Matthew Stafford faces the Buffalo Bills in Los Angeles on Monday night in Week 5. Known for their leaky defense, the Bills have allowed an average of 274 passing yards and 2.5 touchdowns per game to quarterbacks so far this season. The return of receiver Puka Nacua should bolster Stafford's performance, making him a recommended start for fantasy players. Stafford currently ranks as a top quarterback option, despite recent interception troubles.
