Matthew Stafford, quarterback, Detroit Lions
The Lions aren’t the only ones losing with Stafford on their team.
Stafford currently ranks 26th in fantasy points, which has him sitting lower than some quarterbacks who haven’t even played in all four games.
It’s quite concerning to see other quarterbacks such as Jameis Winston, Blake Bortles and even Colin Kaepernick ranking higher than Stafford at this point in the season. With the way the Lions are playing, they’re just not staying on the field long enough to get within scoring range, which is why Stafford is tanking your fantasy team.
Stafford has no business being in anybody’s starting lineup, let alone sitting on the bench as a backup quarterback. Surely there are other options available on the waiver wire such as Ryan Fitzpatrick, or even Kirk Cousins, who sits eight ranks above Stafford.
Rid yourself of Stafford, because he is not miraculously going to become a top-10 fantasy quarterback in the foreseeable future. The issues run deep in Detroit.
