From the episode

I'm a couple spots behind on Matthew Stafford. It's more that he's an immobile quarterback going up against a defense that can send Abdul Carter, Brian Burns, Kayvon Thibodeau, rookie Arvel Reese after him.

STACKED’s take

Negative signalProjection

Stafford is a fade due to a tough matchup and lack of mobility

Fitz ranks Matthew Stafford lower than consensus, noting he is an immobile quarterback facing a strong pass rush (Carter, Burns, Thibodeau, Reese) and is unlikely to have a high-yardage passing day.
