From the article

Stafford is a 38-year-old pocket passer who defied the odds last season, finishing as the QB5 in FPPG on the back of 4,707 passing yards and 46 touchdowns. That touchdown total was more than he had accumulated the two previous seasons combined when he was the QB20 and QB28, respectively. Stafford has only thrown more than 32 TDs twice in his career and it's a risky game to expect elite totals from older passers year after year.

Stafford's 46 TDs are career-high outlier; risky to expect elite production at age 38.
