STACKED’s take

Stafford safe streamer; Commanders allow 2.1 passing TDs per game.

Stafford is a safe Week 9 start at QB for the Rams against Washington and should finish inside the top 12 at the position. While regression has hit Stafford heavily this season—his passing offense ranks 15th in offensive EPA per dropback, yards per attempt dropped from 7.9 to 7.1, and his touchdown rate fell from 7.7% to 5% with 15 touchdowns through eight games—Washington is the perfect matchup. The Commanders allow three touchdowns per game (only seven teams allow more), with 2.1 coming through the passing game (only five teams allow more). Stafford completes 71.5% of his passes against two-high safety looks, the third-highest in the league, and Washington faces the third-highest rate of two-high safety looks.
