Matthew Stafford is still excellent, but the Rams may not need another MVP-level passing season from him. Their defensive front now ranks first in PFF's 2026 unit rankings after adding Myles Garrett, which could create more controlled game scripts and fewer weeks where Stafford must carry the team through volume.

STACKED’s take

Negative signalProjection

Stafford's volume may decline with elite Rams defense; QB13 price too high in deep QB class.

The source notes that while Matthew Stafford at ADP 106.3 (QB13) is still excellent, the Rams may not need another MVP-level passing season from him. Their defensive front now ranks first in PFF's 2026 unit rankings after adding Myles Garrett, which could create more controlled game scripts and fewer weeks where Stafford must carry the team through volume. The quarterback position is also deep enough that Stafford's ADP may not return value.
