Fantasy Football Diehards Line:
ESPN insider Adam Schefter just reported the same on Monday Night Countdown, adding that Stafford will visit Dr. James Andrews for a second opinion this week. ... As PFT's Mike Florio notes, typically, an injury of that magnitude doesn't require surgery. If surgery had been required, Stafford possibly could have been out for the year. Schwartz said there's no timetable on the second-year quarterback's return. But the latest speculation runs anywhere from 2 to 8 weeks.
