Selected as the starting quarterback in the mock draft. If Stafford returns to his previous season's performance level, he could produce mid-round value when streamed alongside a backup option like Kyler Murray. The source acknowledges the late-first-round pick forced a late-round quarterback selection, but views Stafford as capable of delivering acceptable production if he rebounds.NegativeProjectionNo date
Stafford finished fourth in adjusted points per game last season with 4,700 passing yards, 46 touchdowns, and only six interceptions despite having just one rushing yard all season (0.1 fantasy points in rushing). The Rams are projected as the #1 scoring team in the NFL by half a point per game. If Puka Nacua and Davante Adams both stay healthy, Stafford will have another great season. The main downside is the Rams' elite defense may lead to blowouts and fewer second-half passing opportunities, but the projected touchdown volume should offset this concern. Part of an awesome tier three range (Nix, Stafford, Purdy, Goff, Kyler, Mahomes, Baker) where all players have upside; the source recommends attacking any of these tier three QBs if they fall well past ADP.
