DET QB Matthew Stafford - Week 3, 2015 Fantasy Football Outlook

Week 3 vs. Denver
In Minnesota last week, Matthew Stafford took another beating and had X-rays on his chest after the loss. He was only sacked once, but threw the ball 53 times, which led to him being bounced around by the Vikings defense. With the Lions playing catchup for most of the contest, Stafford threw for 286 yards and two TDs. He also led the team with 20 rushing yards, as the Lions ground game was non-existent. If Stafford is able to play this week, he'll go up against a Denver D that’s been pretty solid in two games. With Calvin Johnson, the Detroit QB almost always has a chance for a big game, but expect an average outing on Sunday night.

DET QB Matthew Stafford - Week 2, 2015 Fantasy Football Outlook

Week 2 vs. Minnesota
Matthew Stafford and the Lions got off to a hot start in San Diego last Sunday, but the offense slowed down for much of the final two and a half quarters, with the Chargers controlling the clock. Stafford finished with 246 yards, two TDs and two INTs. Surprisingly, the Bolts held Calvin Johnson to only two receptions on four targets, as TE Eric Ebron and RB Ameer Abdullah were Matthew’s top pass catchers in the loss. At practice earlier this week, Stafford had his right elbow wrapped, but claims he'll be "good to go" on Sunday. The Vikes limited him to an average of just 169 yards in two meetings last season, so the Detroit QB falls to the middle of the pack this week as our No. 17 signal caller.

DET QB Matthew Stafford - Week 1, 2015 Fantasy Football Outlook

Week 1 vs. San Diego
Matthew Stafford will have a healthy Calvin Johnson to target to star the season, which definitely makes his stats and the team better. The 27-year-old has thrown for over 4,000 yards and at least 20 TDs in each of the past four seasons. Stafford will be facing a Chargers defense that was pretty solid versus the pass last year, however, allowing the fourth-fewest yards through the air. Stafford is our No. 16 QB for Week 1.

DET QB Matthew Stafford - 2015 Fantasy Football Outlook

Fantasy Upside
Entering his seventh season, Matthew Stafford has thrown for over 4,200 yards in four straight years. Of the past four seasons, he has averaged 41 attempts per game with the fewest passes during that span coming last season when he still averaged 37. Matthew has the best WR in the game to throw to in Calvin Johnson and also built a good rapport with Golden Tate last season. After an injury-plagued first couple of years, Stafford has become durable, not missing a game the past four seasons.

Fantasy Downside
After passing for over 5,000 yards in ’11, Stafford’s total has declined in each of the past three seasons. He only had four 300-yard games last year, and when Johnson misses time, Matthew and the Lions offense tends to struggle. There’s always been a knock on Stafford regarding accuracy, and last year was no exception. Among the top 10 passing QBs of ’14, he had the lowest completion percentage (60.3) while attempting the fifth-most passes (602). Reggie Bush and Joique Bell were both nice weapons in the passing game, but Bush has departed to San Francisco and Bell is battling some offseason injuries.

Bottom Line
Stafford is a top-15 fantasy QB and has the potential to be in the top-10, especially when Megatron is healthy. With improved blocking up front to allow him more time, we could see an increase in deep balls his season. You can pretty much pencil the Detroit QB in for 4,000 passing yards and 20-25 TDs, but in today's NFL those only make for QB2 numbers.

DET QB Matthew Stafford - Week 18, 2014 Fantasy Football Outlook

Wild Card – Matthew Stafford vs. Dallas Cowboys
At Green Bay last week, Matthew Stafford threw for 217 yards and three TDs. He also had his best rushing game of the season, scrambling for 29 yards on four carries. After tossing only one total touchdown in Weeks 15 and 16, fantasy owners had to be pleased with his performance in the regular season finale. Although Matthew has passed for less than 250 yards in three straight, the game at Dallas on Sunday could turn in to a shootout. With Calvin Johnson to throw to, Stafford is a good option; however, he may not be the best choice if you’re looking for a QB to carry you throughout the playoffs.

DET QB Matthew Stafford - Week 17, 2014 Fantasy Football Outlook

Week 17 – Matthew Stafford vs. Green Bay Packers
In the win at Chicago last Sunday, Matthew Stafford didn’t do fantasy owners many favors, finishing 22-of-39 for 243 yards with two INTs and four sacks. He’s thrown for less than 250 yards six times this season, including the past two weeks. Despite his fourth straight 4,000 yard season, Matthew has thrown only 19 TD tosses and 12 picks. Way back in Week 3 against Green Bay, Stafford threw for 246 yards, but was intercepted twice. He makes for a low QB1 play in a game that could see a lot of points.

DET QB Matthew Stafford - Week 16, 2014 Fantasy Football Outlook

Week 16 – Matthew Stafford vs. Chicago Bears
Matthew Stafford led the Lions to another comeback victory last Sunday versus the Vikings but he finished with a season-low 153 passing yards and one TD. Two of three three times he’s thrown for less than 200 yards this season have come against Minnesota. In the past three weeks Matthew has tossed six scores without an INT. A few weeks ago on Thanksgiving, Stafford lit up the Bears for 390 yards and two TDs to Calvin Johnson. He has a great matchup again versus the weak Chicago defense and makes for a solid QB1 start.
