Fantasy Football Happy Hour with Matthew Berry on Matthew Stafford

PodcastPreseason Love/Hate (QBs + RBs)August 27, 2026

From the episode

I think massive regression is coming here. I just don't see that happening, especially when you think about the fact that the Rams are going to have one of, if not the best defense in the NFL.

STACKED’s take

Negative signalBust

Stafford is a bust candidate due to expected touchdown regression.

Matthew Berry warns of massive regression for Matthew Stafford, who is currently being drafted as QB12. Stafford had an outlier season last year with 11 touchdowns of two yards or less, and Berry expects the Rams' strong defense to lead to more rushing in the second half, limiting Stafford's passing volume.
