Quarterback Rank: #30
Overall: #177
Stafford was the No. 1 overall pick in this year's draft. Obviously, he is a highly touted signal caller. But the Lions aren't just going to hand him the starter's job this season. He could be eased into action, serving as Daunte Culpepper's backup early in the season. Stafford has the intangibles to be a top NFL starter. He has a rocket for an arm, is mobile and strong for a quarterback. He does tend to force some throws at times because of his arm strength, though. Stafford should be the starter in Detroit for years to come.
Outlook: Stafford isn't a great fantasy pick. We don't expect him to be this year's Matt Ryan. The Lions have some talent around him, but Culpepper could get much of the playing time at quarterback this season. Stafford is worth a look in keeper leagues because he projects to be a solid NFL starter, but for this season, he isn't anything more than a low-end No. 2 quarterback. |
