2019 Outlook
Depth Chart
If you've been reading my player outlooks for any stretch of time you will notice I enjoy breaking down the quarterbacks, with Stafford being one of my favorites to examine. While his play on the field hasn't equated to many wins for Detroit, he's always been an overlooked fantasy asset. Unfortunately I took little pleasure in watching the Lions offense last year, and preparing for this breakdown has been equally rough.

Breakdown is a great word to describe Stafford. Despite being one of the toughest sonova-guns in the NFL (he essentially played several games with a broken back last year), the constant beatings he's taken have begun to take their toll. He played much of the season with lingering back and upper body injuries and it showed in his play. He accounted for his fewest total touchdowns (21) since his second year in the league, and he simply couldn't overcome the myriad of injuries suffered by the line, backs, and receivers. Losing the reliable Golden Tate via in-season trade seemed to be the death knell on Stafford's season, as his post trade numbers were significantly worse without his slot-security blanket. The dysfunction on offense was enough for the Lions to make a change, going with the well-traveled Darrell Bevell as the new OC. Bevell comes to the Lions after a highly successful seven-year stint with the Seahawks. Bevell is a safe, unexciting hire for the Lions, and someone who will work to transform this offense into a run-first, pass later philosophy.

I can't really argue with what the Lions are trying to do on offense. Sure, it seems like a backward philosophy in today's NFL, but what has the high flying, throw the football 600 times strategy really gotten the Lions anyway? While the Lions woes have been great for Stafford's fantasy football value, he's been beaten down. With the signing of C.J. Anderson, and the healthy return of second year back Kerryon Johnson, I can see Stafford's pass attempts come down, perhaps to some of the lowest in his career. The reality is the days of top-7 value are gone, and the best we can hope from Stafford is as a decent QB2.
