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 number #18 ranked QB. 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. His production dropped throughout the season. In his first 5 games he averaged 21.2 FPs and that declined to 10.6 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: 4006 Yards, 25 TDs, 13 INTs, 65 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 #23 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 Getting older predictably resulted in a drop in production. His average fantasy points decreased by 23% this season. 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 His FanDuel average was 13.8 points and on DraftKings it was 14.4 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. He had a relatively high ceiling. On DraftKings it was 23.8 and on FanDuel it was 20.8 FPs. 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.
