Stafford's QB12, 17.8-point Footballguys projection isn't far off the mark, but I'm expecting a little more, like a top-10 finish.

STACKED’s take

Positive signalProjection

Stafford's QB12 projection undervalues his upside with Nacua returning against weak Eagles pass defense.

Stafford's QB12 projection of 17.8 points is conservative given his recent performance and matchup. Over the last two weeks, he scored 27 points against the Giants and 20.9 in Denver, combining for 717 passing yards, six touchdowns, and three interceptions. The Eagles secondary has blown coverages and given too much cushion to opposing receivers, with a pass rush recording just three sacks in three games (tied for 29th in the NFL). With Puka Nacua on track to return, expecting Stafford to land multiple scoring strikes and finish inside the top 10 is reasonable.
