Start ‘Em, Sit ‘Em Week 6: Making the Call on Fantasy Football Fringe Starters

The best wide receiver in football is back in Cooper Kupp, skyrocketing Rams quarterback Matthew Stafford’s fantasy appeal.

The future Hall of Famer was already having a strong year, thanks to the contributions of rookie Puka Nacua and third-year man Tutu Atwell, but the return of Kupp was evident in Stafford’s performance against the Eagles in Week 5.

He probably would have had an even better day than his 21-37 for 222 yards and two touchdowns had it not been for strong second-half play from the Philly pass rush.

Against Arizona, he and the Rams passing offense should thrive.

The Cardinals have given up 1257 yards through five games this season, the fifth-worst in the NFL. They are also tied for sixth-worst with eight touchdowns through the air. Opposing quarterbacks are completing 72 percent of their passes and have thrown just four interceptions.

They are also giving up 21.8 fantasy points per game to opposing quarterbacks, per FantasyPros.

Even if he was not having the type of season that he is, Stafford would likely thrive against the Cards’ sieve-like defense.

If the Rams offensive line can block what is a solid pass rush for Arizona, Stafford is a guy with the potential, and weapons, to win you this week’s match-up.
