Stafford's best two seasons have featured 35 pass attempts per game, achieved in his first year with the Rams and last season. This volume is 2.7 attempts below Joe Burrow's league-leading 37.7 over the last four seasons, supporting the source's volume-based argument for Jamar Chase over Puka Nacua. The source also expects Stafford's touchdown rate to regress this season, which would narrow the red zone target gap between Adams and Puka and reduce Adams' end zone involvement.NegativeProjectionJul 30, 2026
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.NegativeProjectionJul 16, 2026
