Stafford's Week 1 return anchors the Rams' aerial attack with Davante Adams and Puka Nacua and a scheme that tests Houston's defense at SoFi. The Texans counter with a stout pass rush and a cohesive secondary, making this a true Week 1 test for LA's offense.

Stafford's health will shape the ceiling for Adams and Nacua; if he goes, they carry high floors. If not, Garoppolo would front LA's attack, shifting the targets and volatility. The opener sets early fantasy tone as Caserio and Ryans prepare for McVay's offensive chess work in Los Angeles.
