Stafford lost 42.15 expected points to drops, fifth-most in the NFL, behind only Dak Prescott, Lawrence, Jared Goff, and Cam Ward. Eliminate even half those drops, and his numbers look even more dominant.

Stafford's ADP hasn't caught up to QB2 finish; lost 42.15 expected points to drops.

Stafford lost 42.15 expected points to drops last season, fifth-most in the NFL behind only Dak Prescott, Lawrence, Jared Goff, and Cam Ward. Eliminating even half those drops would make his numbers look even more dominant. His ADP at QB13 (eighth-round price) hasn't caught up to his QB2 finish. Harris advises: if waiting at quarterback, don't chase unproven upside -- chase discounted elite production, and Stafford is exactly that.
