Stafford does miss Puka Nacua when his top wideout is shelved... he rarely reaches the upper ends of his outcomes without the services of his No. 1... Stafford... doesn't carry much upside at all without a huge line from Adams.

STACKED’s take

Negative signalProjection

Stafford's production drops without Nacua; limited upside in Showdown without Adams explosion.

Stafford's production dips noticeably without Puka Nacua; over 7 games without Nacua, he averaged 226.3 yards and 15.2 DKPt/Gm compared to his overall 248.4 yards and 17.2 DKPt/Gm across 52 games (2023-26). The source notes he rarely reaches upper-end outcomes without his No. 1 receiver, and with Nacua doubtful, Stafford may spend most of his time handing off against Denver's defense. The source explicitly states Stafford 'doesn't carry much upside at all without a huge line from Adams.'
