From the article

Stafford is ranked outside the Top-10 QBs this week and I think that's too low. The Commanders can score behind Jayden Daniels and they also give up points. This game's Vegas total of 50.5 is the second highest on the board and I think it goes over. Washington is tough to run on, but generous in the passing game. They're one of seven teams that has allowed at least 15 TD passes so far this season, and they've given up the third most fantasy points per game (FPPG) to opposing QBs.

STACKED’s take

Positive signalProjection

Stafford's Top-10 ranking is too low; Washington allows third-most FPPG to QBs.

Stafford is ranked outside the Top-10 QBs this week but the source believes that ranking is too low. Washington gives up the third most fantasy points per game to opposing QBs and has allowed at least 15 TD passes this season; the game has a Vegas total of 50.5, the second highest on the board. Stafford is coming off his second worst fantasy output of the season and is expected to rebound. Note: he came out of last week's game with a sore elbow, so monitoring is warranted.
