From the video
QB14, I'm going Matthew Stafford against the Commanders, guys. The reigning MVP hasn't been bad. All right, he had 317 or more passing yard errors in four straight games in weeks two through five and three passing touchdowns from week seven. That said, we actually have only seen Stafford complete one pass thrown 20 plus yards downfield since week four... 7.3 yard average targets that this year. He was at nine last season... highest of any quarterback not named Marcus Mariota.
STACKED’s take
QB14 vs. Commanders; downfield volume collapsed to 7.3 aDOT from 9.0 last year.
Ian Hartitz ranks Stafford QB14 against the Commanders. The reigning MVP posted 317+ passing yards in four straight games (weeks 2–5) and three passing touchdowns from week 7 onward, but has completed only one pass of 20+ yards downfield since week 4 (excluding a wheel route to Kyren Williams). Without Devonte Adams, the Rams' efficient rushing attack (Kyren Williams and Blake Corum both rushing efficiently) has reduced Stafford's workload; his 7.3 yard average target depth this season is down from 9.0 last season—the highest decline of any QB not named Marcus Mariota. Expected passing touchdown rate has declined accordingly, and Washington ranks 25th in EPA per play, limiting boom potential despite the matchup.
