Matthew StaffordQB
Matthew Stafford exemplifies the unpredictable pocket passer archetype and serves as a cautionary tale on TD rate regression. He had a touchdown rate over 7% last season that will regress; JJ Zachariason expects him to finish QB8-12 in home leagues and advises against drafting him at his current ADP due to regression risk. Stafford last year delivered an outlier TD rate that was relatively unpredictable, and similar random pocket passers will likely emerge this season (1-2 expected) but are harder to identify in advance. The market has become sharper on this fade than it was five years ago.
