Maye for MVP honors. Even if he doesn't duplicate those numbers next season, he will continue to have a strong supporting cast surrounding him in 2026 and can be viewed as a QB1 option in all fantasy numbers.

Los Angeles Rams QB Matthew Stafford was named the 2025 NFL Most Valuable Player by the Associated Press, and while accepting the award, he announced that he plans to return for the 2026 season.
Huddle Up: Stafford edged out Drake Maye for MVP honors after leading the league in both passing yards (4,707) and passing touchdowns (46). While he might not be able to replicate those lofty numbers next season, Stafford will still have a strong supporting cast and figures to be in the QB1 mix in 2026.

Los Angeles Rams QB Matthew Stafford (back) will not need to undergo surgery this offseason to repair a herniated disc in his back, according to head coach Sean McVay.
Huddle Up: Stafford entered the season with a back injury but was able to play and was one of the best quarterbacks in the NFL. He is expected to play again next season and can be a low-end No. 1 quarterback in most fantasy leagues.
