Stafford's QB2 ADP undervalues his ceiling; 2025 elite production with Adams and Nacua.

Matthew StaffordQBLAR

Matthew Stafford is being drafted as a QB2, which undervalues his ceiling and consistency. Coming off a phenomenal 2025 season, he continues to play at a high level despite career injuries. Having Davante Adams and Puka Nacua has elevated his fantasy value, and the Rams are built to make one more run with Stafford under center after signing him to a one-year, $55 million contract and trading for Myles Garrett, entering 2026 as a Super Bowl favorite. Stafford finished QB3 last season with 358.3 points, QB19 in 2024 with 222.6 points, and QB15 in 2023 with 254.3 points. His 2025 MVP campaign showed he can produce elite numbers when surrounded by strong weapons and stable offensive structure. Sean McVay will continue to put Stafford in favorable situations, and he should outperform his average draft position this year.
