Draft note

by John Paulsen

Stafford is perennially undervalued. He’s coming off a back injury, but he was on fire during the first eight games. He averaged 312 yards and 2.38 pass touchdowns per game, eclipsing the 23-point mark in five of eight games. With Kenny Golladay, Marvin Jones, T.J. Hockenson, and the newly-added D’Andre Swift, Stafford also has one of the league’s better receiving corps. He offers good value as the 13th quarterback off the board in early drafts.

Latest news

Stafford and Hockenson already have great chemistry

Carlos Monarrez - Detroit Free Press

Sep 18 · 10:54 AM EDT

Carlos Monarrez of the Detroit Free Press wrote Friday about the visible chemistry between Lions QB Matthew Stafford and TE T.J. Hockenson after nearly a year away from their last game action with each other. "Sure, they had gotten some practice during training camp and offseason workouts that Stafford organized," wrote Monarrez. "But no one knew how good their chemistry would be in the season opener, given the major irregularities of the offseason."

“Yeah it was good,” Stafford said Wednesday of his chemistry with Hockenson. “Coach did a nice job drawing up some play to get him some chances and he capitalized on them. His touchdown, he’s probably the most-covered guy on the field. I jammed it in there to him, but it was a nice catch. I was happy for him.”

Fantasy Impact:

Stafford and Hockenson opened 2019 with a bang before Hockenson disappeared from the fantasy landscape and Stafford was lost for the season. 2020 started off well and should continue, especially if WR Kenny Golladay continues to miss time. Hockenson will see plenty of extra coverage this Sunday against the Green Bay Packers, but is firmly in the TE1 conversation.

DET QB Matthew Stafford - Week 7 Fantasy Football Outlook

Week 7 at Atlanta Falcons
In the win at Jacksonville last week, Matthew Stafford finished with 223 yards and one TD – the first time since the opener he failed to toss for multiple scores. In a strange coincidence, it was the third straight game in which he attempted exactly 31 passes. Stafford has yet to throw for 300 yards this season, averaging 248 yards per outing. The Falcons are yielding over 330 yards through the air, so consider Stafford a low-end QB1 start.
