Matthew Stafford's recent workout, where he threw 68 passes without limitations, is a promising sign for the Los Angeles Rams' 2025 season. Despite being 37 and recovering from an aggravated disc, Stafford's ability to execute deep, intermediate, and short passes suggests he is on track to start in Week 1. His health is crucial for the Rams, especially since they did not bolster their offensive line in the draft, potentially impacting his protection.

For fantasy football, Stafford remains a viable option, projected to rank between 6th and 7th among quarterbacks. However, his age and injury history necessitate caution. Fantasy managers should consider drafting a reliable backup, given the Rams' readiness to pivot to Jimmy Garoppolo if Stafford's condition worsens.
