Matthew Stafford's Fantasy Scouting Report
2018 FANTASY RECAP AND 2019 FANTASY PROJECTION Matthew Stafford had a good fantasy season and was a 'second tier' fantasy star. He was the #22 ranked fantasy player this season. Even though he missed a few games, he played enough to make his overall fantasy rank better than what it is based on average fantasy points where he is the #31 QB. He peaked early in the season. He averaged 21.2 FPs in his first 5 games and 10.6 FP in his final 6 games. His standard deviation divided by his average is 0.49 which is close to the league ratio. He averaged 15.9 FPs, but on any given day his projected ceiling is as high as 31 fantasy points with a floor of 5 points. Matthew Stafford (2019 Season Projection: 3963 Yards, 23 TDs, 13 INTs, 101 Rushyd) is projected to take a slight step downward in the upcoming fantasy season. His rank based on total projected fantasy points has him as the #26 player at his position. SportsLine has the best NFL picks and Daily Fantasy Lineups. In the off-season check out our coverage of all major leagues (MLB, NBA, NHL, Horses, NASCAR, and Golf). STATISTICAL DROPOFF FROM PREVIOUS SEASON Stafford is getting older which might explain his drop-off in production. His fantasy average dropped by 23 percent. PAST FANTASY PERFORMANCE (2017 TO 2018) He was the #18 ranked fantasy QB based on total fantasy points. He averaged 15.9 FP per game (#30 ranked based on average). He is trending down based on lower per game fantasy ranking from 2017 to 2018. He is relatively stronger (stats bolded below) than weaker in more categories. DAILY FANTASY SEASON RECAP He averaged 13.8 FD points and 14.4 DK points per game. We used his second highest game as his ceiling and second lowest as his floor. On DraftKings his floor was 4.6 and on FanDuel it was 4.6 fantasy points. When he was good, he was very good with a DraftKings ceiling of 23.8 and 20.8 on FanDuel. He has had more good FanDuel games (exceed average by 20%) than bad games (20% below average), and the same was true on DraftKings. We are only including games where they were in the daily fantasy slate and played.
