Matthew Stafford

Rams coach Sean McVay said resting starters in Week 18 is “probably the direction that we’ll go.”

He explicitly mentioned Jimmy Garoppolo and Blake Corum as players he’s hoping to see get more playing time. Matthew Stafford-reliant managers can rejoice and move on after his three consecutive duds to end the season. The Rams have nothing to play for but pride and the difference between the No. 3 and No. 4 seeds against the Seahawks. (The Falcons can only be the No. 4 seed, while a Buccaneers win and Rams loss would give Tampa the No. 3 seed.)
