STACKED’s take

Positive signalProjection

Stafford's QB19 Week 1 finish preceded league-leading 21.1 PPG over next 16 games.

Matthew Berry highlights Stafford as the inverse of Fields: Stafford threw only 1 TD pass and scored 13.6 points in Week 1 2025, finishing as QB19, but went on to have only one more game all season with fewer than 2 TD passes; his 45 TD passes over the next 16 games were 12 more than any other QB, and he led the position with 21.1 PPG. The lesson: poor Week 1 performance does not predict season-long decline.
