Despite last year's QB2 finish, Stafford's QB12 ADP and seventh-round price are well off that. So is his QB14 Footballguys projection. Even a step back from last year's QB2 finish would still make Stafford a bargain at his current cost. I currently rank Stafford as my QB10.

STACKED’s take

Positive signalValue

Stafford at QB12 ADP offers value; even regression from QB2 would be a bargain.

Despite finishing QB2 in 2025, Stafford is priced as QB12 ADP in the seventh round and ranked QB14 on Footballguys projections, well below his finish. Underrated Quarterbacks ranks him QB10. He has limited rushing equity (65 or fewer rushing yards in five straight seasons, one rushing TD since 2017), but elite outcomes remain possible. With Puka Nacua and Davante Adams as dominant receivers, a strong offensive line, an effective rushing attack, and Sean McVay as one of the league's most innovative and aggressive playcallers, Stafford has everything needed for another high-end season. Even a step back from QB2 would make him a bargain at current cost.
