Matthew Stafford was abysmal in Week 1. I'm sorry, but there's no other way to state it.

STACKED’s take

Positive signalProjection

Stafford's disastrous Week 1 and lack of rushing equity warrant benching.

Stafford was abysmal in Week 1, finishing QB32 in fantasy. Among 30 qualifying passers, he had the tenth-fewest yards per attempt, fifth-lowest passing success rate, fifth-lowest highly accurate throw rate, and sixth-lowest catchable target rate. He faced the eighth-highest pressure rate in Week 1, but the source states that's no excuse. The source needs to see Stafford bounce back before plugging him back into a fantasy lineup and notes he has zero rushing equity to save his fantasy day. In Week 2, he faces the Giants' defense, which allowed the third-fewest yards per attempt and ninth-lowest passer rating while ranking 17th in passing success rate.
