From the article

Stafford's fantasy dud in Week 4 was mostly due to a tough matchup and Kyren Williams scoring both offensive touchdowns on the ground. Stafford has also faced a tough Broncos defense and threw for 390 yards and two scores, and he hung 327 yards and four scores on the Giants in a game that was basically over once Jaxson Dart with an injury in the first half. With the easier part of the schedule vs. the pass coming up, Stafford's ceiling is much higher than his current ranking indicates.

Stafford's Week 4 dud was matchup-driven; easier schedule ahead supports ceiling higher than current rank

Stafford's Week 4 fantasy dud was mostly due to a tough matchup and Kyren Williams scoring both offensive touchdowns on the ground, not poor performance. Stafford has previously faced tough defenses—throwing for 390 yards and two scores against the Broncos and 327 yards and four scores against the Giants (a game essentially decided by Jaxson Dart's first-half injury). With an easier schedule ahead against pass-friendly defenses, Stafford's ceiling is much higher than his current ranking indicates, making him a perfect target for win-now dynasty teams.
