After finishing last year as the QB1, many will call me disrespectful for having Stafford ranked as the QB15. However, the veteran wasn't the most consistent player, finishing as a top-eight quarterback in only half of the games during the fantasy season. Furthermore, his 46 passing touchdowns were a career high, accounting for 62.4% of his fantasy production. I expect Stafford to have meaningful touchdown regression, which is why he is ranked outside my top-12 quarterbacks.

Stafford's QB1 finish was TD-dependent (62.4%); regression expected to QB15.
