Paulsen's Draft Notes

Matthew Stafford (QB - DET)

Stafford is a rock-solid option. He has finished in the top ten in six of the last seven years and has back-to-back finishes in the top seven. In 41 games since Jim Bob Cooter took over the play-calling duties, Stafford has completed 66.3% of his passes for a 7.51 yards per attempt. He has posted a 4.9% touchdown percentage and a 1.6% interception percentage in that span. So his numbers with Cooter are better across the board than the 61.0% Cmp / 7.19 YPA / 4.3% TD / 2.5% INT that Stafford posted in his previous 71 games dating back to 2011. He hasn’t missed a game since 2010 and will have most of his weapons back, as Marvin Jones, Golden Tate, Theo Riddick and Kenny Golladay are all under contract in 2018.

Lions QB Matthew Stafford (back, questionable) took limited practice reps all week and is questionable for Week 15. Stafford should play but he’s not a good start given the injury, matchup, and his lack of weapons.

Week 15 at Buffalo Bills

Coming into the game with a sore back, Matthew Stafford didn’t need to do much in the win at Arizona last Sunday. In what was an ugly game for both offenses, he threw 23 passes for just 101 yards and no TDs, the second time in the past three weeks that’s happened. It was Stafford’s all-time lowest yardage total in any game he's started and finished, but he was aided by the Lions defense and a ground attack that netted over 120 yards. Limited on weapons, Stafford will be facing the top pass defense in the Bills this week, making him a QB2 start.
